The halls of justice! Nora's complete meltdown and amazing closing arguments.
I can't say enough about what HBS does here. And Roger, right away, digs in with both claws...amazing scene and build up.....THESE OLTL writers knew how to tell a story. Nora even uses Todd's line - "lying slut." She's SO great here!! I think this might be my favorite Nora scene of all time. Ever.
Details. The old lady on the jury covers her face when Nora says "close your eyes." Marty is in tears watching Nora "testify" FOR HER. Luna (ok..ok) is almosst visibly shaking watching Nora break apart. Todd stands up and makes things worse, yet again, by showing himself. Nora, actually looks like she doesn't know what she's doing when Todd screams out and asks! Rachel breaks down crying.....Hank is glaring.....Todd continues, against the admonishment of the judge! Suede does not look like a poopy baby this time, he looks like a pacifier baby - you know, the face they make right before the pacifier goes in? Bo looks proud of her, it's subtle, but there. Judge Fitz looks like she is going to just break that mallet!!! "Maybe if I keep banging it, Ms. Gannon will snap out of it." Oh wow, scenes like this don't exist anymore....at all, for a multitude of reasons. The biggest of these is the lack of quality actors and writing.
The moment of the mistrial....wow. Love it....the reporters racing to a payphone - now that's a scene you'll never see today! LOL! Nora's about to collapse, and the look she gives Hank....! Fitzy is looking like she might hurt someone, she practically throws her mallet down and sort of loses control when she screams that last ORDER!
Another threat from Todd. He's so much the nasty evil one here, just gotta love him. It's obvious why people were drawn to him! The look on his face is pure hate. And we know he won't be letting go of that soon.
I love how Hank knows the deal with Nora, "she tried to do right by you, Marty." That just about sums it up.
FAIL: Fail? In this one? I don't know, maybe Suede's expressions, but other than that, nothing. I can't see a fail where there is so much winning!
Sound off!
