Sopranos 5/6 (spoilers): Time to SOGOTP, Chase.

Chris shooting the writer was definitely a "What the fuck?" moment, though you could feel that sense of dread for the guy the minute he opened the door. I was more surprised at how cold and quick it was, more like a hit than Chris losing it. Drunk as he was, I think he knew he had to take the guy out after all he had said. And I didn't look close enough, but am I right that he used the sleeve of his jacket to keep from putting prints on the doorknob as he left?

The writer was also the only guy who had "wronged" him in the entire episode that he could get away with killing, even though Paulie is the one he should have been taking out. The insult on his infant daughter was over the line, even for Paulie, and Tony should have seen it.

 

Except maybe it's the final straw for Chrissy, who either blows up the family from within or tears it apart from the outside as part of the witness protection program, making good on a second chance, seeing as to how he's still expressed remorse about the Ade situation in last night's episode.

 

OOP, that first paragraph was spot on. As soon as Chris was leaving it was almost as if he realized all that he said and needed to keep that person from talking.

He did use his sleeve to open the door.

 

I'm kinda wondering about the idea of A.J. as a junior mobster, though. I think he was wired from the whole thing the night it happened, but when he gets a chance to think about it, I'm not sure he has the balls for that sort of thing. (I don't want to mention the clips from next week, since some people hate reading about those).

 

What a great episode.

Imperoli, Gandolfini and Iler carried the week. Brillian performances.

 

ANOTHER great episode.

Can't wait for next week.

 

That might have been the first episode where Iler didn't annoy the shit out of me... It was a pretty cool moment when he was introduced as Tony Soprano Jr.

I accidentally read something online just before watching that told me someone was going to be whacked. Needless to say it was a bigger character than Tim Daly...

Great episode, the best in a long time...

 

When Daly said, "Chris, you're in the mafia!" I think Chris finally realized that there was no way out. Unlike Paulie or Silvo, Chris seemed to be in the mafia, not of it. Paulie and Silvo love the mob life. Chris enjoys the mob perks, but not the day-to-day duties that go along with it. It was a wonderful scene. The realization and revenge. J.T. killed Chris' dreams, so Chris killed J.T.

 

Great episode. Can't really add much to what's already been said.
But I do have a question... in the subject line, what does SOGOTP mean?

 

Shit
Or
Get
Off
The
Pot

 

Thank you. For some reason I couldn't figure that one out.

 

I couldn't figure that one out, either, so you've got company.
