Yeah, that was something that bothered me. How did the dragon know that they would run to Harry, and how did the dragon know who Murphy was and that she meant something to Harry. And, how did the dragon get a gun to shoot the warden? I mean, dragons may be shape shifters, but they can't create objects, can they?

TDF:

I love the idea that Ancient Mai is a dragon. (I don't recall if that's in the books.)

Nope. In the books there's no indication that Mai is anything more than a really old human wizard. And book!verse dragons are scary powerful.

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."

I did too. I also loved: "I don't always blow things up." "No, sometimes you light them on fire!" Which, as hilarious as it was, is far more fitting for book!Harry than TV!Harry.

So, is next weeks ep, the finale, always intended as the finale?

No clue. The order is so jumbled at this point I don't think the producers even know anymore.

I think Matt's right, having read three of the books. The Wardens are the police/enforcer arm of the Hi-C.

Can't speak for the TV!verse, but in the book!verse, this is the way of things. (Well, in the book!verse, the White Council refers to all wizards in the world who are recognized by the Council, whereas the actual leadership is called the Senior Council) In fact, there's no indication that any of the current Senior Council members were ever Wardens, or if there's even been a Warden on the Senior Council (though I would be suprised if it's never happened.)

TDF:

I liked the episode, although I thought there was a little too much hitting the viewer over the head with backstory. I'm sad that the interactions between Murphy and Bob weren't really Murphy. They have some chemistry, and I hope maybe next season (is there going to be a next season?) they'll get to interact some more.

Blood Ties:

I was reading Tanya Huff's blog on the Lifetime Channel's tie-in page, and came across the following trivia -- the director of Sunday night's episode was Allan Kroeker. Which I didn't notice at the time. He has of course also directed many other things, and for our purposes here, these include the wondrous "Ariel," "Faith" from SPN, 2 eps of BSG, 2 eps of The Inside, and an ep of Wonderfalls. As I said, trivia.

I think my favorite scene from that episode was Henry and Immanuel (Emmanuel? I'm not sure how to spell that), the vampire and the incubus, comparing notes on how women and their approaches to women have changed over the centuries. It was pretty much a throwaway scene, but it was funny.

I have very delicate wrists.

I loved that scene, too, Morgana.

That was hilarious!! Especially when they were talking about "after a couple of hundred years, that gets old" and "women today have no sense of romance" of course, Immanuel can visit me ANY time. I'm frustrated! I have longing!

I actually really like the chemistry between Mike and Henry. I ultimately like show Mike better, because his jealousy also includes genuine caring for her and worrying about her safety. Plus, there are things I don't like about TV Henry, I feel like he's slyer, and more inclined to trickery and deceit. Not so much from book Henry.

Heh, here's a link to a scare-o-meter rating page with kid's comments for Dr. Who: [link]

SO FUNNY. They are Buffistas in training, especially the oldest one.

I wish they hadn't stopped doing those. I was always entertained.

ETA: Oh wait! they haven't. They just stopped putting them on the easy reference page.
