Mills on Theme

Alan Sepinwall draws our attention to a David Mills blog entry about Treme, which has some beautiful thoughts about the threading of themes through TV series and a now-poignant image of his empty chair.

"Theme operates at a submerged level in storytelling. You don’t need to be aware of David Milch’s thematic intent to be entertained or moved by an episode of NYPD Blue. But it’s in there. And the experience of the story, I believe, is richer for that."
