fanspiredFor the time being, I'll continue posting these recaps at Live Journal because the posting process is easier there. Please find links to my latest recap below. If Live Journal does go down in the near future I'll recreate the original posts here.
"Sam remembers the Coptic cross from the service and finds the same symbol on an old tarot card. This is the first reference to Tarot in the series; it won’t be the last. It’s always intrigued me that there are 22 Major Acana cards in Tarot, which just happens to be the number of episodes in the season. I can’t help wondering if any effort was made to match episodes to certain cards. I can see a few possible correlations: this episode, for example, is an obvious match for Death; I suggested last episode might be referencing the Hanged Man; and the finale would, of course, allude to the Devil. Alternatively (or, possibly, additionally) key characters in the series might relate to Tarot characters. For example, I’ve always associated Bobby with the Hierophant. I have a few other ideas but if there are any Tarot practitioners out there, I’d love to hear any thoughts you might have on the subject."
