Is awe inspiring. But also the most underrated dynamic in the entire series. Not only Tony but every character.

Chris’ last comment about his father Dickie moltisanti really hit home for Tony, since Tony looked up greatly to both dickie and his own father Johnny boy. Throughout the series Tony places these old school gangsters on a pedestal and romanticises them in order to justify his own lifestyle as a gangster, whilst burying the fact that these were the very people that forced him into an amoral way of life that he deep down regrets, and that causes him great inner conflict, guilt and in turn, depression and panic attacks Tony is clearly at a loss for words when Christopher calmly addresses the reality of Tony’s heroes, since it goes against everything he has been forcing himself to believe his whole life in order to carry on living the way he does. It would be too much for Tony to confront the truth that terrible, evil people led him into a terrible, evil occupation and led to Tony becoming more terrible and evil than any of his predecessors.

Now that I think about it that may be something that Melfi tried to hint at as well.

I know. Tony was a huge fucking hypocrite. I was personally struggling with heroin a lot during the times that season 4 and 5 aired (2002-2005 roughly) and I always empathized with Chrissy and his desire to get clean. Tony never could, and never would understand, and he always resented Chrissy for it. "The Ride" was a great episode, and was pretty much the last hoorah for Tony and Chris as friends/family.

[@MrElis420]

Jon Kline He really was. He couldn't get over his addictions, and problems, but he thought everyone else should/would be able to. I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with Heroin, that drug fucked my dads life up for 30+ years. As well as the Methadone, which was worse than the Heroin. And I dealt with it till the day he died. May he rest in peace.

Rusty Kuntz Right, and when he DID try to be honest he got mocked and made fun of for it.

[@danielghill1241]

King Shabazz It's basically another opiate like heroin. Just, medically sanctioned. It's common to hear recovering addicts say methadone is worse than the drug it's supposed to help kick. I'm not sure why really. I personally think just giving people doses of good medical quality heroin each day works better. They already do that in Canada in certain cities and it works wonders.

[@zacharyb2723]

I remember reading an interview with a Mexican hitman, who had to flee from his own gang after he quit doing coke with them. And they were right not to trust him. He had started to feel the presence of God for the first time in his life, and was, in his own mind, turning away from the gang. The problem with Chris getting clean is that once he starts down the righteous path, he might decide he needs to leave the whole mob life behind. They don't want him to be an addict, but they don't want him to reexamine his life either. People who make major personal changes are gonna put their mob family on edge. At some level, they know the mafia depends on LACK of mental health. You need to be healthy enough to earn, but not so healthy you start to question the whole thing.

This was one of those great scenes where Chase really started to drive home how shitty Tony was as a human being. We got lulled into liking the guy because of the writing and Gandolfini's masterful portrayal of the guy but in the end...Tony was a real piece of shit. Interestingly enough this also highlights how Tony isn't a very good boss either. He has a known 'problem' subordinate on his hands who is actually trying to fulfill his obligations to the job by keeping sober and...rightfully, keeping away from the things that would tempt him to fall off the wagon and yet Tony gets on him about not 'being one of the guys." Shitty leadership. And Christopher was right, Tony should know better because of his time in therapy...which also points to how Tony has basically been gaming his therapy and is beyond fixing in his own right.

If Chris stops coming to the Bing and Satriale's, it would start raising suspicion and bad feelings in the crew. Second, Tony is right that Chris is using his vices as a crutch. Chris has to adjust to the world, not the world to Chris; you just can't avoid every place that has a fridge with beer... In Chris' line of work, he can't really even avoid every place with drugs. He has to suck it up and adjust, no other solution. Tony was right.

It was kinda sad actually, because Bobby finally really earned Tony's respect in the boat when they are talking about making him Tony's new "underboss" because of Chrissy's diversion agendas, but later after they fight, Tony gains an even bigger respect for Bobby. It was not just spite that made Tony force Bobby to finally cross that line into Hell and commit a murder, but mainly because it was the only real way for him TO trust Bobby that much to make him that kind of position in the organization. Tony knew by bringing Bobby along that close like that, he would also be "condemning" his soul.

Brilliant scene. Tony still has to assert his power/rank, even in this setting, by telling Christopher that "the steaks are done" and ordering him to "turn those ribs"

[@jorisw_]

The big takeaway from this scene is that Chrissie just told Tony that Tony's biggest hero, was a junkie. Tony talks about this at length at Dr Melfi's. "A guy you could look up to. And your hope is that you pass that shit down. The love, and respect". It's a this moment that every connection between Tony and Chris, is gone. That father figure pattern of Tony's, that keeps him close to Chrissie, was just flushed down the toilet by Chris' remarks. This goes a long way to explain the events in the next episode.

[@PrivateAckbar]

Its a long character arc with Tony and Christopher. The show goes lengths into how immature, ineffective, and disrespected Chris is. How the captains resent Tony's favouritism. All Chris's problems with drugs and impulsiveness. They make it very clear that Chris's success is really dependent on Tony, and in the later seasons Chris starts really hating Tony so they're gesturing to Chris's destiny throughout the show the same way they imply what will happen to Tony. I think the main thing that fell apart between Chris and Tony in season 6 was Tony's plans for Chris to be his confidant and mouthpiece. Its in the episode Sopranos Home Movies where we realise Tony lost all faith in Chris when he tells Bobby he's giving him the second in command. Chris has static with Bobby from then on. And its the episode before he dies he describes their relationship as "poisoned".

being an addict means you dont have any discipline. i can give up doing something at will with little drawbacks. some people just dont have a strong enough state of mind to be in control of their own actions and psychology. it takes training but ive developed a strong control of myself and independence in growing up.

[@fabo36]

here's the thing on everybody debating, it's been a while, since I posted this and when I did I think I was in a bad mood....but to me addiction isn't a disease like a REAL sickness....it's a vice....BUT some ppl start off cuz they have to because they had a major surgery or have chronic pain and some doctors out there are without a doubt LEGAL DRUG DEALERS......so anyone talking about "if you start you're week minded" stfu, I walked to my car and class he next day with a torn, RUPTURED IN HALF Achilles tendon, but then the prescribed me 60 Lortab 10's for 5 month....way, way , way, WAYYYYYYYY too much. It should have been 30 7.5 's for a month at most and then cut me off. But then you mentally more than physically depend on them, and then once the physical part comes you HAVE to get them to get through the day cuz if you haven't gone through opiate withdrawal, and I mean bad heroin or 1500 mg of Roxy's a day habit withdrawal then sfu......so is it a disease? It's a disease like depression and anxiety....it's something you can probably control if you try hard enough, but there's easier ways to deal with it and that's drugs. Russell Brand for example watched a tape of him in a empty house with $10 to his name, BUT he had some drugs to smoke, and while he was watching it (and this is after million dollars worth of success fuckin Katy Perry every night) he said "I am jealous of that guy with no money with the drugs...and that's how I know it's a disease"....because you love the drugs so much, success, fame, love, money, cars, mansions, all that material shit will NEVER COME CLOSE to the experience you get from your drug of choice. ESPECIALLY heroin or opiates (oxy's, Roxy's, Percocet's, etc)......so again, is it a disease? A different kind of disease if you ask me. Only if you've really gone through using drugs, gone through PAINFUL physical witdrawals, and then mentally conquered the habit then you can say whatever you want, but you're still a dick and a hypocrite for calling addicts out. Anyone else good for you for being smart enough to not go down that road. But shit happens, and some ppl can't take shit sober, and also SOME people, like around 5 million or so are addicted to opiates in America today....life can be to tough sometimes and bad choices are made....heroin numbs reality and make you feel painless. SO gain like depression and anxiety, drug addiction is a disease like that...

Christopher's sober revelations and also realizing that he probably should have sided with Adriana instead of Tony should have been a message for him to get out of the "life".

Out of every1 out of the show, Christopher realized his father's legacy was bullshit, & the life he was living had an expiration date on it. He could've ended up being the "Henry Hill" of the group & actually wrote a movie on his life instead of doing a parody like "Cleaver".

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

Jason Henry I would have loved to see an alternate scenario where Chris and Adriana flip and go witness protection, and they are always lurking in the background waiting to reappear and cause Tony's entire thing to collapse. it seems like this was the plan with Livia in season 3 had the actress survived. it also would have been an interesting twist to the running joke about guys that get killed (ralphie, Richie, pussy) supposedly going into witness protection and then finally Chris and ade actually do it.

[@franksgreatdecline]

I honestly love this scene so much, really shows how far Tony has fallen and how much of a hypocrite he is, and Chris is by no means a saint, how he treated Adrianna, him being a junkie, and his general hot-headedness & stupidity, but it really says more about Tony the fact that he repeatedly undermines & pushes Chris back into addiction when he starts actually rethinking his life and begins to question if the likes of his father Dickie (and although he doesn’t say it, Tony) are actually good people/father figures, it’s the crabs-in-a-bucket mentality, when one of them tries to get out (Chris) everyone else immediately pulls them back down (Tony & Paulie insulting Chris for being sober), and while Tony says to himself he kills Chris because he was a junkie (again, only because Tony himself pushed him back into it), and that he could’ve killed his own wife & daughter due to his addiction, notice that in the dream following Chris’ death, Tony does not mention his concern for Chris’ family, and that he was simply a liability to his business.

It's "about time you invited everyone over." 4. Because otherwise, "we'd never see you." 5. Hey, you're ruining the steak. (0:59) 6. Hey, what's wrong with you? (1:09).
