I tried to watch the show several years ago, and realized I didn't give a rat's ass about any of the characters at all because I hated each and every one of them so why bother watching? Oh well. Guess I'm not smart enough. And Chase's quote on art not answering but only posing questions is complete and utter horse crap. Good art does both. Obviously the quote of man too afraid to write an ending. Any accalimed dramatic ending that initially makes all the viewers think something is mechanically wrong with their TV is not a success.Bulfinch's Aglaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166994917700169540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-16862495219722011632007-06-13T13:39:00.000-05:002007-06-13T13:39:00.000-05:00But I selected "middle aged woman" for the first q...But I selected "middle aged woman" for the first question...<BR/>But if you can be Matt, Hayley, I suppose Tony can be a middle aged woman too.spacedlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462723005560128474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-88087873747940036832007-06-13T11:07:00.000-05:002007-06-13T11:07:00.000-05:00The only thing I know about that show is that ther...The only thing I know about that show is that there was this guy named Christopher, who had a daughter named Katelyn, and they shot him.Christopher Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805942313835669938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-80448834719150337112007-06-13T09:59:00.000-05:002007-06-13T09:59:00.000-05:00Um.

That’s the hard question to answer. The only thing that I guess I believe is that a lot of what I see on the air and in other places is giving answers, and I don’t think art should give answers. I think art should only pose questions. And art should not fill in blanks for people, or I think that’s what’s called propaganda. I think art should only raise questions, a lot of which may be even dissonant and you don’t even know you’re being asked a question, but that it creates some kind of tension inside you."<BR/><BR/>Novels end all the time the way that series did, they have for done decades. The Sopranos had a novel's depth, which was one of the many things that made it so great. <BR/><BR/>Here's another thought: nearly everything in film and TV (especially American products) gives us pat resolutions, happy endings and (that dreadful word) "closure". Hundreds of stories every year, all doing the same kind of thing. Isn't there room for just one to try and break the mould? Be different? Wasn't that what the Sopranos was about in the first place? As M John Harrison says, there are no "story arcs" in life; shit happens, then you die. No closure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-60362794262682304102007-06-13T05:22:00.000-05:002007-06-13T05:22:00.000-05:00Am I the only one who cannot get Dooon't stop...
