7. LONG TERM PARKING (Season 5)

In the beginning was the joke — ''We're in a f---in' stagmire,'' spoken, inimitably, by Little Carmine. In the end, though, we're still shaken remembering the miserable last days of Chrissy's tragic girlfriend and rat, Adriana — and her last desperate moments, crawling on hands and knees away from her fate at the end of Silvio's gun barrel. She was beautiful, venal, used, and a user. She had to go. We still miss her the most. —Lisa Schwarzbaum
