Current Talk '03 II / Re:How Did Angelique Get Her Powers?
« on: November 05, 2003, 06:27:50 PM »I did wonder if anyone knew this: although Miranda was clearly part of Judah's coven, was it stated for sure that she had any supernatural powers in 1692? If there wasn't any reincarnation, maybe Miranda spent 100 years acquiring powers and/or selling her soul.
Yes, it was. Since the following dialogue hasn't yet aired during the current run, it's enclosed in spoiler space.
#1196
[spoiler]GERARD/JUDAH: I gave you powers. I gave you powers, my dear, when I first met you. You were so young and a sweet girl and I taught you everything.
VALERIE/MIRANDA: But I've learned more since.
GERARD/JUDAH: I don't think so...
later...
GERARD/JUDAH: I, Judah Zachery, take away the powers I once bestowed upon you and return you to the human state from whence you came. Let it be done![/spoiler]
#1197
[spoiler]VALERIE to JUDAH: You bewitched me and I remained a witch until last night when you took away the powers that you had given me.[/spoiler]
I completely agree with wes that reincarnation is a recurrent theme on DS, and with wes and others that this theory would make sense, especially in light of previous references. But there was no mention made of reincarnation in regard to Valerie/Miranda-- it was never stated-- and I feel that the writers never even intimated it. And the dialogue in ep. #1173, when Valerie tells Julia about her life as Miranda, and in #1197, when Valerie tells Judge Vail that she knew Judah Zachery intimately, lead me to believe that what was being potrayed was an Angelique that had a continuous existence between 1692 and 1840. And THAT, along with the fact that she would even be on Earth in 1840, chucks Angelique's previous history right out the [tower room] window.

I guess it's totally up for grabs at this point! :-
Yeah, lucky for us!
