The Sopranos: The Weight (2002)
Season 4, Episode 4
Margetis Review: The Sopranos, Episode 43 "The Weight"
11 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
In the best episode of the season so far, Johnny Sack is furious! At who? Ralph Cifaretto. Why? Ralph told a joke about his wife's fat ass, and Johnny Sack not only feels it is a mean thing to say, but feels it insults him big time. The episode centrals around Johnny Sack trying to get a hit out on Ralph, and Tony trying to keep Ralph alive because he's a good earner. Carmine says no, so Johnny Sack sanctions the hit by himself, causing Tony to sanction a hit on Johnny Sack. Well, neither Johnny Sack or Ralph get killed, but the whole episode your on the edge of your seat biting your nails. The episode features non-stop crisp dialogue and storytelling, and features a abnormal scene where Christopher and Silvio visit the old hit men that are going to whack Johnny Sack. Overall this is an exciting well-made episode, from writer Terence Winter who brought us last season's Pine Barrens episode. Written by Terence Winter, Directed by Jack Bender. My Rating: 9.5/10.
