The sort of improv style of making Christopher might actually be fairly realistic, at least in some cases. I forget which documentary, I think. It was about the Gambino where the guy getting made was handed a tissue and was told to imagine that this piece of tissue is a picture of a saint lol. "tony lied and said he didn't kill Richie" tony didn't lie, he didn't kill Richie, are you ok? AJ passing out when offered team Captain doesn't exactly have the makings of a varsity athlete. True Story. Like father, like son. We've heard that Tony's father had a "condition" that made him anxious. We've seen Tony experience panic attacks in his childhood and adulthood. Now to fulfill the prophecy, AJ's mental health also seems to be affected. Whether it's a predisposition in their genes or as a result of them being raised in Mob families, the Sopranos' men appear to be cursed with the inability to cope with stress. Christopher is lazy. Just like he thought buying the laptop "would do most of the work" writing the script. He thought being made just means sitting back and money falls into your lap. He wants the "fame" and perks of being a gangster but doesn't want to do the work.
