In yesterday's post I identified the actor Bernie Kopell with 1960s situation comedies "That Girl," "Bewitched," and "Get Smart." I should have included the '70s-'80s TV show, "The Love Boat." Probably more people remember him from that....
Today I was thinking about the dream sequences in The Sopranos. They are the only component of that show that I don't "get." I never understand them, what they are supposed to be revealing, or representing. What is the character working through, with that dream sequence?
When there's a dream sequence, I just wait for it to be over so that the show can continue.
If I could, and someone let me, I would remove every dream sequence from The Sopranos. It's a great show, but dream-sequence removal would make it perfect, in my view.
Then I go on You Tube, watch some Sopranos clips and read the comments underneath, and there are many people commenting that the dream sequences are terrific, and meaningful.
What am I missing??
I just don't see it, but you can't understand everything that some other people do understand.
And "visa - versa."
