I read a couple of fabulous essays on Narnia today. The first one was The Problem of Susan by truepenny, which is a reading of Narnia through Neil Gaiman's story, The Problem of Susan. I haven't read the story, but I kind of want to read it now, because it sounds wonderful and thought-provoking, as is the essay. Lipstick on My Scholar, on the other hand, is a great *defence* of CSL (you heard that right). I don't buy into every argument of his, particularly where he cites Susan being courted by various suitors as an instance of Lewis' acceptance of adult, female sexuality, but it's well-written nonetheless.

The discussion in truepenny's journal also made me go and re-read a couple of wonderful stories, The Ivory Horn by kaydeefalls, a His Dark Materials/Narnia x-over from this years Yuletide (which just blew me away the first time I read it), and The Queen's Return by honorh. Both Susan-centric, both approaching the 'problem of Susan' in two different ways.

Speaking of Narnia, I forgot to mention that I saw Prince Caspian and loved it. I loved the changes they made, ( spoilers )

I also watched the BSG miniseries today, all of it, and how cute *were* these people back then? Also, it's interesting how hindsight makes me see these characters in a different way. I want to squish Tigh and throw things at Baltar, and the sheer AWESOMENESS of Laura Roslin makes me squee. This is not the reaction I had the first time, where I was mostly watching Kara and Adama and trying to absorb things; it took me quite a while to warm up to Laura, in fact.

Rec: deaths and resurrections of the cylon laura roslin by firenze083, Roslin (Adama/Roslin): This is a wonderful AU about the life and times of Laura Roslin, Cylon, with lovely little cameos by Athena and Bill. firenze083 takes us through Laura's journey to Cylonhood, and it's heart-breaking and wonderfully detailed.
