John Geddes on “intergenerational inequity”

The portrait painted by the polls

A follow-up to my last post: there are some TV episodes that don’t have an “aftermath” scene, a scene where the pressure is lessened and we get either a light or reflective moment. I’m not talking so much about episodes that end with cliffhangers (in many of these shows, if you break down the structure, there actually is some kind of breather in between the climax and the cliffhanger) as episodes that end with the climactic scene — as soon as the story is resolved, we fade out or freeze-frame.
