    How they sat around the table

    I was reading the part where Tirian saw the Friends of Narnia sitting around the table. It seems an odd in one sense as Tirian could see the faces of each person from a slight distance. We know that Peter sat at the right of Digory while Edmund the same with Polly. Lucy, Eustace, and Jill all...

    The Hall of Statues on Charn

    "what could be so deplorable about a word undone by ringing someone up on Ma Bell?" EveningStar, the deplorable word destroyed all life on Charn. Ringing the bell did nothing to bring any life back, all it did was to break Jadis out of the spell she put on herself that basically kept her in...

    Should Unnamed Characters Be Given A Name?

    Mrs. Pevensie was only given the name Helen because it was Georgie Henley's mother's name. I think that would be a fun way to name parents of certain young characters, go with the relevant family members as long as they fit within the names of the cultures within Narnia. As for Miraz, you...

    What if Aslan And Tash get depicted as Brothers in an Adaptation?

    Tash just comes and goes in a quick scene. How would they expand the role that much and still keep the story smooth?

    Calormenes Smell of Garlic and Onion?

    Interestingly, in some Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, eating garlic and onions is forbidden. I wonder if Lewis knew about that and added it for some interesting reason. Or maybe he just didn't like the smell of onions and garlic and had issues with others who ate it a lot. Personally, I love both...

    Edmund's Gift

    Edmund's lack of a gift was made up for with his epithet of "the Just". His turning away from his siblings, return, talk with Aslan, death sentence, and finally Aslan's heroic sacrifice in his stead all contributed to how he turned out as a king. He was one who most understood those who...

    Movies AND Series?

    Just thought of a better transition between LWW and H&HB. It begins with a similar ending of Walden's movie with Lucy and Tumnus watching Aslan walking down the beach. They focus on Aslan start trotting and then running faster and faster until he leaps into the Ocean and helps an unknown small...

    Should The Dialogue In Narnia Films Or Series Match The Books?

    It need not match completely the exact wording of the books, save some important areas. The dialogue does, however, need to match the spirit of the series. If they do keep with the time period for the Friends of Narnia, they would have to keep with slang of those specific periods. As for the...

    Untold Stories That Narnia Episodic Series Could Tell

    The books were protagonist-centric in how you read them. Nothing outside of what they experienced was shown. There could be a lot of parts outside of what was shown in the books. As for the timeline, Peter was barely an adult according to Tirian when he saw them sitting around the table in TLB...

    Differences You Actually Want

    The Walden movie of LWW did show Lucy and Susan practicing using their respective weapons with Lucy throwing hers with great accuracy, scoring a bullseye at a target. Regarding the adaptational changes I would like, first I want to go back and say I disliked the thawing waterfall sequence in...

    Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? (Books Only)

    "A time device is always just a a weak plot fixer." Always, no. There are some good uses of time devices. "I hope the time device isn't used again.'" In the series at large, no. The time turners were never used again. However, the play "Cursed Child" has the time turner playing a far more...

    Romantic Relations Expanded In Narnia

    The problem is that all of the relationships take place either before the events of the books (Frank and Helen), in between as in the case of Caspian/RD, or after the events (Cor/Aravis). In this case, the closest thing we could probably get is Caspian/RD in the flashbacks of the owl parliament...

    Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? (Books Only)

    I had no problem with time travel. Cloning would be way too out there seeing as how someone would have to age up the clone and somehow transfer their memories. Then we would have the problem of two Hermiones for the rest of the series. Just to add to the topic at large (I don't think I have)...

    Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? (Books Only)

    Absolutely. Not to give anything plotwise away, but he still is calling Harry "boy" into the last book.He is also the only one of the Dursleys not to give him a smidgen of feelings that he will ever miss Harry.

    Do you think Susan ever made it to Aslan's Country?

    Susan and Lucy were described as having suitors. In Susan's case, they were the kings of the lands beyond the sea while Lucy was being courted by the princes of those same areas. Nothing was stated about Peter or Edmund. Personally, I've always imagined Lucy bringing her daughter with her in...
