(the whole scene with the wet suits was hysterical)Brain science no... deep story telling of SN, no... but still a damn decent show to watch on Tuesday nights.

I do see the comparisons to Buffy, especially early Buffy and while it does lack the special thing that made Buffy, well Buffy (that beingJoss Whedon) it still picks up on the possible legacy. I just really really hope the CW gives it a chance.

But fear not... nothing will take SN's place in my heart, or Buffy for that matter.

Fandom Rocks: http://www.fandom-rocks.com/

from their website:

"Fandom Rocks is a fan-run initiative to raise funds and awareness for charities around the globe. Inspired by similar campaigns in the Firefly, Buffy, Angel, and Veronica Mars fandoms and brought together by the CW's Supernatural, fans of the CW show are asking you to join them in supporting the charities of the season.

The charities are selected by the fans, and every six months two new charities receive the donations collected on Fandom Rocks.

Fans are very excited at the prospect of working together to give to these causes. We hope you will join us. ...

The charities for the second campaign at Fandom Rocks are Lawrence Humane Society and Semper Fi Fund. The Lawrence Humane Society is located in Lawrence, Kansas, a real community that Supernatural's fictional family of evil-fighters called home. Semper Fi Fund is a national organization focused on supporting Marines, service members, and their families."

I would like to make a challenge to the TV.com folks to try and make a donation of any amount in honour of the season 3 premiere... maybe in the comments on the Pay Pal Page make notation of Tv.com

That way we can be a part of something that gives back and shows everyone what a real fandom can do!!

I cannot express how influential the book "A Wrinkle in Time" has been in my life. I can no longer remember the the first time i read it (maybe 6 or 7), but i have read it so many times since that i have bought3 copies of it over the years. The story of the Murray's captured my fascination and really opened up my mind to the world of sci fi and fantasy... Heck i still read the Time series to this day... and it still pulls me in like it did almost 24 years ago. It also opened my eyes tot he world of theatre... the first real play I saw was a production of "A Wrinkle in Time" at theStage One in Lousiville, I was mesmerized. If you have never read them, I cannot shout it loud enough... GO READ THEM NOW!!!!!! It's not just a kids books (any more than Harry Potter is)...it reads on different levels... much like Narnia does (though perhaps not with the same obviousness ).

But I just want to say thank youto some one who helped foster my intense love of reading and helped me to discover the worlds beyond our everyday one!

Writer Madeleine L'Engle, 88; Author of 'A Wrinkle in Time'

By Adam Bernstein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 8, 2007; B05

Madeleine L'Engle, 88, a prolific author whose best-known novel, "A Wrinkle in Time," won the top prize for children's literature and was considered among the most enigmatic works of fiction ever created, died Sept. 6 at Rose Haven nursing home in Litchfield, Conn.

The cause of death was not disclosed by the family, but she reportedly had a cerebral hemorrhage in recent years.

"A Wrinkle in Time," published in 1962, won the American Library Association's Newbery Medal for best children's book. It went through more than 60 printings, was adapted for television and other media and helped establish Ms. L'Engle among the best-selling children's authors of her generation.

Yet "children's author" did not begin to describe the breadth of her output, which included more than 50 books of adult fiction and nonfiction, poetry, plays and many volumes of memoirs. Reviewers noted a timeless quality in her best fiction, which blended themes of adolescent pain, spiritual and emotional insight, ethical decision-making and, above all, adventure and entertainment.

Ms. L'Engle was a veteran author by the time "A Wrinkle in Time" was published, and the book cemented her reputation as a major literary figure. The novel weaved together aspects of theology and quantum physics and featured a female protagonist, which was unusual at the time.

The plot concerned three New England youngsters -- the socially awkward Meg Murry, her young brother, Charles Wallace Murry, and her older, more popular friend, Calvin O'Keefe. They use time travel and extrasensory perception to free the siblings' scientist father, who had vanished from the family after discovering a mysterious source of evil. They find him on a planet where absolute conformity rules.

The book introduced many readers to a "tesseract," a principle, according to the narrative, that allows the youths to "travel through space without having to go the long way around."

Ms. L'Engle tried to sell "A Wrinkle in Time" to a dozen publishers before Farrar, Straus and Giroux agreed -- with the caveat that the author should not expect much public reaction. She, in turn, had it written in her contract that the company could have the rights to the book forever, anywhere in the universe, except the Andromeda galaxy.

"A Wrinkle in Time" was an instant sensation and attracted critical praise that culminated in the Newbery.

The novel consistently encouraged debate, with some literary observers speculating that Ms. L'Engle's strong Anglican faith was a major influence.

Writing in the New Yorker in 2004, poet Cynthia Zarin said the book can be read as "science fiction, a warm tale of family life, a response to the Cold War, a book about a search for a father, a feminist tract, a religious fable, a coming-of-age novel, a work of Satanism" -- Ms. L'Engle said that Christian fundamentalists continually tried to ban it -- "or a prescient meditation on the future of the United States after the Kennedy assassination."

Ms. L'Engle demurred from analyzing the book too much, once saying, "It was only after it was written that I realized what some of it meant."

Madeleine L'Engle Camp was born Nov. 29, 1918, in New York. Her father, Charles Wadsworth Camp, was a foreign correspondent and author of thrillers, some of which ("Backstage Phantom," "House of Fear") were turned into films. Her mother, also named Madeleine, was a pianist from a prominent Jacksonville, Fla., family.

Ms. L'Engle, a demure child, said she was abandoned by her parents at a Swiss boarding school. "I shook hands with the matron, and they vanished," she told the New Yorker.

They later enrolled her in schools in Jacksonville, where she once was horrified to see an alligator crawl up a porch front, and a girl's prep school in Charleston, S.C., where she bloomed socially and was named c l a s s president.

Her father died about that time, and some critics noted that it was probably not coincidental that many of her books include searches for lost fathers.

Ms. L'Engle was involved in theater and playwriting at Smith College, where she graduated in 1941, and afterward spent two years as assistant stage manager for a production of Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard."

She married one of the show's actors, Hugh Franklin, who had a recurring role on the TV soap opera "All My Children." He died in 1986. A son, Bion Franklin, died in 1999.

Survivors include two daughters, Josephine Jones of Goshen, Conn., and Maria Rooney of Mystic, Conn.; five grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

In the early 1950s, Ms. L'Engle and her husband settled in Goshen, where they owned and operated a general store. In later years, she taught at an Episcopal day school and was a librarian at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, both in Manhattan.

Although she had written and published novels since 1945 -- her debut book, "The Small Rain," was about a young pianist's struggle between art and love -- it was not until 1960 that she wrote her first widely recognized work.

That book, "Meet the Austins," was the first novel in a series about a Connecticut family and its struggles with jealousy, love and death. A later book in the series, "A Ring of Endless Light" (1980), was a Newbery finalist.

As with the Austins series, Ms. L'Engle was compelled by popular demand to create more books with the Murry children, including "A Wind in the Door" (1973), "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" (197, "Many Waters" (1986) and "An Acceptable Time" (1989).

Over the years, the characters of Meg and Calvin, who becomes a biologist, marry and have a daughter, Polyhymnia.

The author did not claim to have any special knowledge of science while writing the books.

She once told National Public Radio that she was in a phase of searching for a better understanding of theology when "I just came across a phrase of Einstein's, which completely excited me. He said, 'Anyone who is not lost in rapturous awe at the power and glory of the mind behind the universe is as good as a burned-out candle.'

"And I thought, 'Oh! There's my theologian.' "

She had a long career as a public speaker, and in 2004 she received the National Humanities Medal but could not attend the ceremony because of poor health. Her newest book for young adult readers, "The Joys of Love," is scheduled for publication in the spring.

Less publicly, Ms. L'Engle struggled with difficult family relations, including her son's death from complications of alcoholism.

"I think that my characters came to me because I didn't have any family, and I wanted to have a family, and it was the only way I could get it," she told the New Yorker.

When she was reminded that she had a family, Ms. L'Engle replied: "Even so, writing the stories came out of my childhood experience

Well I finished Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows yesterday... read it in about 8-81/2 hours... i was amazed and reminded all over again why i love these books and why JK Rowling is a freaking genius. Things that i thought would happen did, but perhaps in ways i would have never imagined. Things I never excepted to happen, did...

I cried, I laughed (thought not as much as in previous books, but then again it's war how much is there to laugh about) and i in awe ofthe strength of character that not only the trio shows, but others as well...

Some will enjoy the ending a great deal, others...not so much. For me I was very very content and felt it was a fitting way to say good bye to the series, though part of me wonders if she didn't end it the way she did just to give fan ficers a nice cannon playground

anyway let me know your thoughts and we'll talk more specifics after more have read it!!!

Okay most of you guys know that i am one of wonder evil twins... we who search out the spoilers to end all spoilers of SN... but we are little more than a day away from the last Harry Potter Book and my evil ways are bleeding over.

we've all heard about the pictures of the book pages, and while i have not seen any of these things, I am SOOOOOOOO tempted to do some snooping and just find out something (mostly does Harry live or die)... but then again I have read all the other books almost spoiler free... then there is the less evil option of waiting until i get the book and read the last chapter as soon as i get it...

does this mean i've gone too far on the darkside??? what should i do?

and if anyone knows any spoilers PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't post them anywhere on my blog or on the threads... cause just cause I'm evil doesn't mean anyone else is
