Megan follows is da bomb!

the books unfortunately don't follow the megan follows movies/whatever they were. the books have Marilla in them and living with anne and Gilbert and their brood of children but that couldn't happen in video form since Coleen Dewherst died irl.

Sorry to dispute a fellow fan of that series, but when was the last time you read the books? Marilla does occasionally visit the Blythe family, but I do not believe she t lives with them on a permanent basis. I say this because I have read all the books in the original series at least twice each. Also, I know this sounds picky, but how could the books "follow" the movies or TV series (especially the latter)? The first book was published in 1908, the last one in 1939--L. M. Montgomery died in 1942.

It really is a shame that Colleen Dewhurst died before the Megan Follows series was completed. She was perfect as Marilla, imo. 

By the way (and off-topic), has anybody else noticed that there have been two actresses sharing (more or less) a name with the heroine of those books? First came Anne Shirley, who took that name after playing the role in the 1934 film version of Anne of Green Gables (before that movie, she used the name Dawn O'Day--which to me sounds vaguely like the name of a stripper); and of course, later on we had Ann Blyth (okay, so her name's lacking a couple of "e"'s), ingenue lead in MGM's Kismet.  

I had heard Cary Grant did that too (changed his name from Archibald Leach to "Cary Grant" after a character he played), but I couldn't find any evidence at IMDb to support that. Oh well.

no no, there was a time where pa went hunting because they had no meat for supper and therefore took the only gun when two indian men came by. she wrote about it specifically.

gently and quietly ransacking things, opened the door like they owned the place, sat down at the table, took the tobacco and some other things, rummaged until ma made cornbread and served it to them [as charles told her to do]. girls are cowering behind the wood pile. they eat corn bread, take more corn bread for the road, take more random stuff and then wander out like a fart in the wind.

laura really wanted to let jack loose but mary talked her out of it because pa said no [and that was good advice too -- they would have shot jack and then have had reason to be even more SAVAGE towards the ingalls. complete with raping and scalping.


and what is this about depictions and ridiculous? THIS IS WHAT THEY DID! WHAT SHE EXPERIENCED! she even wrote what her mother [and sister on cue from her mother] said about them SAVAGES. she doesn't say whether or not she agreed with them but just mentioned the reality of her life. she was too young to form an opinion back then.


and no one said her books were being banned, just that they were yanking an award. still, you cant hold a long dead historical celebrity responsible for NOT thinking the way we think today. that is just asinine and retarded.
