I just watched Marco Polo the other night. It is a great episode, a lot better than I'd remembered. The family barbecues are always nice, and the body shop sidestory wasn't bad either (I hadn't realised the "Shah of Iran" nickname went back this far
).

Nice catch indeed. Interestingly enough, later on in the ep, when Tony and Carm are left alone in the pool, Tony says of the sleeping Artie: "he's comatose"...
