Mad at Harry? I thought it was only because of his orders that the skinwalker didn't kill Harry.
Oh, look at the pretties!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Now I'm wondering if the other 6 Cylons are going to Box DeAnna. (D'Anna?)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't mad or that he doesn't want to hurt Harry. The skinwalker's phrasing was something like, "When you ripped your uncle to pieces"; she didn't just say "killed him". There was definite vindictiveness there. And when we saw the uncle there at the end, he looked sinister, and I translated that into "danger for the hero".
But I don't know.

Perhaps, if it really is him, Uncle Justin still has an agenda for Harry, that Harry is more important/useful alive, with the chance of being used/converted for/to the uncle's nefarious purposes, than dead?
I really enjoyed this, although for some reason I had the impression that it was supposed to be funnier/quirkier than it was. Not that I'm complaining, I liked the tone it struck quite well.
The only downer was the ridiculous "I'm a powerful skinwalker, so I'm going to waste a lot of physical energy by tying this guy up so I can punch him in the gut". Mostly the imagery of the skinny blond wailing on him and looking rather silly doing it.
eta forgot about the dead-uncle thing. Wasn't the phrase more like "When you self-defensed your uncle to death"? (There were several remarks on this incident, the skinwalker said something about it that I forget) Which leaves it open to the uncle's body being intact, erm, I guess. But also means that the uncle was trying to kill Harry. So if then, why not now? (if it's still the same guy).
Can you kill someone in self-defense if you are not the specific target (say, Harry killing Uncle Justin who is trying to kill Pa Dresden?)

The High Council thing was the only thing that struck a sour note with me. Whenever I hear about some kind of wizardly oversight body, I think of Bewitched.

In the books, Harry's on "probation" from the High Council due to killing his uncle.

Wow, all the spec about Starbuck's painting and the Eye of Jupiter all so true. Does that mean that she is a Cylon? Or is she some descendent of the original programmer?

In the books isn't it the White Council not the High Council? Or am I misremembering or possibly confusing the White Court with the council?

hmm, Sumi, you might be right.
