What is a WAG theory?
Wild A$$ Guess
And I will be following Serack's example once I have worked out my answers.The Questions:
1 ) Harry usually has a few supporting characters in each book. Who do you think will be the main sidekick in Cold Days and in what way will they help? Who else will have a significant contribution to the plot?
I really feel like it will be someone we haven't met yet. Probably someone from Winter assigned to Harry as an assistant/guide/spy for Mab
2 ) At the end of Ghost Story, Harry has said goodbye to all his friends in Chicago.
a. Who will be the first friend to find out Harry isn't dead?
Butters. Defintely.
b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"?
He has to go with the Gandalf quote. He already did Star Wars in GS
c. Who will have the coolest reaction?
Murphy. Her punching him right in the balls is gonna be hilarious
d. Who will have the most touching reaction?
Again, I'm going to say Murphy. After the ball punching, it's gonna be a really tearjerking scene
- In each case, remember to specify for extra credit.
3 ) In nearly every book, Harry usually comes up with a new powerup/tool/way of making things go boom. Given that he just became the new WK, what new abilities will he rely on and which new ability will be the most useful to him during the story (and how)?
I think it's gonna be a lot of him blending his already powerful armada of attack power. We saw him do it some in Changes, and I think that after being trained up a bit in Mab's boot camp, we are gonna see some pretty spectacular displays of combo magic.
4 ) Harry generally has a "Big Bad" to worry about. In fact, according to the blurb, Harry is going after someone very specific. Who will that enemy be, and how will Harry take him/her/it down?
No idea. And on this one I want to be surprized.
5 ) Harry usually faces some sort of "Choice" in every book. A point where the easy way out will cost his soul/humanity in some way. According to the blurb, this book will be no different. What will be the most crucial "choice" Harry makes?
I'm guessing that a lot of the book has to do with him not wanting to be the Winter Knight. He probably gets an offer, maybe from the baddie he is trying to take down, that would get him out of it.
6 ) As the new Winter Knight, Harry is pretty much garunteed to encounter his Summer counterpart -- Fix. What will their interactions be? Will Fix survive?
Fix will be all smiles and jokes, sorta like "Hey, remember that time I pulled a shotgun on you because I though you might be the Winter Knight. Wasn't that hilarious? Ha?"
Harry will probably enjoy messing with him a bit, but I don't see him taking out Fix unless he absolutely has too.
7 ) Jim has mentioned that it's about time now to start revealing some of the motivations/dealings of the shadowy figures working behind the scenes (i.e. what Harry calls the "Black Council"). What Black Council secrets/actions will be revealed in this book?
Well, I think that a lot of this book is going to be reaching back to the events in PG, when Artics Tor was attacked. I think Mab is going to send Harry after whomever was behind it. And since I'm fairly certain that the BC was behind it, we will get some insights there.
8 ) There are many WAG theories on the boards. Write up to three WAG theories you believe are correct that will be confirmed (or at least have evidence in favor of) in Cold Days.
Pass. Sorry, I'm having to think hard enough to come up with my own WAG theories, all listed above. Count those.
9 ) Extra credit: Write down any prediction about that you think might improve your final score.
Molly kisses Harry right on the lips when she sees him.
Only issues aluded to within Cold Days will be counted.
