'Something Wicked' Musings

[ithildin]

Watching Something Wicked, and it occured to me to wonder -- did the Holy Hot Tub reverse Mac back to a 'blank slate'? Was the fire bomber guy that much worse than Kronos? Not that anything about Dark Quickenings makes all that much sense, but a random thought.

Richie asking if the teacher kills the pupil was bittersweet. [sigh]

Oh, and the fire bomber guy when he was doing his beatnik poet thing about Death. Hah! Don't know why I never made that connection in my brain before.

On Light Quickenings...

My take on it is that the "Ancient Immortal at the Gates of Paris" was a truly enlightened man. When Darius took his head, he was able to see his own life from a completely different perspective. It made him regret the choices he had made, and choose a new path.

I've been thinking about this while writing Joe's response to the DQ in my new story, "The Secret War." Of course, my OMC Jean-Pierre has a much more lyrical way of putting it!

Err, ooops. I didn't do a very good job of getting back to it, did I?

I very much like your take on it. I'm glad you got back to it even if I didn't :)
