A couple of friends and myself are having a dispute over when
Christopher decided to go to Tony about Adriana. He act's very
convincing, after choking her, in the apartment, talking about exactly
how they can get away together, and then leaves to get some Cigs.

Then we flash to Christopher at a gas station admiring his H2 and
looking at the poor family and the unhappy father.

In my opinion, he is imagining what life would be like if they had to
runaway and have no money, and that's when he truly decides to go to
Tony and have her whacked.

A friend of mine believes he just acted like he wanted to run away
with her in the witness protection program, and that scene at the gas
station just solidified his decision.

I have to admit, it seems like Christopher would have never thought
about going into the program, and he was just trying to get out of the
apartment to go directly to Tony, but he was angry with his current
status with Tony, and he did love Adriana.

What is the consensus in this group? Anyone?

This is probably it, although those Italians are really good liars.

He loved Adriana like he would love a pet dog that he kicks around but has
had some good nookie with from time to time. If he loved her in a halfass
humane way, he woulda asked Tony to let him whack her, and then put a gun to
her head when she wasn't looking, and blow her away before she knew what
happened. Syl was an asshole with that hit. But he musta been pretty
pissed off at her. Before I even knew he was gonna whack her, I thought I
detected some aggravation in his mannerisms. He has got to be the most
overacting sonofabitch on the show. But since he did show that hint of
aggravation, at least that was some good acting. But I'm not surprised he
doesn't get much airtime.

Far as I can tell, someone wrote about Silvio:

That's what's so great about him. He's the only one who can do that and
get away with it! He snaps his sleeves and jerks his head to the side
and "acts Mobster". He's like a caricature of himself.

I can sense a powerful protective force field of dense stupidity
surrounding you, such that I doubt you could tell your ass from your
elbow if had name tags on each of them.

Another thing I just noticed about that gas station scene is that the
trailer trash dude's car had all their belongings tied down on top of
the car. They were homeless or on the run.

Of course, one thing that Christopher didn't take into consideration is
that people who go into witness protection don't exactly end up on
welfare or food stamps, but I think his point was well taken nonetheless.

You don't call a piece of ass as fine as Adriana a cunt just before you
whack her. I woulda fucked her first. Then she'd die happy.

I still say that the part right after he stops choking her and is
sitting there crying in despair was actually Christopher's little
funeral for her. When he stated that he would write his memoirs, he had
already resigned himself to what had to be done for his own survival.

I think that sociopaths process emotions that quickly.

And he's stated that a number of times. That's the reason he's in that
role. He's too over the top to be real.

I assure you, laughter would not be the activity on my SheCat's mind right
after I spunked my wad in her sugar walls and popped an anti-depressant in
the back of her head.

build a house...

Nooooo, the plot of land Carm wants to build on is right down the street from
the current Soprano dwelling. Silv took The Smelly Valentine out to some wooded
area in Jersey.

i don't think chris had decided one way or the other when he left the
apartment - you really think he's was just going for some cigarettes? seeing
the mullet man and his family made his decision.
