Carry on Critics

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Congratulations to Nigel Price: very interesting and even graceful
input on the religious issue. A welcome change from this increasingly
rusty topic of the iron men; shouldn't we move on to other threads,
like whether Severian's guild cloak is made from tussah, chenille, or
silk?
On casting for THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN: Carry On is all very well, but
why not look for talent closer to home? With hope that I avoid
inflicting any personal injury, I'd like to suggest the following
casting, based on known critical attributes of the individuals
concerned:
SEVERIAN =3D Michael Andre-Driussi
THECLA =3D Joan Gordon
JUTURNA =3D Alice K. Turner
MASTER ULTAN =3D Jonathan Laidlow
ODILO =3D Nigel Price (because of the "dull video")
BALDANDERS =3D Ori Kowarsky
DR. TALOS =3D Robert Borski
FATHER INIRE =3D Damien Broderick (lurking)
CANOG =3D Patrick O'Leary
MASTER ASH =3D Nick Gevers
EREBUS =3D Peter Wright
TZADKIEL =3D Gene Wolfe
Any additions?
