“The same thing will happen in China that happened in Chile. Political freedom will ultimately break out of its shackles. Tiananmen Square was only the first episode. It is headed for a series of Tiananmen Squares. It cannot continue to develop privately and at the same time maintain its authoritarian character politically. It is headed for a clash.

“You watched and you saw what happened and in the accumulation of episodes you saw the pattern: Daddy ruled the roost, called the shots, made the money, made the decisions, so you signed up on his side, and fifteen years later when the women's movement came along with its incendiary manifestos telling you to avoid marriage and motherhood, it was as if somebody put a match to a pile of dry kindling.” IfsYearsMadeSidesDecisionSawsHappenedMovementShotsPatternsMotherhoodDryEpisodesFifteenDaddyAccumulationFifteen YearsManifestosKindlingRoost Book:Motherhood Deferred: A Woman's Journey Source: Motherhood Deferred: A Woman's Journey
“One of the problems with episodic television of any color is that everything has got to be okay at the end of the episode so it can start again next week. So the events that occur are rarely life-changing.

“The great thing about having a serialized drama (like 'Sons of Anarchy') is that I'm allowed to bring up events and circumstances that have happened in the past in other episodes to show that this kind of violence doesn't happen in a vacuum. It has ramifications. It has repercussions. Whether it's a week from now or five years from now, you know it will play out. Nothing is ever tied up into a perfect knot.” KnowsYearsKindPlayShowsHappensPastPerfectFiveViolenceHappenedWeekEventsSonCircumstancesDramaGreat ThingsFive YearsAnarchyTiedEpisodesVacuumsKnotsRepercussionsTied UpRamifications Author:Kurt Sutter
