RIP to “Hesh” actor Jerry Adler who died yesterday at age 96. As Tony’s mother Livia once said of Hesh, “A Jew with horses! Ridiculous.”

Coincidentally, I saw a YouTube discussion today with forensic body-language experts talking about the “tells” when someone is pretending to cry, and it made me think again about the authenticity of Edie Falco’s performance here. Faking hysterical tears, someone “pushes out” their sobs. Real hysterical sobs display the reverse: trying to pull air in, gasp for air, “because the inside is so compressed by grief that it’s difficult to breathe.” With fake sobs, there’s movement in the shoulders. With real, gasping sobs, the abdomen is bent and unbent, like spasms. Edie Falco manages all of that in the scene where Carmela first confronts Tony in this episode. It’s like her body won’t let her stop crying. That’s real.
Whatever she drew on to play these scenes, it’s painful to watch. She seems not “mad,” but broken. Shattered.

Annd were done!!! An even better reaction than I expected Sir!! And now comes Season 5. It just gets better from here IMO. So many questions raised in this one for next season. I do want to mention a "request/idea" for the Series Finale now , so there is plenty of time to see if it would work. I , (and others I am sure) would love it if there was a way to watch the Final Episode Live with you Sir. I don't know enough about setting up live streams etc , but I know it would be a blast!! As always , stellar reaction Sir! Can's wait for Weekend Movie Drops! Peace " I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH! "
