He is one of the scariest characters too. Because he does everything so quiet. And how he only blows up when he's losing at something. Like at cards, or during the soccer game. When he has to kill someone, or blow up a restaraunt, he is ice cold. That is terrifying.

But the best single show I've seen is Little Steven (Van Zandt) and the Disciples of Soul about seven years ago. The theater was a quarter-to-half full, and many of us got free tickets, but he played like it was sold out.

Nice comprehensive analysis. Syl’s an old fashioned mobster in the mode of Neil Dellacroce, good at overseeing the traditional blue collar rackets, but not an earner on the level of Ralph or having the vision for something like Webistics. He’s also shrewd in withholding his opinions until others have spoken, as in the matter of Vito’s adverse pharmaceutical reaction. What an encore career for Little Steven.

What a lot of people seem to miss when describing Silvio as a "cartoonish" caricature, is that Van Zandt actually played Silvio a lot more subdued in the first season & really only started being more exaggerated/animated in the following seasons.

My favorite character analysis you've done in a while!

Chase being a huge music fan and a drummer loved Van Zandt’s music, as he said in a commentary for the episode where ‘Precious’ by The Pretenders is playing (like most used likely his choice), ‘I queued up to buy that album on the day it came out……I wasn’t a kid, I was 32 years old’. So that might have been an influence in getting Van Zander, with the meta touch of one of his tracks (as a favorite of Gloria as she writhes on top on Tony), playing with the volume turned up by her.

This is easily one of your best essays. Your insights into Silvio's strengths and weakness demonstrate incredible attention to detail. I've already watched the whole show twice. The observation where you point out Silvio's ability to be both vague and direct, saying exactly what he needs to say to every situation is the type of thing that gets me longing for a third pass at the show. I never considered that in the conversation between Tony and Sil after the floor tile fiasco, Sil made it clear that passing over Patsy was a bad move. You really have the gift of analyzing literature.

Excellent analysis of my favorite character of The Sopranos. Personally, I like the fact that Silvio is an enigma, I like that there's a little mystique surrounding his character and it suits what his position in the family is, too. The consigliere position is one that is a little mysterious and shadowy since their job is to advise the boss and administration of the family and to keep their ear to the ground as far as what's happening on the street with different factions and families. It's also not uncommon for them to have strong ties to the legitimate world as well as be the liaison with other families.

Idk of its cuz im drunk but this vid is extra fascinating bc its so tru watching it 4 times thru w lots of youtube compilations n ig accounts between n i love it keep it up

Level headed (unless he placing bets)

Love it!🎉

When he moved to Norway, whatever happened there.

According to some sources, the Consiglieri is a sort of labourers' representative who is elected by the soldiers, not appointed by the Boss. Obviously, that might have changed during different eras of the mob and may only be true for some families, but it's an interesting idea when looking at Sil, especially looking at the floor tiles incident.

His position was perfect. You really needed something done, by most trusted, that's the man

Best character

You are so funny! I wish your videos were longer.

The scene of him paying of Irena is gold too

I think it's pretty funny when one killer says to another killer, "You have a problem with authority." I always figured mobsters admired authority figures!

Yea I think it's a great point, the reason he's the most underdeveloped character in the mob is exactly so we see him as the best succesor for Don. We haven't gotten the chance to see any flaws, but also we've seen enough of him to the point were we can start saying, maybe he just don't got that many, or any.
