(Bernadette Peters is awesome!) And some of the White Witch’s lines certainly lend themselves to hamminess like “Tell you what is written on that very table of stone which stands beside us?” But everyone else so far is underplaying their part, sometimes to the point of sleepwalking (except for Maugrim, I guess) while she milks every single line for as much emotion as possible. (Also did anyone else notice she looks cross eyed when she first meets Edmund?) I enjoy a hammy actor now and then. I wonder if Kellerman’s performance feels weird to people because she’s the only ham in the cast. I’d actually been looking forward to the discussion on Good Edmund vs Evil Edmund.) Now I guess I’m going to have watch episode 3 before so I can make an informed comment on the parts of it you talked about. I actually watched episode 2 in preparation for this episode. Netflix, I hope you’re following this podcast. Maugrim’s was okay, but the Beavers made me laugh – they were giant egg-shaped puff-balls with beaver masks! 😀 But seriously, all this talk about costumes makes me wonder what this next generation of Narnians will look like. It was so out of place, that even as a kid it made me bust out laughing! Wolves don’t roar, dude! They howl! 😀Īnd yes, the animals’ costumes were hysterical, very Halloween. BBC-Witch’s costume was way better though – Walden-Witch looks like an Elsa wanna-be! She had a flippin’ icicle coming out of her head! 😀Īnd as for Maugrim, I agree about the roar at the end. So BBC-Witch may not be all that bad, but IMO it was Walden-Witch who really came the closest.

She was the only book villain to ever scare me more than a movie or TV villain.

BBC-Witch was definitely threatening, but Book-Witch was in a class by herself.

In my most recent Narnia post (on my blog), I described BBC-Witch as “a very different kind of scary (less black widow spider, more barking Doberman)”. Your description of Book-Witch is EXACTLY how I imagined her.
