Marie knew he couldn't go on without her and she was just trying to do him a favor and make the end easier on him. Of course, she really meant THE END, but still. Now, you've got me thinking about Samantha's Darrin. All of a sudden he became someone else that I didn't like very much. Whatever did happen to the original Darrin? Was he possibly Marie's first love?Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-69992132631770357522011-03-09T00:31:38.609-06:002011-03-09T00:31:38.609-06:00I do so love a faithful, gentle woman who knows wh...I do so love a faithful, gentle woman who knows what her man wants and, more importantly, what he <i>needs</i>. Even when that need is a soft and cozy death to take away the pain. I glad to see such a sweet soul in the lexicon of horror we call noir. Say, wasn't Samantha's first husband on Bewitched named Darrin? I often wondered what happened to him . . . and now maybe I know. Sweetly savage, Joyce.

If you're going to do something, then really do it. That's Marie's philosophy. It's go the extreme or nothing, and in this case, 'nothing' just wouldn't do!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-2584999766175169822011-03-03T00:48:38.024-06:002011-03-03T00:48:38.024-06:00Richard, So glad you enjoyed this.

Almost as if the reader was outside himself looking in and slowly realizing the horrific and hopeless situation he was in. I love when that works.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-34294544832914221752011-03-03T00:46:13.536-06:002011-03-03T00:46:13.536-06:00Hi Beach, Glad you enjoyed it.
