I'm amused at the All along the Watchtower stuff. Especially since I made this quick-and-dirty music video of the season two final three minutes last year.

Jessica, I'm thinking the same thing: the final five (assuming that Kara is one of them) are activated by closeness to Earth so their mission has something to do with earth.

And was "All Along the Watchtower" one of the songs in the Voyager space probe?

Welcome, maggiesox. We hardly ever bite new people. Well, unless they like that sort of thing.

Wikipedia entry for "All Along the Watchtower.

I love Claudia Black like nobody's business, but Claudia, honey--you gotta work on that accent. It's still wrong.

I think her American is better than Ben's ,strike>Sebacean Australish.

This and This.

But what was more wrong than that was seeing Jeffrey Spender all bronzed and oiled up and if I put my hand over his face I didn't mind it too much.

Really liked Lee's speech, the way it was written and the way Bamber delivered it (loved Lee's whole pissed-off/petulant attitude when he first gets in the witness box "I SO do not want to be here!")

I thought Claudia was a lot of fun on Dresden Files last night. It amused me to have English Paul and Australian Claudia doing their American accents to each other.

And did any book folks wonder if having the incubus be what it was mean that there won't be any White Court Vampires ? So no Thomas Raith ? Which would make me sad. . . who would you cast as Thomas ?

Couldn't there be different species of them?

Welcome maggiesox! Whether your theory is right or not, the very fact that you thought of it makes you fit right in around here.

I adore Claudia Black, and I swear I did not notice her accent at all. I thought her character was really interesting too. Hope we see more of her.

From what Robert Hewitt has said on the Butcher Board about Dresden Files: if there's a second season, they're probably going to bring in Thomas. They've already got Black Court and Red Court, he hasn't said if they're going to do White Court, but he hasn't ruled it out either.

The incubus was gross ("What the HELL was that?") and I'm a little peeved that they used my favorite symbol (triskelle) for the "incubatic portal". But I'll forgive them. Eventually.

I was really surprised that Harry didn't recognize the triskelle as a symbol of power. It's pretty basic.

Maybe he recognized it, just didn't know what it was being used for.

I get the feeling that while Harry's a powerful wizard, he doesn't have a lot of "book learning", and certainly not a lot of experience. Insiders said the backstory is that he was trained by Bob, under Justin's orders, since he was about 12, so Bob may not have been inclined to do the best job of it, at least back then.
