Because the personal is cultural

Seven Seasons

4/8/2015

I don’t care about your professional dramas. I’m not interested in your fantasy of a job. I’m not interested in finding out how you’re going to solve a crime with methods that don’t exist. I’m interested in the fantasy of human relationships. I want to believe in reciprocity. I want to believe that we’re going to get together in the last season.

Unfortunately, my life has already lasted more than seven seasons. Everyone agrees that my life used to be much better in its earlier years, that we should have quit years ago, that – as the only original member of the cast left – I really should move on. I’m just waiting for you to return so the show can end the way it’s supposed to end. Then we’ll pull the plug. That’s how you get happily ever after.
