Narnia...

[fajrdrako]

In the new issue of X-Factor I read last week, Rahne said to Rictor, "If you were any more closeted, you'd be in Narnia."

In the episode of Lost Girl I just watched ("Food for Thought"), Kenzi said to Dyson, "Did I just wake up in Narnia?"

Now I'm looking for a third pop culture Narnia reference...

They never say the word Narnia, but it's pretty obvious that Fillory in The Magicians by Lev Grossman is at least as much a darker, scarier, less Christian Narnia as Brakebills is a smarter, darker, more logically consistent version of Hogwarts.

Cool! Is the book worth reading?

I enjoyed it although I'm annoyed how it ended and would probably be really ticked off if I didn't know there was going to be a second one--it's perilously close to the trope I hate, the one about how unlimited power over reality or immortality are immensely morally wrong for people to have so you shouldn't want them.

Hmm... could be interesting ideas, but I don't like that theme either.
