Fate's Huge Hand
Fate has a way of repeatedly reaching into Dr. Richard Kimble's
amazing life. At the start of Kimble's epic adventure, its huge
inscrutible hand intervenes even while he is en route to the
deathhouse, lifting the train he is riding right off its tracks as if
it were merely a cheap miniature model. And throughout Dr. Kimble's
years on the run, certain fateful constellations of events keep
recurring. For instance, he always seems to be helping children
wherever he goes; perhaps he's been a pediatrician for so long that it
comes to him as second nature. And he's frequently forced to overcome
debilitating physical ailments, such as amnesia,
blindness and
gunshot wounds, even while
engaged in his life-or-death struggle with his relentless pursuer,
Lieutenant Gerard. Gerard in fact shows he is not entirely unaware of
these ``patterns'' in the episode THE
2130, when he endeavors to use then-state-of-the-art
computer technology to plot Kimble's movements. Here are a few more of
the motifs that Kimble seems fated to run into over and over
again . . .
