#Mog meaning sopranos series#
What is beautiful about the series as a whole is that there were so many artistic flourishes that would be fun to digest and discuss, like this.
I believe sometimes something was there, but many times it was something maybe being reached for. I believe it was on the complete series box set where the writers talked about how they would be amused with how deeply people could deleve into things like that to find hidden meanings. There are parts that you mentioned that can be tied to life and death ("the Final Scene"), but you really have to stretch to get there. Like you mentioned, most of it is really incomprehensible. To sit down and kind of analyze it's components is interesting, but I don't really think there's much of anything really tangible to digest. But I think it's purpose was more of setting an eerie tone for the beginning of the last season, and to kind of unsettle the audience. It's really one of my favorite moments on the show. I don't believe that they just put it in on a whim and it literally served no purpose. To answer your first question, about "The Seven Souls" and it's meaning, I agree and disagree about your take. Johnnyboy, I think the points you bring up are very thoughtful, and I've heard really cool, compelling arguments similar to what you're saying about the finale or final scene, and how it could tie in to other moments in the show. Actually, they're looking for Junior's hidden stash. Mobsters usually dig holes to bury victims’ remains.
Now, are you seriously suggesting that Chase included the 'Seven Souls' rendition in the very first episode of Season/Series 6 for no good reason?Īnd are you seriously suggesting that there is no significance in the fact that Chase directed only two episodes - the very first, and the very last?Īlso, while I wouldn't profess to understand the whole significance of the references to the other souls, consider this:Īs Burroughs says 'remains', we see Tony digging a hole in Junior's Garden. He directs the film of your life from conception to death." "Top soul, and the first to leave at the moment of death, is Ren, the Secret Name. My point was that the rendition of the 'Seven Souls' is about death. But that wasn't my point (although if Tony didn’t hear it, the outcome would surely have been the same). You're obviously correct about the BB quote. When you die, that's where Ren came in.”ĭavid Chase directed only two episodes – the pilot and the finale (where inordinate attention is paid to the guy in the ‘Members Only’ jacket). The Secret Name is the title of your film. He directs the film of your life from conception to death. “Top soul, and the first to leave at the moment of death, is Ren, the Secret Name. Some people still won't accept that Chase killed him off.Īt the beginning of Episode 1 of Season/Series 6 (Members Only), there is a rendition - by William S.
