Mysteries, Mistakes & Retcon thread?

I mean, there's a whole ton of unanswered things out there that need resolution.  So many that I'm not sure Butcher will remember to answer them all.  (Although for the first few cases its mostly about what Nemesis's goals were, and if it was an N-fected operative, or just an patsy agent of Nemesis.

There have been a few errors and/or retcons the series has made too.  Such as Bianca's assistant's name.  Mort living in a home he apparently vacated, in Ghost Story.  And the recent change where the Denarians hired the Church Mice & not Marcone.

One thing the Reference Collection could definitely use, if it hasn't already got one I can't find:  a thread summarizing the many, many, many secrets which Harry is either keeping or privy to.  In what books does he learn about them; who else knows and when do they find out; whom is he most worried about concealing the truth from; at what point (if any) did the information cease to be secret or relevant?  With so much secret information to keep hidden, even Harry himself must have trouble keeping track of it at times, so we readers could surely use a summary to consult.

Naturally, a thread about this topic would need to be either spoiler-marked in big, black capital letters, or chock full of hidden text with ambiguous headings (e.g. just "Lara" as a heading for the secret that

This one is about to be eaten:

It's not rocket science, but perhaps it is amusing enough?  If not, I'll save the choiciest bits myself.

Note to self and other curators:

http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,43724.msg2113241.html#msg2113241

Lez see if archival of some of these is prudent.

We are coming up on the theory buildup before and after the Skin Game release and need to make sure some of the topics of that time that aren't archived get archived.

I laughed.

And after some thought, I'd like to have a bit more input. 

I've already added the theory to elegast's theory index credited to you, and I'd like to add a link to that as the source, but that's not a good idea if the "source" doesn't get archived.  It seems that others were already thinking it, but that was the first I had seen it and it certainly is the first discussion that had the WoJ backing it.

Makes sense to me, seemed like a bit of a conflict of interest for me to nominate my own theory  :)

Hm. I believe there's:

Jotunheim is Arctis Tor / The jotun guarded the Outer Gates before Winter. (reference)

Donar Vaderrung is actually Thor wielding the Alfather mantle (Donar=Thor, Vaderrung=Youngfather). (reference)

Summer's hidden purpose is to maintain the World Tree. (reference)

Cowl=Cristos.

Harry will mentally time travel ("is unstuck in time") to the events of Proven Guilty.

Thomas is complicit in time travel shenanigans / has future knowledge in Proven Guilty.

Mirror Mirror's darkest timeline will complete a stable time loop that goes back to Grave Peril.

Those are the good, solid theories that I can pull from there now that I've checked out Elegast's index.

My thread has sort of run its course in the spoilers section, but I had a lot of fun making it and put a fair amount of thought into it...perhaps it could be moved here for those who peruse the area to enjoy entertaining mega theories? I know its a bit self serving to offer my own but I think its at least worth the ask  :) Griff and I go into some other theories and scenarios thru the thread as well.

We need to preserve at least one of the old topics about the SG relics possible uses.

Id vote this one, as a recent incarnation:
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,45385.0.html

This one is also on the topic, but its more specific to the Knife=Spear line of thought:
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,45369.0.htmll

Not sure which if any older one's are still around or worth saving.

Just noticed that Prove Guilty Mysteries isn't in here. Been going through my Emporium to make sure all the links got migrated.

(Sidenote-- Serack, I did think of an answer to your Two Mantles Problem with regard to the Time Travel Harry theory, you know besides my Unstuck Harry theory. In The Flash, the Speedforce can only be claimed by one speedster per universe. We see this with Jay Garrick this season on the show, which reminded me of that arcana. The Mantles might work the same way: with Lloyd Slate holding the Mantle, Future Harry will have to do without.)

Also missing is The Starborn Conspiracy, and The Lady and the Knight, which is lost forever. That latter was post about Venus, Adonis, and the Goddess's Champion.

Could you also please unlock my Emporium so I can archive my Thor=Vaderrung and Faith=Free Will Gifting posts somewhere they won't eventually be eaten?
