Great episode! And we don't KNOW she's a dragon. It's implied. Or inferred. Somebody on the Butcher Board suggested it a while back, too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah. Excellent.
I have to say that the dragons in "The Gift" were better than the one in this episode.

I was busy eating my body weight in steak and then trying to walk it off, so I'll have to catch the 11pm CST showing.

I watched Dresden. I'll give Murphy a pass in this episode, since it turns out it wasn't really her, but I'm getting awfully tired of her saying "This can't really be happening!" and "This can't be real!" If she's going to continue as more-or-less a sidekick character to Harry, she needs to get past the geewhiz part of things sooner or later, especially since she's seen enough of them now.
On a completely superficial note, does Morgan own a suit in any other shade than brown, or is that a uniform of some sort? Of course, it does look damned spiffy on him.

I was intrigued by all the Morgan character moments we saw. However, I still didn't come away feeling that I understood why Harry is so despised by the other wizards, who at least in the person of Ancient Mai seem at least ethics-neutral.

Doctor Who 3.02 - I agree with everybody else! A nice romp, lots of fun. I liked the Potter stuff a lot too. Also, given that Liz the First recognises the Doctor instantly, and that there doesn't seem to be another Tudor episode scheduled this season, would it be reading too much into it all to assume that David T. is going to stay on and they'll be doing the explanation for the antipathy in Season 4...? He does seem to have a knack for pissing off female English monarchs.
Also, never mind that WS wrote Hamlet afterwards, what about the obvious - Macbeth?! I'll never look at the three wyrd sisters the same way again.

TDF: I was actually really enjoying this ep (I called "Dragon!" to my cat the second I heard about the green fire), and then the big fakeout was revealed, and all the progress made with Murphy is undone, grrr. I felt so cheated (even if it did explain some of the awful lines coming out of her mouth) but it was also good, because I never once suspected her.
Loved loved loved Harry's "Really? Cuz sometimes I scare the hell out of myself" in response to Morgan's "You don't scare me, Dresden."
Wasn't a big fan of the execution of the freeze-frame in the beginning, or the narration for the beginning of each act. The narration seemed redundant and rushed and then I don't realize that it's stopped and I should be listening to the scene now.
the dragon cgi was only marginally better than the werewolves, its only saving grace was how they tried to not show it at all and kill it real quick-like.
So, is next weeks ep, the finale, always intended as the finale?

Having just seen the SG-1 cliffhanger with its stunted gargoyledragon in reruns, the Dresden one looked pretty impressive in comparison. At least they managed the impression of looming bulk and kept it mostly in the shadows.

Sometimes less is more, especially when you don't have Peter Jackson's budget for SFX.
This episode was a Robert Hewitt Wolfe script, so I'm not surprised I liked it more than a lot of the other eps. I wish he actually wrote the entire season a la Straczynski.

Yes, when I saw that Robert Hewitt Wolfe was the writer for this episode I was very happy.
Did I mention here how sad Iwas that Murphy doesn't know yet? I so wanted real Murphy to know.
(I went back and added the name of the show to my posts. It is difficult to remember to do.)
