Kittys fate

Reincarnation knows no gender boundaries...

Oh boy.  What would Barnabas have done if Willie, Roger, or even Harry Johnson had turned out to be the reincarnation of his beloved Josette?

On a somewhat related note, speaking of gender, I've been watching the Adam/Eve storyline, just prior to Eve's creation, when they seem to be auditioning every female for the role of "life force." I could see someone having a field day with what the need for a female "life force" donor says about how the series perceives sex and gender.

What would've happened if they had opted for a male life force for Eve? Better yet, what if Adam had volunteered his own "life force" in much the same way the biblical Adam's rib became the source for Eve?

I have to find interesting questions to ponder since the episodes are so very boring. 

And Barnabas is forced to keep saying "Harry Johnson"!   

What would've happened if they had opted for a male life force for Eve?

Honestly, can anyone look at pictures of Leona Eltridge ...

I had completely forgotten about that. (My brain's been a little fried lately.)

I don't really see the problem that some seem to be having with Kitty being the reincarnation of Josette. Reincarnation doesn't meant that a duplicate of the same person is made. Like Magnus said, reincarnation knows no bounds. So, I could be reincarnated as a poor, black, asian, arab, or otherwise non-white person who has no friends and does drugs. That would be a COMPLETLY TURN AROUND from what I am now, and my soul would still be the same.

Reincarnation, to me, means that a soul is created by God, or whomever you wish to believe is upstairs, and sent to earth to live a life. The body they inhabit dies, and they return to heaven (or whatever you percieve to be up there) and then after a while the spirit or soul, whichever you wish to call it, returns to another Earth-bound body and lives out another, completely separate and probably completely different life. The soul, during the transfer, doesn't retain the memories of it's previous lives consciously. The memories are there, make no mistake, but it's not stored in the same place where you store a memory of what you had for breakfast yesterday morning.

So, it's completely logical to me that Josette's soul could re-enter this world in Kitty's body, and she would have no memory whatsoever of who she was before, or that she even lived before, and be leading a completely separate life that just-so-happened to crossover one point, Collinwood, same as the life before.

As for Kitty's dissimilarity to Josette... we aren't supposed to be reincarnated with an identical personality.    It would be a bit of a coincidence if her personality was all that similar.

So, if reincarnation wasn't supposed to make Kitty particularly like Josette, why was Barnabas overjoyed that he had found the reincarnation of Josette?

Well, closer to the bull's-eye than Maggie Evans or VW, I guess.    BC wanted to reawaken the old personality.

Oh boy.  What would Barnabas have done if Willie, Roger, or even Harry Johnson had turned out to be the reincarnation of his beloved Josette?

     I know what Barnabas would do if it were Harry Johnson

The image of Harry done up in Josette's wedding dress would be enough to make almost anyone

 

Almost?   It's amazing that a keyboard can still work with so much puke on it....

Well, regardless of how ugly a woman Harry might make, there would certainly be some people who'd get off on it/him. Appeal is, after all, very much in the eye of the beholder.

Of course.   And there's no one who can't be improved by adopting a cooler and more appropriate look.   I'd tell him to try shaving his head, but I'm wacky.    "It"....!!

All I can picture is Barnabas entering Josette's room, finding Harry standing there under his spell wearing Josette's wedding gown asking:  "Does this make me look fat?"

Where's CastleBee when now could be the perfect opportunity for her to possibly use her talents to photoshop us what would surely be another one of her hilarious graphics?

Thanks for giving me my morning chuckle! 

Just to stir things up a bit, when Tate painted that Blackmore guy who was in charge of the prison that Aristede escaped from, he came to life with memories and personality intact.  Yet when he painted Amanda, she came to life not knowing who she was, and with some sort of "psychic link" or whatever to Josette.  It's not really logically consistent - on the one hand he brings people back to life, while on the other hand he creates reincarnations.
