Or as a dead fly, how ABANDONED the room was.

It was a fly. Period. Because it was laying on the sill. It is common in abandoned rooms to find where a fly tried to leave the room and kept hitting the glass over and over till it finally fell exhausted and died there on the sill. No other possible meaning of the word would convey that meaning.

You forgot Howard and Andy. As in Howard Be Thy Name, or Andy Walks With Me, Andy Talks With Me....

What is the proper title for a Queen in abeyance, Joe? Your Suspended Majesty? ;-)

I think Susan lost her queenship the moment she started portraying Narnia as a childish pretend game they used to play. I don't have queenship, and I don't feel condemned to Hell. Her not having queenship would not be a death sentence. Perhaps some light would be shed on this if we assume that...

You're banned for Reason 7. And if you ask what Reason 7 is, that will get you Permabanned.

I think the quote "not a friend of Narnia" put it succinctly. It does not imply that she was an enemy, but she was no longer any of the things that you expect from a friend. One is to talk as if all those adventures...even seeing the risen Lord...were just childish games. If you heard Mary or...

Black and white striped on head, grey on body. Like most of my kind.

That was truly chilling.

Some of the world ending events parallel those in Revelation because probably that would have to be the case. That said, I don't think everything in TLB was meant to directly parallel Revelation simply because they were two different historical events. Consider for a moment how two world wars on...

Great question. Who says if the moon cooperates you can't have twelve 28-day months? Or if the days were longer, maybe 28 hours long rather than 24...you couldn't have fewer days than our earth and yet still have the same amount of hours in a year? Makes my stripes hurt.

That's just too strange...to see Ginger at Defense Technologies, Ltd., behind him a map of the world, talking with Rishda about the glories of the military-industrial complex.

I once jokingly suggested a version of LWW titled, "Oh, Wardrobe!" A musical romp through war, death, and resurrection with 10 original songs by Peter Schickele.

It would give away too much, but each chapter in VOTD could be named for the virtue it represents. Courage, selflessness, persistence, etc.

Socialism is the philosophy that rights belong to mankind but not to men. That can only be realized if people put their faith in the state rather than in God.

Oh absolutely, Jasmine. Absolutely.

While Lewis hinted that these villains may have had a backstory, I'm sure he'd be horrified if we suggested that only their circumstances made them who they are, and that they didn't choose the wrong thing for the wrong reason. These days if Hollywood did Paradise Lost, they'd have the Devil...

"Tomorrow will be sunny and fair, assuming you live to see it."

Ironically if Walden had kept the franchise, they could have used today's motion-capture cgi to make virtual younger Pevensies so they could appear in The Last Battle.

Suggested tongue-in-cheek titles: 1. Clean as a Weasel 2. Bright Lights of War Drobe 3. Which Witch is Which? 4. Where Do We Draw the Lion? 5. The King of Harts 6. Another World (Oh wait, that was a soap opera...) 7. The Red Badger of Courage 8. Elf Improvement 9. It's Forbidden to Look a Lot...
