Jerry Adler (who played the loanshark Hesh) recalled filming his final scene with James Gandolfini. Afterwards, Gandolfini asked despondently: "I am so tired... will this ever be over?" Doesn't seem like much of a stretch to infer that the character Tony literally killed James.

Also, Edie Falco had almost no personal relationship with Gandolfini. They poured it all into their on-screen relationship, which felt intensely real, but real in a sense that straddled the border between fiction and reality. It's really interesting to hear her describe it.

She says she didn't even know James. She only knew Tony.

It strikes me Matt’s aside about Essex County is prob most revealing about what people found so captivating about the show- it seemed to demonstrate that “realness” of psychological and moral stakes could be found even in North Jersey,even amid ersatz suburban wealth and ugliness

A few people have said this show didn’t age well. I’m not sure I could go back and watch it again like I have others.
