Nice, now everybody is going to try to recapture the magic of my post.

I was heartbroken by Christopher's death.

This was 10x harder to take than Big Pussy's death. Chrissy was my favorite character on the show, and Michael I the most under-rated actor.

(122 posts in this thread, and not one person said anything like that. I'm shocked to discover that I was Michael Imperioli's only fan--or that even the most essential characters are so expendable in the eyes of most viewers.)

If we didn't know the show was over the loss of Chris would be difficult.

Weird.

I usually feel emotional when a big character dies, however they did something to make me not care at all...
And I was a big fan of Chris.

[censored] you toney. May you rot in hell where you truly belong. Your shtick was alright for a while, you had to do what you had to do, but you ruin everything you touch. I hope you die.

Yea I too wasn't all that affected by Chris's death, and it might have to do with the fact that we know there's only 3 more episodes.

The death that affected me the most by far was Ralphie's. After being a complete prick in season 3, he grew somewhat more likable and sympathetic in season 4, especially in his final episode.

It was also a more brutal death. Tony and Ralphie fought, and I was rooting for Ralphie, but Tony finally got the better of him and smashed his head repeatedly into the floor until all that was left was Ralphie's sad, smashed face.

The rest of the episode (at least half an hour) used no music and showed no storyline other than Tony and Chris disposing of the body. It ended with Tony leaving the empty Bing with a bright white light filling up the door. Over the credits, an amazing, disturbing remix of Morricone's "Man With the Harmonica" played that hammered home the feeling that it was all downhill from there and that the boom had been lowered on the Sopranos (shown literally at the beginning of the episode when Junior was hit with a boom microphone and fell down the courthouse stairs).

I was stunned after that episode.

As far as deaths go, Ralphie's murder of Tracie, the pregnant hooker, was the saddest. And Ralphie's death was the most profound of the series, and thus the best ever done on television.

Ever since Christopher shot the kid behind the counter way back in season one, I saw him as an unpredictable psychopath, and could not form an emotional attachment to his character like I could with others. Brilliant to watch, he was always a ticking timebomb, and this was reflected in the murder of JT last episode. Christopher finally got what was long coming to him. We could empathize with Tony's relief, which is probably why we are not moved by Christopher's death.

"but you ruin everything you touch."

The reverse Midas. Everything I touch turns to sh*t.

1) the chips he has after his final payout are quite clearly $25s, $100s, and $500s. they are not roulette chips, they are cash chips. they have denominations, they are not the standard "one color to a player" roulette chips. this means that his bets are indeed smaller than i thought he had been betting on table games. then again, maybe he was just betting smaller in his on drugs scene or something. it's not like in his "small" session there he didn't wind up with $20k on the table. it's also not like you can't burn through many thousands at roulette if you spread 500 around on a few numbers every spin.

2) so like, what are people's interpretations of "i get it"?
