[edit] Proposed split

I don't see why the "Source novel and screenplay" subheading should be used to create an entirely new article on the book. What's here is only what's relevant to the film and screenplay (and wouldn't be relevant to an article on the source book). Also, the title of the book is A Watcher in the Woods, so renaming this article to "The Watcher in the Woods (film)" is not necessary. Guermantes 19:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

This information should not be removed from the article, but someone should start a new article for the book. -Ben 136.142.96.55 15:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Switch...?

The plot summary says that the Watcher "explains the switch that took place" but the summary itself never explains that switch. I haven't seen the movie, but could someone who has put that into the main plot summary? Otherwise it makes the plot summary rather confusing. -Elizabennet 02:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid adding the Watcher's explanation of the nature of the switch will only make it more confusing. It is vague at best, suggesting something to do with the "magnetic pull of the eclipse". The original cause of the switch - before the ending was re-shot - had it that the Watcher needed Jan's "image" to free Karen. Neither makes any sense in terms of science. I'll go back and listen to the dialog, but I don't think anything worthwhile will come of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.201.58.141 (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC).
