I would love to see at least ONE lighthearted episode that took place when some human was not arriving through a portal to prevent the end of the world as we know it. The fact that most of Narnian history was like that was openly said in the stories themselves.

I think that WHATEVER they do should not fundamentally negate or bend the tone of the canon. For instance, O Henry wrote a short story called "The Fourth Wise Man" about a fictional also-ran among the wise men from the East. That's ok because despite what you've always heard, the Bible doesn't...

What I want is a story about how Narnia coped with the disappearance of the Four Pevensies. Honestly I couldn't imagine this happening without conspiracy theories, assassination speculations, thoughts of magic, etc. And who would have the moral right to take the helm? I had some definite...

I wonder if anyone at Walden Media asked themselves seriously if Lewis was too naïve about storytelling...or if he was too brilliant. The whole idea of an evil that simply CANNOT disappear completely is jumping all four paws into the chasm of dualism. As if somehow good could not exist without...

The thoughts of superheroes terrifies me. Imagine...after years of fighting crime against all odds...you decide to take off ONE WEEKEND to save your sanity and break the monotony. And during that one weekend a little girl is kidnapped and killed and her parents look at you like you're worse than...

I'm going out on a limb here and suggesting that Revelation is not written to scare people into being good. It's written to reassure good people that no matter what it looks like, good will win in the end and the dictators of this world...whether the Philistines, the Roman Empire, or the Martian...

Oddly, some of them might have been alternative earths. Such as the one where the Axis powers won World War II.

Tomorrow morning, the skies should lighten, getting lightest about noon. After that, it will keep getting darker."

How about "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "Return of the King"? Oh, wait, nobody would ever use those for titles. How about, "A New Hope?"

I was brown till the grey cells in my brain started expressing themselves with my hair colour.

There WAS a central theme to the book. VODT was a series of temptations for power, wealth, safety, or curiosity that prevented those unworthy to reach Aslan's country on the other side from doing so. In a way it was like Pilgrim's Progress.

I want them to get the overall tone right. Too often Hollywood uses a formula for films and they check off everything to make sure there's something for everyone. So help me, if they could put a car chase into these films to make them more interesting, they would, and it would end in a car...

In an episode called "Rhyme Time," everyone is infected with a virus that causes them to only reply in rhymes. Aslan saves them by asking, "Do you want an orange?"

Why bless my old badger nose, you smell familiar! <g> As I have a few spare moments here and there (particularly there), I thought I'd drop in and participate a bit. As National Commissioner of Trail Life USA and one of its National Chaplaincy, I have many demands on my time. More to the point...

MrBob, the repeated use of tens was meant to both distance traditionalism and create a method of telling time and dates more easily tracked in base 10 than modulus 7. Don't forget the all important thing...like Mussolini with the Year of the New Order, they took the spotlight off the birth of...

It's not so much about sexism as sex. The other Pevensies were elite leaders who were married to Narnia the way nuns are married to Christ. Susan wanted herself a man. Nothing wrong with romance, I promise you, but she should have cultivated her beauty on the inside. Some of the most happily...

Names of the months are important propaganda tools, everything from celebrating the "good old days" when a country was great to the "good old boys" who ruled it well. Romans knew this all too well when they went from the 10 month calendar to the 12 month lunar calendar. Two new months named...
