Spur of the Moment


In this episode an older Anne tries to catch up to her younger Anne to stop the younger Anne from making a mistake that will ruin her life. But in doing the older Anne yells like a crazed Banshee and races toward the young Anne, causing the young Anne to flee in fear and never receive the message. Perhaps this is allegory, or symbolism.. who knows... But it just seems that screaming like a wild woman was not a smart way to get the message across....

Nope, not a smart way. She was so desperate to catch up with her younger self. When I first saw this episode, it stayed on my mind for days, which was just more than a few years ago. I try my hardest to make the best decisions in my day-to-day life. Do not want to be full regret and depression.

Worse, didn't she also say that she saw her younger self "again" (IOW, more than once)? That would seem to indicate that she had more than one opportunity to set her younger self straight yet learned nothing from the earlier failed attempt(s).

But yes, wearing all black, a cape, and shrieking at her younger self was probably the worse way to approach her younger self.
