I found this episode interesting & amusing in many ways, which others
have already posted about in detail....
But one thing I found amusing as hell was the way ol' Silvio took
himself soooo seriously as acting Boss, and his wife pumping him up
daily about how he was just made for the job---then he has to make a
couple of minor decisions and do a little minor refereeing, and stresses
out to the point he exacerbates his asthma, starts pumping himself full
of his bronchodialators (which is meant to be used very conservatively
as a rescue med and makes your heart pump like a sonofabitch) and ends
up crumping and having to be carried off by the paramedics after just a
brief time of being acting Boss, ending up being admitted to the
hospital.
Say what you will about Tony, he handles a hell of a lot of stress daily
and makes a lot of important decisions all the while. Yes, he has
started having the panic attacks and suffering from depression, but
remains functional and has carried that stress load for quite a while.
I'm of the opinion that these emotional problems are not from being
Boss, but from a culmination of his life's events thus far, and his
inner conflicts, anyway.
Seems to me that Silvio should and will be relegated to what he does
best--a behind the scenes kinda guy.
