New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

There was a big secret? I thought they were just abducted by aliens.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Nope! Spoiler follows: they were abducted into the future, given powers and abilities, and sent back to the present to alter and hopefully prevent the disastrous future they were abducted to. End Spoiler!

[SuziQ]

I've watched several of the episodes. So what IS the Big Secret? You can ghost it so as not to spoil it for anyone. ;o)

[RosieCotton]

Watchin' a movie here.... wine, popcorn, and random violence. Mmmm.

Minor addition to your list: wine, popcorn, random violence, and Karl Urban. Mmmm.

[SuziQ]

OK, I read it. Didn't realize it was such a secret, though.

[JenB]

Oh, that's kinda cool. Why was the one chick impregnated, then? Or did she just forget about that?

[JenB]

You can have him. I'll have more wine.

[RosieCotton]

OK...

But I want wine *too*.

[SuziQ]

Are you watching Bourne Supremacy 2? Karl Urban was skeery in that one! ;o) His character in that one gave Clare the idea that the actor playing Victor Krum in HP:GOF looks like Karl Urban.

[SuziQ]

Oops. Not "2", just Bourne Supremacy. I liked it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, it was a Big Secrect last season, not so secret any more!

[JenB]

We had an argument because she kept rooting for him, and I thought Matt Damon was cute in that movie.

[SuziQ]

Oh, the baby is kinda creepy in a cool way. She has some interesting powers!

[RosieCotton]

Yep, that's the one.

Skeery...but still attractive. Thinner than he was as Eomer, though.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Why was the one chick impregnated, then?

The child has Amazing Powers... more so than most of The 4400.

[SuziQ]

I don't like that sleazy guy who is exploiting the kid who heals folks. What's that cult thing he has going on? Was he one of the 4400, or did he just start exploiting them because he could?

[JenB]

That's still weird. Aliens it kinda makes sense, everyone knows aliens abduct people and probe them, and mutilate cattle, and spawn halfbreed offspring.

[SuziQ]

Thinner than he was as Eomer, though.

I think he was always that skinny. He just had a boatload of armor on as Eomer. Have you seen Chronicles of Riddick? He plays another skeery one in that movie.

[RosieCotton]

Hm...haven't seen that one. Perhaps we should.

[SuziQ]

Yeah, Matt Damon's cute, but Karl Urban just has that tough guy thang going on!
