A tip of the hat to Moonglum

[Doc]

Did anyone catch the series finale of Alias?

Mashall's wife was trying to decode some of his encrypted files. She got into them by using "Moonglum of Elwher" as a password, referring to his favorite literary character.

Did that one go through. Watching Alias makes me paranoid...

Weird.
I posted this (or thought I had). Is SD6 back in business ?
I watched that final episode of Alias, but it was in a motel bedroom and I might have missed the earlier part. So I didn't notice that Moonglum reference.
Marshall would make a great Moonglum, wouldn't he ? I actually thiink he'd be better in the first script than Rackhir (who we decided on).
Better dynamic, in my view. Maybe we'll rewrite the script with Marshall in mind!
I still watch it weekends on the reruns I didn't see before!

I might have to watch that repeat epsisode. It makes me wonder what other references I missed.

Always liked Moonglum - one of the great Names in literature. Also, most of the Elric stories I first read featured Elric and Moonglum as a pair, and I associated them with Holmes and Watson. (Okay, a bit more the Rathbone/Bruce team rather than Doyle's.) Off topic, but I enjoyed Jeremy Brett's Holmes more than others. It helped I saw Mr. Brett on stage as Dracula - with the Gorey sets and all, and he put a bit of a humorous spin on the character I found startling, effective and funny. It's that kind of chemistry I'd like to see, whether Elric/Rackhir or Elric/Moonglum.

Tristelune in French. Nice, eh ?
Anyway, I prefer the chemistry between Elric and Moonglum as an ongoing relationship. Moonglum acts as a sort of chorus (or Mrs Cornelius) when Elric gets too self-pitying.

I mentioned this before, so I must say it again. When Moonglum is introduced, I think Tommy Flannigan would be perfect.
Of course, he may not be as widely known. He never seems to get proper credit. At least on the big screen.

I don't know Marshall's real name, but he's still my favourite...

Always wondered Mike, and you don't have to answer if it's bad politics, but what did you think of Gary Gygax, the creator of D&D's interpretation of Moonglum in the story he had in the first White Wolf anthology?

[Michael Moorcock]

I can't remember clearly but I remember liking Gary's story.

[Dead-Air]

Fair enough, it was a fun little adventure which you'd kind of expect from a guy who crafted fun little adventures commercialy for so many years. I believe he also did a series of books with a "rogue" character who seemed Moonglumish on the cover at least.

I agree with Marshall as Moonglum. He has the build I always imagined.

Rackhir in the first film. Hmmmm....

I'm the same way with watching Alias on the weekend. I missed a big stretch of it, and the epidodes I've already seen hold up pretty well. I still like the paranoia. Are they watching me.

Just turning the programme on attracts the attention of the Secret Satellite, Doc. You're logged. God knows what will happen to you next.
Assuming it IS you I'm talking to.
Assuming it's me that's talking...
