The Witches' omnipotence and areas they didn't delve into

[Frump]

Just curious about what some of you fans think about areas they didn't delve into.

1. Do you think the Witches on the show could bring people back from the dead or prevent people from dying?

I was just thinking, according to what we know about the witches, Darrin will probably die LONG LONG before Samantha, leaving her a widow at a very early age, that is the drawback for a witch or warlock marrying a mortal, she or he will lose her or his wife or hudband at a very early age *to the witch*.

So I wonder if Samantha could lengthen Darrins life and prevent him from dying, at lease so soon.



2. Do you think the Witches could have made it a PERFECT world? Like fed all the starving children, helped all the poor, came up with cures for the deadly diseases like cancer and things like that, and stopped all crime.

Ok I'm guessing SOMEHOW all this would have been against "witch ethics" b/c usually anything that sounds too good is "unethical by someone's standards, though I don't see why it would be.

They addressed some of these issues in the book Bewitched Forever. The show was made at the time of the Vietnam War, and some people (thinking Elizabeth Montgomery herself had supernatural powers) would ask "Samantha" on the street that because she was a magic lady, could she please stop the war?

I know that the issue of mind-reading was brought up, and it was said that the witches wouldn't invade people's privacy, or something like that.
