#225 Rules of Prophecy

Hawk on March 1, 2012

This whole time I've been expecting people to ask why Brooke never told Alec about this story. I'll bet some of you wondered why, but until Gillsing mentioned it in the comments last week, nobody has ever brought it up. Did you guys wonder?

It sort of ties in with that quote about people meeting their fate on the road they take to avoid it. Brooke didn't know the exact details of Alec's death, but she wasn't going to risk making the same mistake her father did. So what we got was a seemingly dependent and irrational Brooke, just trying keep Alec alive without telling him.

Those dang rules!

Now I just wonder if having someone else try to prevent a certain death might ensure that it happens. Dead if you do, dead if you don't. Perhaps the usefulness of knowing the future is the ability to prepare for what is certain to happen, not in preventing it from happening?

Telling them their future ensures it. G**-D***, that's some brilliance in how you handle it.

"meet destiny on the road to avoid it". its like a guy who decide to fight against his destiny only to find that his destiny IS to fight against his destiny. what a loop
