The Sopranos has always been less of a show about the mob and more of a show about family and the way the mob affects it. This episode is (currently) the finest example of this. I wanted to send a friend a scene from this (nintendo and hot dogs) but I realized that the 8 lines Tony and Anthony shared contained episodes of nuance that I couldn't fully explain in an a message. It's one of the most fascinating episodes about hierarchy that we have seen, it's all about control, rebellion against the control, and the multitude of external forces affecting the way each character acts. It's one of the most human and realized episode of the series, and it's great to finally see something like this after the last two episodes of trying to restart the season's direction.
