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. (These are not spoilers. Backstory freely available on the SciFi board and Butcher Board. I read them so you don't have to!)
That wasn't the incubus --that was the incubus' soul.
Which was icky.
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.
or, Bob may have been instructed to keep things from Harry so that he wouldn't get too powerful on his own.
I love Claudia Black like nobody's business, but Claudia, honey--you gotta work on that accent. It's still wrong.
Oh, lord. I'm in complete agreement. I ♥ her dearly, but... ouch.
I think her American is better than Ben'sSebaceanAustralish.
Damning with faint praise? Heh.
Anne, I'm with you on not being totally convinced that they're Cylons, but I hope they are.
or, Bob may have been instructed to keep things from Harry so that he wouldn't get too powerful on his own.
This, yes, even more likely.
Incubus baby. Aaaaand eew. Poor Bob. Talk about getting the heebie-jeebies.
I believee I will like this episode even better upon rewatch. Harry taking all the bomb's energy and then collapsing and babbling was cute. "I don't have any rabbits..." And loved how Liz just went with the whole wizard thing.
Claudia Black automatically makes everything more awesome, weird accent or not.
