"Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request" Review and Observations
Tony Soprano's "kinder, gentler" mob kingpin change lasts about three days.
After seeing the reaction of fellow made men ridicule a crying Johnny Sack after the feds ruined his daughter's wedding, Tony's understanding turns to fear. He fears his new found compassion--that there's "enough garbage for everyone" to understanding the emotions Sack felt at his daughter's wedding--must give way to others again fearing him.
His gambit is to engage his very young, very buff, and very strong new body guard/driver in an unprovoked brawl that Tony wins. If Tony can lick the brawny kid, who will mess with him?
But Tony's loss of compassion and resort to fear takes a toll on his injury riddled body--and soul.
Meanwhile, Vito looks like he might be eating something but it ain't that guy's salami from the construction site from last season. Like Tony, Vito too leads a double life that is taking a psychic toll on him. As we are learning, there is only one way out of this "family."
Meanwhile, Uncle Mummyhead ends up in the booby hatch. In a rare lucid moment, he understands that he's in a fix. He cannot fathom that he shot Tony. In this family, one's problems always get buried--some more deeply than others.
