Luciaphil's Idle Thoughts '03 / Re: Idle Thoughts--Fire and Brimstone Episodes 740-743

Hi Luciaphil,
Looking at the snapshots featured in the montages, I got the feeling that Laura's wardrobe change was meant to emphasize for the viewer that her powers--and vital energies--were waning rapidly. Would have been interesting if Loscalzo had switched the pancake job to a more washed out type of look for her makeup.
The scene where Magda reads the cards at Laura's behest is one of my favorites, as it is one of the few times they use the Tarot somewhat accurately on the show. I *have* known this to happen where you re-shuffle the cards and the same card keeps popping out of the deck. Can be maddening when that happens; it's almost as if you can hear the gods chuckling and commenting wryly, "Well, YOU asked the question, sweetie!"
Thanks for this wonderful, witty critique. I just love your writing.
