This season has almost certainly focussed more closely on "family"....not "the family".
As such, the structure and hierarchy of the Soprano OC family has become, in my mind at least, a tad blurred.
Can we all please post our ideas for the structure.
This is mine.
Boss: Tony Soprano
Underboss: Paulie Gaultieri
Consiglieri: Silvio Dante
Captains: Christopher Moltisante, Bobby Bacalieri (or maybe not), Carlo (unsure of his surname), Albert Baresi (it would be nice to see him this season) and Vito Spatafore.
Soldiers: Patsy Palmici (plus numerous others we don't see i would assume)
Associates; Benny Fazio, Hesh Rabkin, Tony's bodyguard.
This is my best guess at it. I think it has definitely got a little blurred. Paulie, i freely admit, may not be Underboss...especially as Sil stepped up to be acting Boss with Tony in the hospital.
I am open to suggestions and ideas on this.
