I tend to skim read the first two pages of these threads, and then post my thoughts; too much second-guessing about the next episode, too much wanting to be proved right for my liking (not a bad thing, but I need to avoid spoilers at all costs with this show).

So, a very good episode; clever parallels between the two Families, here, both weakening, it seems, at the top: Johnny Sac incarcerated and crying at his daughter's wedding, and Tony collapsing over the undoing of his shoes - both in public, too. Subtle indications of it all going tits up, I think. The shit is certainly hitting the pan for everybody, it seems: people who don't have leaderships capabilities are getting too big for their boots, Tony is becoming more psychologically tormented every week, desperate to reclaim his firm grasp on his crew, and New York seems inert, despite Phil's ambition.

Vince Curatola proves with each episode he's in what a fantastic actor he is.
