Crap, I had a long comment typed up and lj ate it...:(
I did feel somewhat bad for Susan. She'd convinced herself that Narnia wasn't real, what have you, and then there they are...and Lucy is PISSED at her, Edmund seems disapproving, and Peter, well, he's not mad, probably due to your Aslan conspiracy theory. *grins*
I LOVE the interplay between Peter and Edmund. The way that Edmund automatically covers for Peter and then, dying, turns into Peter's hand, calling on his brother in the same breath as Aslan (*before* Aslan...); and then Peter, all frantic-relieved and not trusting anybody else to carry his brother or work on him...*wibbles*
I still think everyone is too hard on Tirian. Canonically, everything was going all right, he heard some rumors about Aslan and went to check them out personally, and turns out some Calormenes had infiltrated the country. Tirian was brave, no dumber than Caspian (whom most people seem to like), and honestly believed in Aslan/cared about his country/people; and he worked well with Eustace and Jill. The fact that Aslan *chose* this time to end the world isn't *his* fault; and the general Narnian populace failed in *their* responsibilites, too, because they didn't believe in Aslan any more, or were dumb enough to be fooled by a moonlit donkey in a Lion-skin.
