(S06E09) A lot of fans of the show, including myself, have hemmed and hawed over episodes this season (and heck, last season) when no one was offed, or when a few different storylines were advanced but a lot of the show focused on the inner thoughts of people. This week, there were quite a few "events," lots of drama, and it was an all around good show.

Christopher conveniently ends up being a father just a day or two before Carmela bumps into Ade's mother at the Feast - thank goodness Ms. La Cerva didn't find out that Christopher had gotten married, as well. Additionally, this Christopher-centric episode showed him and Tony having a good old time just moments after getting lost in Western Pennsylvania, in a shoot 'em up reminiscient of something you might have caught on an old-time gangster movie. And who doesn't like that?

It's been 21 months (!) since The Sopranos had any new episodes on HBO. They're finally returning tonight for the first part of their final season. So... who will be the first to get killed? Believe it or not, there are actually betting odds on that very topic. The numbers crunchers over at PinnacleSports.com think, of the 18 regular characters, it'll be either Uncle Junior or Christopher. Each have received 13% of all the money wagered. The odds of Uncle Junior biting it are 11/2, while the odds of Tony Soprano's nephew, Christopher, getting killed are 6/1. Tony's sister, Janice, has odds of 11/1. And, it could happen tonight. Newsweek says we'll see "a murder, a suicide, a maiming, a fatal heart attack and a shooting - all in the same episode."

So... care to wager a bet about will be the first to get whacked this season?
