@@sergiomendoza4850 he wasn’t looking at him as a son. They were just close. Tony was close to sil Paulie and Chris from season 1-3. But in season 4 the writers made tony more greedy and self centered. It’s probably because he (tony) felt that he couldn’t rely on them much anymore after a series of screw ups and they weren’t able to improve themselves. With the pine barrens situation , chrissys drug abuse, paulie went to jail briefly, the Columbus episore that made sil look bad. He just got fed up with it all and started looking after himself .

Eventually he was looked as soft, weak, unreliable and the only reason he lasted this long was literally because he was related to Tony. He would've probably died along with Branden if it wasn't for him being related to Tony. In the end all Chrissy wanted was the same fear & respect Tony had but he could never achieve it because it was always so obvious he was going out of his way to look like a tough guy when he really looked a dipshit and Tony had to scold him many times for whatever Chrissy did wrong.

@@TanstA he literally would have been whacked if it wasn’t for Tony’s mother talking junior out of it. So you’re 100% on point with your assessment.

Him talking open about his new baby girl like that in a room full of hardened criminals in the mob is a sign of weakness.

[@thehighburyzone311]

This is probably one of the saddest storylines in the whole show, just to see their relationship collapse because Christopher realises how much bullshit was in their lives. If Christopher had stayed off of the booze and not relapsed, he could have left the Mob behind and gone into the movie business with a wife and kid. Great work as always Borko!!

[@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253]

I don't really see that is the reason they're relationship deteriorated. It was a big part of what kept them apart and that's obviously not going to help things but I think as Chris got older he just became less and less reliable in Tony's eyes, and at some point Tony (who only "loved" him because he saw him a protege) realized he was never going to be reliable enough to succeed him, and so he killed him. Just my take on it of course.

[@thehighburyzone311]

Themistokles Theodosopoulos that’s what’s great about this show, everybody can see different storylines in different ways. Think it was a mixture of a few reasons why their relationship collapsed, and it’s ironic considering Chris could have been really useful in the war with New York

[@James_Price79]

Charles Schwab over here

[@robyeone7976]

"Left the Mob(?)" Hmm... I agree with you in a sense. Tony should have let Chris pursue his Film Fantasies in Hollywood with Adriana even after Chrissy was made. Let Chris go, he sends packages back home every now and then; movie profits, gift show shit, whatever. Maybe Chris sets up a club out in Hollywood that the stars attend, whatever... Tony never knew how to strike a balance with people, it was all about what Tony wanted OR, Fuck 'em they're useless too him. If he struck a balance with Chrissy or even with Blundetto, they'd both be alive; so would Tony for that matter.

[@MSimp2k6]

@@thehighburyzone311 I Agree. Tony became a lot more unforgiving as a boss and as a human being as the seasons passed. By Season 5 and 6, Tony was considering whacking people for basically anything (Paulie & possibly Hesh, for example). Having said that, Chris should've never been fast-tracked up the ladder from day one. I'd forgotten just how unreliable he was until I watched the whole run again. In the first two or three seasons if you just listened to Chris then Tony's name might as well be, "Sorry T!" On the other hand, even when Chris is keeping up his end and not using, Tony ruins Chris's chances of sobriety by constantly breaking his balls regarding his abstention from booze (and he does it in such a way that they don't have a serious discussion about it, he just undermines him and makes 'joke' comments that have a serious undertone). At that point, there's absolutely nothing Chris could do to win. It didn't matter how well he performed or the sacrifices he made, Tony would never respect his choices. I also think Tony treats Chris more harshly as the seasons progress as his presence is a constant reminder of Tony's own poor decision-making re: Chris's promotions. I think the really interesting part of the Tony & Chris relationship is that Tony is meant to be a surrogate father figure to Chris, just as Junior was a father figure to Tony. Tony is simultaneously the nephew who complains that his uncle is to blame for the breakdown of their relationship while also being the uncle that blames his nephew. Tony is a piece of shit and can't reflect on any of his terrible decisions.

[@Sirinwara]

*Chrissy was an idiotic mobster sacrificing everything for another mobster who was less idiotic but with more vision.

[@Boudica234]

That's 1 way to look at it. Another way is that in a world of stone cold killers, becoming a glaring liability is a death sentence. Remember, years earlier Tony learned that Christopher was a junkie. A real mobster would have killed him then and there. No way a boss could risk a junkie underling flipping on him over a nickel bag. That was strike 1. Tony gave him HUGE pass by letting him go to rehab and sparing his life. Then Christopher got high again, shot up Tony's SUV, and tried to shoot Tony after his girlfriend got in the accident with Tony. Doesn't matter that Tony wanted to fuck Adrianna. Trying to shoot a mob boss is an absolute death sentence 100% of the time. Strike 2. Again Tony gave Christopher the pass of a lifetime and spared his life. I won't even count the movie Christopher made where the plot mocked Tony repeatedly-another stunt that should have gotten him killed. When Tony discovers that Christopher is using again after the last accident it was Strike 3. No way Tony or any legit mob boss could let him live. A junkie in police custody will flip quicker than a flapjack EVERY time. So yeah, a cold blooded murderer killed his nephew, another cold blooded murderer, for something he should have killed him for years earlier.

That BBQ scene was pretty brutal. It's sad that Tony cannot stand to even hear criticism levelled at the male influences in his life. I found it pretty striking that when speaking with Melfi, Tony waves away any exploration of the topic (even when Melfi pushes the fact that Tony had to cover for Johnny Boy's affair when Livia is in hospital, Tony doesn't give it serious consideration -- if the roles were reversed he would've added it to the list of Reasons Why My Mother Was a Bitch). Tony even goes so far as to seek out some sort of friendship with his dad's mistress, ostensibly to either get to know his dad a little more by proxy, or just to find more reasons to shit on his mother.

[@YungM.D.]

Tony’s treatment of Chrissy in the final seasons I think really cemented his hypocrisy and his growing monstrosity. He gets Christopher into rehab by force because he’s “fucking up” and then mocks and belittles him for not drinking or partying anymore because that’s not masculine. Tony really transformed from antihero into a genuinely unlikable person by the end and it’s both impressive and kind of horrifying to watch. It feels like a true betrayal.

[@edd8914]

Tony didn't communicate it in the best way, but he wanted Chris to strike a balance and drink in moderation. It was necessary to wine and dine if you were gonna take over as a mob boss. He resented Chris' weakness to have to be on one extreme or the other. Heck, not drinking is one thing, but not hanging around the club in a face-to-face business is a deal breaker.

Tony was *never* an anti-hero, my guy. At best he killed fellow criminals for equally criminal reasons. Meanwhile he victimized civilians implicitly just by his status as captain and then as boss or explicitly and directly with people like Dave Scatino. Davey definitely was culpable for his own behavior but still Tony knowingly took advantage as he himself admitted. He turned from a loveable villain with some of redeeming qualities and charisma to a hateable one with very very few.

Or that Tony or another crew member will say something. Chrissy was a fuck up who I think was ultimately to blame for his own demise, but it still makes me sad to see it nevertheless.
