My take was that he killed him because he was abandoning him just like Tony, but he couldn't take out his frustration on Tony. I don't think Chris actually said anything incriminating that J.T. didn't already know, did he?
Not per se, but he did make references to Adrianna and Ralph, both of whom disappeared suddenly.Please See Mine said:
Instead of it being a random shooting, suddenly the police have a prime suspect. Depending on what he has in there (recorded conversations, etc) the cops could be able to associate some motive to the killing on Chris.

The goons made a point of telling the welcher that "Anthony Soprano Jr" was going to come after him if he didn't pay.If the cops squeeze AJ he'd sing like a bird, but he dosen't know anything. Interesting to see what Tony would do if AJ was facing 5 years in the pen. I don't know if AJ could do 5 years, even as the protected son of a boss.General Malaise said:
Chris didn't really flip out though until the writer asserted forcefully stated that Chris was in the mafia...I think at that point he realized he'd said to much to the guy. In any case, I'd be pretty surprised if that murder came back to haunt him unless he was stupid enough to keep the gun. Like Cappy said above, I think the more interesting storyline is the terrorist guys. I have no idea how it could play out, but it would seem that it could give Tony the out he seemingly wants if it amounts to anything. I also wouldn't be shocked to see something with Phil busting up Tony's crew and then Tony bringing down the NY crew in response.Please See Mine said:
Shooter McGavin?
I believe he's talking about the guy Chris was talking to in the stairwell, but the thought of him being a plant never crossed my mind.
I wish, but no way. Bobby was in on it as well.
Bobby quietly listened to the plot. Then when Albert said no, Bobby stood in the kitchen listening to Junior talking out loud about who he was better off with (Tony or Richie)... then June requested a meeting with Tony. Bobby said "I'm in awe of you." That was the extent of his involvement. Saying he was "in on it" is a stretch, IMO.
That was the extent of Bobby doing anything at that point. Seemed to me he was nodding his head at what Junior said. At that point, nodding = being into it.But, I don't really want to argue about what a nod means.Bobby quietly listened to the plot.

He was also ringing the doorbell before he began knocking, so his fingerprint would probably be the last one on the doorbell.Honestly, I don't think the murder of JT is going to come into play again. I think it is just showing Chris' desperation and lonliness. He feels as if he doesn't have a place in his 'family' anymore. He went to someone he thought he could talk to outside of the family, and he was pushed away.
I forgot about this until just now. I got the same feeling when watching it.
I thought the same thing but I have no idea why they would do this??
I don't think there's enough time to draw out much of a story line for Syl other than finishing out loyal to the end and right by Tony's side in whichever direction he goes. With 4 shows left and huge plot lines around Chris, Tony, AJ, Phil and lesser openings with Paulie, the Arabs, Carmela's house and relationship, there isn't much room left for characters like Meadow, Syl or Bobby. We've seen cancer claim John, Adriana get sniped, Vito beaten to death, Junior deciding he likes being locked into long term care and recognizes his deteriorating health. I just think it's too much to include anything that hasn't been open already.
While I tend to agree...it also seems that each episode has centered around different relationships Tony has with with the people close to him. We still haven't seen Meadow or Sil resolved in any way and it seems like Chase started with those who were farthest from him and is building to those who are closest/who he trust the most.
I would - cross the border for an absolutely unrelated person who has absolutely no connection to the dead body?I don't see it.GREAT episode - easily the best of this year, probably the best since season 5.The look on AJ's face shows he will clearly fill the void of depression with violent aggression - like Daddy like Son. The discussion of the rift between Chris and Tony and the growing unsettled rift between Cjhris and Paulie is gonna come to some kind of head b4 the series ends.IMO, Tony will not be dead at the end of the series, but he might be very very alone (either in jail or w/o any of his closest mafia people). I could see an end where Tony realize salvation is his family and not his mob family after, say, AJ dies.
Chase lets stuff like this slide ALL the time. We really have no idea which crimes come back to bite someone on the butt and which crimes simply fade into nothing.
Or he's "sleeping" while stuff is happening.
Maybe he is just tired, waiting for a good episode like the rest of us.
there was no point, just a filler episode
I've been thinking for some time that something big is going to happen with Silvio. Not sure what, but with this season focused on Tony's closest confidantes, something could be in the works. Sil is generally under the radar, with little more than his great contorted facial expressions, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something happen there. Don't forget - he was the one that whacked Adriana.
I can see something like that happening. Tony told Melfi that this was his last time visiting her. You know that's not going to happen. The show won't end without at least one more solid Melfi session that helps Tony realize what he needs to do, whatever that may be. So what brings him to see Melfi again? Something big - like Phil giving Tony something to wallow about, just like he did to him - clipping Chris or worse yet, AJ. I think we will see Tony crying like a baby in Melfi's chair before the series ends. As far as Carlo's kid getting involved with the family, I can see that. Why else would they expand his character showing he can "earn" in college as well as take care of business. If AJ isn't killed off, I see him joining forces. Again, why else would Chase show AJ being an absolute baby, crying at other couples, crying at Starbucks, watching Tom & Jerry - only to see him watching a violent movie later on in the episode, participating in a beatdown, showing some signs of life as the man Tony would like him to be?-just my thoughts.
It's posts like this that make me think I'm watching an entirely different series than many people. The dream episodes were all about getting into Tony's head. About his conflict with the road he has chosen and what might have been. It's a big portion of the show IMO. I know many people prefer to just watch the action, this to me is what has differentiated Sopranos over the years. It's about more than just the action.
There was pages of discussion on the dream episode in the first half of the season 6 thread
Can he take her out? Does she know ANYTHING thats valuable to the feds? I gotta wonder how only his close confidants know he's seeing her. He hasn't EVER been followed to her office?
Everybody knows, including New York. At the party after Christopher was made, Carmine asked Tony if the therapy was helping at all.
What ever happened to the chick cop who got Adriana to turn? I can't remember now.
