Current Talk '06 II / Re: Petofi's Hand
« on: October 06, 2006, 06:00:00 AM »
I feel obligated to keep a thread with the fine name of "Petofi's Hand" going for as long as possible.
Man, did I want another glimpse of that disgusting, horrific appendage with that nasty graphic bone sticking out the end of it, for all the 32 years between the original viewing and the purchase of my tapes. Isn't it strange what we can develop a desire for?
I was very thrown by the fact that events turned out to be different than in my memories of DS. I was certain that Petofi figured into "present-day" Collinwood. I had a flash of memory of people seated around a table in Collinwood (though I now realize I couldn't tell as a child whether things were happening there or in the Old House), discussing repeatedly how they had to be deathly afraid of Petofi finding his way to the Hand, because then he would acquire power over All, and the world was doomed. I thought this was his second coming, sorry about the metaphor, and that we met him in the past, then the present.
