I liked this Morgan too.

Also, the BSG bonus scene was cute.

In that final scene between Laura and Bill, I was yelling at the TV--"Kiss her again, you old fool!!" This dance they do is fun to watch, but oh, the UST! And I also loved that bonus scene, because (a) hello, Felix!, and (b) it proved that we the audience aren't the only ones observing that dance.

Next week's preview looked interesting. I love that they're bringing back Tyrol's unionizing on New Caprica.

Zenkitty, (and anyone else) just to help me along, why did you like this Morgan over the book Morgan?

Even barring the books, the interview at scifi.com had him stating that he considered himself a mentor-figure, and he seems of an age with Harry-- even younger, perhaps. I'm still working on my brain with a prybar IRT Morgan, so it may take me a day or so to formulate a coherent opinion of TV!Morgan.

I actually enjoyed this week's Dresden quite a bit. I still think the replacements for Harry's rod and staff look really silly, but an overall enjoyable episode. And Harry getting conked on the head for his over-zealous sense of chivalry is classic Dresden. Interesting story, some great humor, and Harry actually does quite a bit of magic (even if the tracking spell got sort of merged with potion making.)

Morgan is apparently a very different character from the books, but it doesn't bother me too much.

BSG was pretty good, even if it felt very filler-tastic, and I agree the deleted scene was highly amusing.

Book!Morgan would have never helped Harry, even when he said please. Of course, Book!Morgan would have also solved the situation by taking Sarta's (or whatever his name was) head from his shoulders, followed by Matthew's. Well, provided he wasn't too busy trying to prove Harry was the murderer to notice them in the first place.

I could definitely see where the actor got the mentor idea in the interview, as TV!Morgan was definitely trying to lead Harry's thought process along. Which is kind of disappointing. So far TV!Harry hasn't presented himself as the greatest of detectives. Book!Harry tends to have his own share of dumb luck to get through cases, but he can still detect circles around Book!Morgan. So I find it rather annoying that TV!Morgan seems to be a better investigator than TV!Harry. Especially since that's Harry's gig.

TV!Morgan is a more likeable character (though he's hardly warm and fuzzy) than Book!Morgan, but I think I prefer Book!Morgan as a foil for Harry.

I liked that Harry's issue with electronics was used in this episode, but I wish that they had elaborated on it. I'm sure that people who don't know the series think that he cast a specific spell .

I liked that too, but I think you're right. (And if he used incantations in the show like he does in the book, it would clarify matters.)

Windi, it wasn't light, as such, but there was some funny, and it was ultimately very satisfying.

Also, Bob is a big ol' perv. Of which I approve.

Ok, thanks, this was the info I needed. It sounds like I shall enjoy this episode, but at another time. We settled on an episode of Family Guy.

Juliebird, granted I haven't read all the books yet, but so far, BookMorgan seems to hate Harry with an irrational passion. I think he's a nutcase who can't see any reality past what he's already decided is true. Which means he reminds me of someone (issues much?), and I don't like him. TvMorgan seemed more reasonable. His immediate reaction upon finding Harry with the charred corpse wasn't "You must have done this!" but "Why should I think you didn't do this?" which is a lot saner. TvMorgan was relatively easily convinced Harry didn't do it, which means he doesn't have a personal vendetta against him, which is a great relief to me. Also, TvMorgan was willing to go rather out of his way to help out, which made me like him. I can see why the antagonism between them might be there, but it doesn't make me want to beat either of them over the head.

I didn't think Morgan seemed significantly younger than Harry. He carried himself like he had experience. I was glad he didn't feel he had to wave the sword around to back up his authority. I didn't get the sense that he was a better investigator than Harry, or that he was investigating anything beyond his job as a Warden. Harry's the one who brilliantly figured out where the chain was hidden, and came up with the plan to get Matthew free and safe. Left up to Morgan, Matthew would have been given back to the devil.

And I'm starting to like the drumstick and hockey stick. When Murphy walked into the apartment, gun at the ready, and Harry slinked behind her... drumstick at the ready.... ha! It's a little silly, but as Harry said, elegance is overrated!

Why were the BSG podcasts excessively early the past two weeks and late this week?
