Two of the greatest shows ever created! Love your insights on the less obvious connections that manifest in “Climbing Uphill” and “See, I’m smiling”. Dot and Cathy’s shared experience of the unseen muse reminds me a little of the Margaret Atwood quote, “You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.” Just reminiscent of that internal voice that often tells women being seen at all is greater than the alternative. Anyway! Love this so much! Hopeful for more essays in the future on these shows’ connections

Wow! These analyses you write are so illuminating. Thank you!
Not to mention the four note motif of "See I'm Smiling" is essentially identical to "Putting It Together"...
