Martin the Warrior: The book.

[Log-a-Log]

Yes, Doomwyte was not one of the better books

I'd have to say that the series did get a little repetitive for me. The same sort of thing happened over and over and over. It made the books look.... Predictable... Still, it's my favorite series but sometimes I need a break from it.... A very very small break....

Although I didn't like Doomwyte that much, I really enjoyed the Sable Quean and I thought the Rogue Crew was a good final book

I loved The Sable Quean
OH by the way, back to the book.
We haven't mentioned Skalrag or Hisk or Fleabane have we?

[Skalrag of Marshank]

I LOVE SKALRAG!!!! For some reason, I always liked the show better than the book. Aside from Skalrag's...ah...demise.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Demise??
I just got Martin the Warrior from a bookshop, which inspired me to watch the rest of the movie. I don't really like how they did Rowanoak, though. She is pretty small, and looks like the bearded lady. XD. Still, I have a soft spot for all badgers. 

[Skalrag of Marshank]

You know how Skalrag got tickled to death in the show? That's what I meant. Yeah, I don't like how they made Ballaw and Rowanoak look.

Vocabulary Lesson of the Day: Demise=Death.

[martins#1fan]

Yes, they shouldn't have had him tickled to death, they should have at least shot him, but show the archers firing the arrows, instead of showing Skalrag pined to the wall by arrows.
I hope that makes sense.

Skalrag's death scene in the show gives new meaning to "laughing yourself to death" which supposedly can be done.  Its not likely to be done because you simply pass out if you can't breathe.  Chances of dying from it are pretty slim to none.  I think the arrows could have been used without harming any innocent childhoods.

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Yeah. Sucky death for my favorite character.

[Redwall Musician]

Skalrag's death did bother me. My brothers and sister were like, why are they tickling him? They didn't even know he died.

[Skalrag of Marshank]

I have decided to rewatch the show! I'm on part 2 of the first episode on Youtube.

[Log-a-Log]

One thing about Martin the Warrior I have always wondered about is that on the map, the cliffs are called the South Cliffs, while south of them are the North Hills. And in the book, they say at one point they head south to the cliffs, while, according to the map, they are really traveling north. Seems strange

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Ohhhhh...I wish I could say I wondered about that too, but I can't because I didn't... I wouldn't know, sorry!

[Lutra]

I always wonder about the accuracy of the maps.  The most recent one in Rogue Crew kind of contradicts alot of stories we've read.  There seems to be almost nothing between Redwall and Salamandastron if you're to believe that map.  The trek to the mountain never seemed that easy or without crossing mountains or forests.

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Did Brian Jacques make the maps or did somebody else?

I assume he would have given an illustrator a rough design and they would have drawn the maps. I'm guessing it would have been the illustrator responsible for the chapter icons like David Elliot or Gary Chalk. Does anyone know?
