So apparently Tirian is a redhead, according to Susan. *bemused* Red hair, freckles, and green eyes. Very un-Telmarine...except for the shape of his face. There's something of Caspian there.

I think my brain was just sitting there going 'the Telmarines are Spanish? OMIGOD GIMME.'

That very concept was what sold the movie to me. So long as Lewis meant South Sea as in south of Panama, it works brilliantly. Yay, pirates.

Of course, if he meant South China Sea instead then we're scuppered because the Telmarines should have been Chinese. But the very name of their race suggests the first interpretation. I've always thought it pretty funny that they should have been afraid of the sea but carried it everywhere with them in their name.

...I never even considered Chinese. But then I got caught up in that whole medieval Europe/Calormenes are obviously the Turks and Arabians thing.

Every time I hear South Sea I'm back at, "ASLAN YOU BASTARD YOU DROPPED THEM RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC WAR." *cough* Referring to the Telmarines who got sent back to Earth, that is.

Heh. It was a bit mean. Probably Glozelle's promised good future in our world was not getting wiped out by a bombing raid.

But it was a handy way for Aslan to get the alternate heir (Miraz's son) out of circulation so that any disgruntled factions who remained behind in Narnia couldn't use him as a rallying point in opposition to Caspian.
