David's idea of burning the dolls was a good one, I thought, and the fact that it didn't work is disquieting to say the least. I'm thinking about predestination, and about Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God, which was Jonathan Edwards's famous sermon, and about David and Hallie being puppets in the hands of Gerard, Daphne, Tad, and Carrie. Have the fearsome foursome no pity? Maybe they feel predestination at work, or maybe they're thinking, "It's us or them, and why should it be them instead of us?"
Gosh, I love seeing Donna Wandrey as this Roxanne who is so different from parallel time Roxanne - so much more alive. And, of course, so much meaner. But if the children die before the end of the year, Elizabeth will no longer trust Sebastian, and no longer give him money - or will Sebastian persuade her that the future was always variable? But if the future's variable, there's no point in handing out money to get one's horoscope done. Incidentally, I got the impression from the conversation between Stokes and Sebastian that the ability to do horoscopes was a gift, whereas my understanding is that doing horoscopes is simply a matter of putting the information together. But maybe there's a gift to being able to coordinate all the information into a harmonious whole.
