In some references, a wizard or witch can "see" through his familiar's eyes. Also, sometimes familiars can change form (i.e. owl to human?) Also note, in case you forgot, Mike and BOB say, "the magician longs to see..." -- i.e. Mike and BOB are/were magicians or sorcerors? > >2) One of the first scenes in the first episode is of Josie - after > >seeing it again, didn`t anyone think that her behaviour was a little > >strange, especially since we hear about the BOB/Josie link? I have thought that this was strange for quite some time now. Before last fall, I thought that the song Josie hummed at the start of the pilot was possibly "the Nightingale" which was found playing in Jacques cabin-- suggesting that she at least *knew* something about Laura's death. > >Finally, can someone tell me what exactly are "dunkin doughnuts", and > >where can I get then in the UK? Geez... Dunkin Doughnuts are made fresh every day-- they'd be kind of stale if I mailed them to you. They're just a brand of doughnuts by the way. Also: from a reply to this: |>But then who does Bob serve? Obviously, since Mike told us that BOB was his familiar-- he used to serve Mike. Rocky
