No matter how shocking Christopher's death is, I think I have a right to say it was underwhelming and unsatisfying.
It does make sense in the context of what was happening; with Christopher using and drinking again and the relationship between Tony and Christopher becoming ever distant, Chris became too much of a liability to Tony. Chris ultimately dying because of his drug use does make sense. But it just didn't sit right with me.
What frustrates me about this show is how characters never grow, they're always regressing. It might be what the show is trying to say, but it's not satisfying to watch because it feels like we're going in circles. It's not unreasonable to say that people can change. Chris had the most potential of all the characters to change for the better and have some sort of redemption for all he's done. It looked like the whole show had building to a conflict between Chris and Tony. I wanted to see the hatred Chris was brewing against Tony come into play, with everything that happened to Adriana I saw the potential of maybe avenging her death. He sided with Tony and it's suggested that he regretted that choice. Sure dying in a car crash is realistic, but it just didn't do a character, who I've followed for 6 seasons, justice.
Seeing AJ following in his fathers footsteps is interesting to see. It's funny how he's doing exactly what Tony does, he does a terrible thing and then complains about it in therapy.
Not sure how the show will end. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
