What is a "chivalrous affair"? Joyous 14:08, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

~~Hey everyone, this book is the worst book I've ever read.~~ Also I think by "chivalrous affair" it's supposed to imply that their affair wasn't purely physical but Ethan deeply loved Mattie (none of this matters; the book is god awful). --142.161.181.136 06:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the line about Ethan's mother dying during autumn. She died during the winter: "He had often thought since that it would not have happened if his mother had died in spring instead of winter.” No mention of autumn.

Also, for some reason the Engineer was mentioned as Jordyn (a female) in the plot synopsis. Since the Engineer was never given a sex or name, this should be erased. Who the hell wrote this article?

Merge request

And the point of the Starkfield article was? Can't see it myself. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 14:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Film

Should we include details of the film here, or have a separate article ? -- Beardo 08:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

seperate. Its a different thing, plus it needs a lot of space for whoever writes the article to fit in the laughing at how retarted that one scene where ethan and mattie sled down the hill at 2 miles an hour and then somehow get hurt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.122.93.108 (talk) 03:43, 7 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

We should also mention that Ned Hale opens the film by greeting the Minister (Engineer in the book). The problem with this is that Ned Hale is dead in the book by the time the Minister (engineer) arrives.

Vandalism

Josh, please discontinue vandalising this page. Everytime you vandalise a page, someone has to go out of their way to revert the page in question. This sort of behaviour is unacceptable when we are trying to make this a reliable encyclopedic source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.171.41.223 (talk) 22:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

References

Are references just when the book is mentioned on TV or in other books and stuff? Because Regina Spektor mentions the book in her song, "2.99 Cent Blues," but I'm not sure if I should add it. Should I? MusicEqualsLife (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
