I'm trying to process exactly what David Chase was thinking when he decided to go forth with this version of his end game for The Sopranos. Frankly, I just don't get it..at all.

I am befuddled as to why a character with as much impact on the series over the years is disposed of quickly without any buildup, without any ends being tied up (Adrianna, JT, Paulie, etc), and ... well, almost as though he was never a integral part of the show. Very confusing...it felt very anticlimactic, very out of place and..rushed.

I'm just wholly disappointed that Chase et. al. didn't capitalize on the immense opportunities that were put in front of them to end the show with Christopher being a key player...or, at least, disposed of in a better, more explained way.

Chase isn't interested in tying everything up in a neat little bow. People were also disappointed that the Russian never came back. Sometimes people just die without any fanfare.

Did you want Christopher to get really high and start choking AJ in the Bing so that Tony could pull him off and then brutally beat him to death in front of everybody and then get arrested, with the irony being that his once protégé causes his downfall?

Or perhaps Tony could be having sex with Kelli Moltisanti while the baby is in its crib, Christopher barges in, shoots at Tony, kills Kelli by accident, and in the resulting fight between Chris and Tony the crib is knocked over and the baby is crushed and then AJ slips on some blood and cracks his head open and dies and then Meadow gets into a deadly car accident while grieving, and then Carmela once again falls in love with Father Intintola and he leaves the priesthood for her and the final shot of the series is FBI Agent Dwight Harris dancing at the wedding with Gabriella Dante?

Or there's the much more subtle "life goes on" approach that would feature Christopher giving a friendly wave to Valery the Russian as Valery eats a strawberry ice-cream cone.

hahahahah... great post. People like Murph probably would be much happier with this show if they would have stopped watching after Season 2. Before it got all, you know, existential and stuff.
