    The final Potter film will be truer to the source material than the other films? Pfft. If there is ANY of the books that could use a little pruning, it's the final one. I mean, come on; it's two and a half hours of bitchy teens camping out in drizzly woods.

    @Smeagol92055: "... it's two and a half hours of bitchy teens camping out in drizzly woods."

    I've already seen that once and hated it in "The Blair Witch Project." No need to see it again.

    Ok, I've never actually watched Smallville - SPACE (Canada's SyFy) shows repeats of the current episodes at 6am on Mondays (when I'm usually at the gym.)

    I've gotta ask - does that fellow (Oliver? from the sub-titles) actually OWN a shirt?

    A Supernatural episode titled "My Bloody Valentine." I love that this show and the actors are willing to make fun of themselves.

    @EdificeComplex: I just love this show in general. So far the only thing I have whined about was what they did with the Trickster. I would have liked it better if he had really been Loki.

    @LittleDragon: The whole Loki thing didn't bother me too much. The way they dealt with who he actually was fits with the show's established mythology, I think. So far, IIRC, all the demi-god level characters have been from the Christian mythos. Although if they did open up the show to deities from other religious pantheons, it would allow for some great new story-lines. Potential Season 6???

    @EdificeComplex: I am for any thing that gets us a season 6. The five demi-gods that I can think of are the harvest scary crow, the winter time human eaters, the fan eater, and the trickster. Where do the other four fit into christian mythos? I am not arguing, I just don't know. Can't remember enough of my sunday school.

    Oh, you're right. Scratch what I said in my previous post then. It's been a while since I watched the previous seasons, and I tend to wipe anything with Paris Hilton from my memory. Time to break out the DVD sets again.

    @EdificeComplex: I thought was missing some connections. Semi-photographic memories come in handy when obsessing about a favorite tv show. I would have glazed the PH as well but there were some good Dean/Sam moments. Some may think its sacrilege, but I thought it was great when Gandhi attacks Sam.

    Fun Fact: The Challenger exploded the day before my third birthday and it's the first thing I remember seeing on TV. My mom was so excited and sat me down to watch my first shuttle launch, then it exploded and my mom started to cry, and she still has it recorded on VHS.

    @Makidian: I was home "sick" ("coughing ennui" I believe was my name for it) from school. I went back in to school that afternoon to tell everyone it blew up and in something I really didn't expect, no one believed me. Like, no one at all. It was odd.

    @Makidian: I was in the third grade when it happened. I was sick and my parents took me to Boone Clinic, a military clinic, to have a doctor look at me. A sailor came running into the waiting room yelling how the shuttle exploded. Everyone scurried around like ants to confirm the news. It was weird for me, a little girl, to see grown sailors and marines visibly shaken and some crying of this. It's one of those things you'll never for get.

    @mekki: THey always say that important events are seared into your brain when they happen. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when Princess Diana died and barely knew who she was, my mom cried for that one also.

    And 9/11 was just one of the most surreal days of my life and I live in OH so I had no real attachment to the WTC's but man it shook me. I was listening to Bob and Tom on my way to class and it was right after Freshman year started in college and I thought it was a joke until it was on every station known to man. The second I walked in the door I looked at the TV, I saw the second plane hit. Everyone was just standing there in complete shock and they didn't even bother having class for a couple of days after. By that evening it was just chaos everywhere even in my little podunk town I was living in at the time. Then I went to Dayton to get highs and watch a city delve into chaos because I am weird like that.

    @Makidian: On 9/10/01, I stayed up all night cleaning my room so that plumbers could come over and replace some pipe. I was way too tired to go to school in the morning. Turns out I didn't exactly have to...

    I actually turned on the news RIGHT as the second tower got hit.

    @Arsnof: I missed the whole thing b/c I had gotten home about midnight on 9/10, off a plane. So I was asleep till Mom called hours after it happened.

    The odd thing is, when I made that plane reservation, I almost made it for the afternoon of 9/11 (Tuesday), which was my normal pattern. But for some reason I strongly felt I should get home on the 10th. Thank goodness I did, I'd have been stuck there.

    The shuttle, I was asleep and I got a call from a friend on the other side of the country b/c I was the only one she knew wouldn't be at school or work (I didn't have school that day).

    So, the message is: live on the West Coast and sleep late, you'll miss the traumas.
