After today's quote -
Page 25 - Sam: 'Not according to my first three wives, but I'll take it. (as she leaves) Be safe.
- the script explains -
Carolyn puts on her coat and waves at Sam, pushing outside as Maggie flips another card, revealing the skeletal
DEATH CARD.
As she frowns, glancing after Carolyn with worry...- and that's the end of the scene - but certainly not the end of what can be discussed:
It's fascinating to think that this Sam has been married at least three times, probably more. And one can't help but wonder which marriage Maggie is a product of. Did Maggie have a series of stepmothers? Or is Maggie's mother Sam's last wife or possibly even his current wife? Though if Maggie did have a series of stepmothers, what was her relationship like with them, and more importantly, with Sam. Sam's remark doesn't make one believe that, as was the case on the original series, it was mostly Sam and Maggie alone against the world for most of their relationship. Sadly, we'll never know. But depending on how the writers decided to go with all the possibilities, Maggie and Sam's relationship just might have been one of the most interesting on the show had the pilot been picked up...
And getting back to the end of the scene, what might the Tarot's warning portend? Well, you won't have to wait too long for that because you'll have an excellent idea as soon as I finish putting together the latest scenes chart and post it...
