[Interview] Voynich documentary on the Travel Channel

[nickpelling]

I thought the documentary was anodyne and disappointing, with any trace of character or verve ruthlessly edited out.

Yet the Voynich is extraordinary, romantic, frustrating, contradictory, mad(dening) and yet hyperrational. It's a siren, and everyone thinks they're smart enough to tie themselves to the mast, but they get lured to their fate regardless.

You wouldn't think so from that film, sorry.
