    I like how Silvio unlike all the other characters knows his strengths and weaknesses. He knows outright he’s not boss material, but he can advise, he’s got good strategy, and generally tries to keep the peace as much as he possibly can. Extremely self aware.

      I feel like the main reason Sil stepped up was because there wasn't anyone else even remotely capable of doing the job. Bobby doesn't have the experience, Paulie's a hotheaded dumbass, Vito's greedy, Chris just shouldn't be anything other than a made enforcer, there really weren't even any other options

"The American Gangster Union" shop stewart type of personality imo, next to being a focused hardened killer as one of his occupational skills too...
      I sense also, that he dont have the back stabbing drive, that some underbosses have to remove fat tony covertly, without the rest of tonys crew & the NY's bosses knowledge, just to simply take over that jersey op, that was tonys. or lets say a silent coup on tonys jersey control by silvio, unless tony really had a & unexpected death sentence by hands other than silvio, but silvios seems very loyal to tony & they're money making jersey ops, & seems to work great together as team managers imo. ☝️😎

      You think if his wife knew he’d killed people that she’d still be supportive? And you think that’s admirable? You’re literally insane.
      In this scene, he flat out says, “I NEVER TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY WORK”. She has NO IDEA what he does. She has no idea he’s a violent sociopath. If she did, she’d either be conflicted, she’d leave, or she’d stay and be in denial. Just like Carmela, whom you hate so much. 🙄

    Silvio was a truly unique individual in the game.

    In his short time, he proved to be a good boss with moments like calmly saying 'my time is limited' he's effective and straight to the point. Sadly, he couldn't handle the stress but to be fair, he never wanted it. Look how unhappy Tony is, Sil was always very calm, he just wanted to earn a good living, have some fun and raise a family. Being boss was a level of stress that he didn't want nor need, in fact he was usually just sat there calmly gluing broken things together or eating a snack watching TV awhile the other guys argued.

Not to mention Bobby doesn't compare to vito and his money making deals ..so fuck Bobby ..I would've given it to Vito and no '20% to fat bobby either !
