Re: Christopher, the Arabs, and Farming out the Hit

I think Christopher is setting himself or the "family" up for some big trouble by dealing with the Arabs. If the feds get info that the NJ crew is dealing with terrorists (assuming they are terrorists), I don't think they would spare any expense in bringing them down. Those earlier scenes with Agent Harris were foreshadowing this result in my opinion. It could also lead to a huge Tony/Christopher conflict which is also brewing under the surface.

I only see two possibilities with the Arabs. Either they get busted by the FBI for a bunch of terrorist crap and implicate Chris. Not very likely I think, since yes, it takes Chris out of the picture for good, but its' a bad way of doing it - whatever they get Chris for probably wouldn't have greater reach then just Chris - they want something which will implicate the family, etc.

More likely I think, is that the Arabs are FBI cooperators. Notice how they seem too interested in Tony all the time? Notice that Agent Harris is back and spending time in the neighborhood?
Though I'm trying to figure out what the angle would be...

Christopher is probably the most stupid member of the crew---I say this even knowing that Paulie is on board. He comes off as uneducated, uninformed, is strictly low-brown, and he can't even get pop culture references (like Godfather references) right. It's as if all that horse killed off some of the neurons permanently. Worse, now his ego is getting out of control---he's an established captain, he's sober, there's no Ade to keep him somewhat human and in check....he's openly questioning Tony's orders. He's cheated death how many times now....death which should have come due to his own brazen stupidity. I don't know how much longer he can hang in there.

With Christopher being the dumbest member of the crew (see the beginning of Pine Barrens when Paulie is telling him {Christopher} about the Cuban Missle Crisis and Christopher says to Paulie, "That was real? I thought it was a movie.") I can see him getting in over his head with the Arabs and not even knowing he is contributing to terrorism. What if the Arabs use the tek-9's to take out a bunch of commuters on a NJ Transit Train at the height of rush hour?

i just watched it first time full length and noted also how the arabians ask all the time for tony, they come directly to the point and even brought a present for tony this time.i can't clearly understand what they are saying wshats in it...'we brought him some xxx'.could anybody tell me please?sweeties which could be poisoned or something?
where could the arabs come from?Furio?Junior?the russian?any old deals involving arabs?i only seem to remember the arab guy with which he had a after-done-deal-dinner with and got food poisoning and then had the dreams which lead to pussys death.thats far off though maybe, any other arabs anywhere?
or does tony have contact to a person or any persons they want to launch a terror attack(with the tek-9s maybe) on?

or maybe big pussys wife?she has money now and puss never came back when tony left with him for the boat trip, arab connections she could have through pussys H connection.
or maybe her and Ro, Ro's family is destroyed by tony as well.
where is Hercule Poirot when you need him?
edit: ops, made a new answer <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif ALT=":|"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> .
i mean, why out of all things, did we see a cut with pussys wife and carmella when tony was shot by junior?this made so no sense.who knows, maybe she even paid junior?
just drifting away a bit now i guess lol.


another edit: she is wearing full black when she is with carmella, maybe she knew what was happening that evening.
