Antipas/The Omen

[HighPlainsDrifter]

I was watching the old version of the Omen tonight and saw many parallels of Antipas especially with the nanny and Damien versus Lucy and Divina. Both very nurturing and also having alternative motives. Just wondering if anyone else have the same thoughts

You are absolutely correct Joe. It was clearly Carter and Spotnitz their intention to make a tribute to The Omen. The house, the nanny thing, John Saxum even says at one point: "It's like an Omen". It is the scene where he is standing at the window and phoning to someome I believe. So yeah, Antipas is a tribute to The Omen.

I agree with The Omen references. However, if anything the Omen child is the destructive force behind Saturn Dreaming of Mercury. Should we call SDoM The Omen II? :-)
