WELCOME TO TATE'S DRIVE THRU!!!

[Annie]

Hello, gang i just loved today's show when
Julia wen to pay a visit to  Tate's house!!
The loud speaker reminded me of a drive thru
at local fast food places like Wendy's or
MCDonalds!!!!   But in a nut shell this would
have to be a fast Portrait place instead!!!
May i take your order Mamam???
             Love Anne
( Anne wishes it was The Q-man inside that
 Manison)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this whole Tate with the loudspeaker thing rather silly to say the least.  What was all that suppose to be?  Was he trying to scare away any unwanted guests who may decide to pay him a visit or has he simply lost his mind?

I kind of opt for the latter.

I felt sorry for poor Mr. Tate, to be so bitter for so very long,
I could tell that was not his happy laugh... could it be he is not pleased he has lived so long? or could it be he knows Quentin has lived just as long and may just be living with Amanda the woman he "Tate" loved first.

I opt for Tate having lost what's left of his mind! I have to say I thought it was a 'hoot' on yesterday's(?) montage to open the board with Tate's laughter!!!

I've always wondered what adventures CDT got into between 1897 and 1970.  There was a period (most have been recent) where he did nothing but landscapes which were not much in demand I gather. Did he paint some portraits in between those years???

This is where i get confused about CDT's lifetime. . wasn't he just pulled into the future during one of Petofi's experiments with the I-Ching?  I didnt see the episods 'cuz of NYC nada-SCIFI land that  I live in. . .but that's what i inferred from some of the posts??

I kept picturing Julia, trying to listen to the crackling noise coming out of that thing, that intense look on her face as she leans over, and having to say afterwards:  "What?"
"Go...crackle...crackle...way!"
"What?"
"G...crackle...crackle...ay!"
"It's a nice day?"
"No!  Go...crackle...crackle...way!"
"I should stay?"
"Can't you...crackle...crackle...said...crackle...crackle...ay!"
"You're gay?"
"Son of ...crackle...crackle...itch!  Jus...crackle...crackle...co...crackle...crackle...side already!"

When the Count Petofi had Charles Tate go check out the future for him it was just a kind of experiment so Petofi could make sure that he himself was in no kind of danger and couldn't be harmed from getting the wrong hexagram.  So he used Tate as a guiena pig as he also did with alot of others, such as Beth, etc.

However, Tate was lucky enough to have found the right hexagram to go to the future and came back to tell Petofi so.  But he Tate never stayed there. His spirit returned to his body right after this.

ROTFL!!! Gerard!

I too thought the whole thing looked kind of silly!  Like someone had mentioned here it reminds me of The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz.

You might be right about him being pulled into the future by one of Petofi's experiements with the I-Ching.  Since the only thing we find of Petofi at the end of 1897 are his eyeglasses on the ground, he may have escaped somehow with Tate's help. The thing that bothers me about the idea of him being pulled immediately into 1970, is that he had the face of a young man in 1897 but had aged as would be expected by number of years between then and 1970.

That would be an awful price to have paid for helping Petofi. That's why I thought he had actually lived through those years and they had been pretty tough on him.

i tend to agree that he lived all those years as a recluse
pining away for poor Amanda! Ick no wonder he's crazed!

Of course, Tate coulda just gotten out his crayons and whipped up another Amanda (and all sortsa other stuff, like money, a mansion, a personality, etc.) at anytime.  Why he never did, we do not know.  But we've discussed that already.
