[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we talk about the opening sequence of each episode?? Until the finale, I assumed the young red- headed girl was Grace as a little girl and then they show her in her wedding dress when she married Jonathon. But NOOO... the little girl was Jonathan’s 4 year old sister who died, and he purposely married Grace because she looked like his dead sister with the wavy red hair! What a sociopath!!! [/quote]

That would seem to argue against his being a sociopath, wouldn’t it? If he’s haunted by the specter of this child and looks for her in a mate? Sociopaths don’t carry any emotional baggage. You can’t have it both ways.[/quote]

Good point. But what other explanation is there?[/quote]

Total coincidence.  We redheads do exist!  [/quote]

Wouldn’t the obvious explanation be that the little girl simply represents Nicole Kidman as a child?[/quote]
Especially with Nicole Kidman singing the track over the intro.  [/quote]
Rancid? I don't know what you mean by that. But I thought the intro did it's job well: the beautiful little girl and Nicole Kidman singing ... you just know you're being set up.

The whole intro was so rancid that I skipped over it every time, after watching it once in dumb horror.[/quote][/quote]

It was completely vapid and nonsensical, and the song was terrible.[/quote]

It wasn’t nonsensical if you watch the entire series and then watch the intro.[/quote]

I think that it would be slightly better if you could watch the ending after the show and get a clearer idea what the ending meant.  It was still unclear.[/quote]

Ok, I’ve watched the entire series and still don’t understand how the opening song relates at all to the story.  I know it’s a cover of a Mamas and Papas song (which I love) but not seeing any connection between the lyrics and images of a (presumably) young Grace, and the plot.  Maybe there’s not supposed to be any connection.  It just... is.  [/quote]
