one thing that i've noticed about this season and i'm not sure if i'm just reading to deep into it, but he wanted to kill paulie on the boat and he couldn't do it, and it seems as though he's been wanting to get rid of christopher for a while and he could only bring himself to do it when chris was incapacitated and near death anyways.

also to people hating on the vegas/peyote scene, that [censored] was money.

I was thinking along similar lines, except that his frustration at not being able to kill Paulie might have pushed him enough to kill Chris when the opportunity presented itsself. In other words, he couldn't 'pull the trigger' with Paulie, or with his brother-in-law who kicked his butt, for that matter, and wasn't going to let another opportunity to get rid of a nuisance go by.

I was disappointed with the peyote scene. Considering all the vivid dreams that Tony has, and how they've helped him make decisions/warned him of future dangers, I was waiting for the vision quest moment. I think that was what Tony was looking for as well, along with [censored] Chris' gumarr as a substitute for his widow.
