Favorite theory that they could discuss all night long.

 My favorite theory is Cowl/Kumori=Simon/Elaine. Raidem loves his Mab=Murphy. So, who has a favorite theory that can discuss all night long.

[Con]

Lash=Reaper is my definite favourite.
Then Mac=Angel or Manannan Mac Lir
Next is Harry's journey to the other side and what it portends as hinted at by conversations with Lash, Vadderung and Rashid.

I am a big fan of anything Maggie Sr-related. Her involvement in dark matters accounts for many of Harry's problems; his attitude accounts for the rest.

[raidem]

My early TT theory for Maggie Sr is that she is a time traveling, alternate reality hopping kumori with senior mentor cowl. (Simon?, Lord raith)

So, her interactions with Harry begins hope that there is a better way forward than the path she chose.

My favorite Maggie Sr theory is she's stuck in the role of Nemesis after she died(like lash became the reaper) Mainly because Morgana la fey's Atheme ended up being important connection to N, Her 'La fey' heritage may mean she ended up with similar connections, other reasons.
This is why N is going soft on Dresden, she's confuzzling the rules and laws because she loves him.

I could discuss any theory all night long or at least nod in the right places while the majority of the discussion happens over my head. I am partial to the "Mac=Angel" theory and the "Warden of Demonreach being a mantle that Harry has not fully explored yet" theory.

I have two that I like...
1) Simon = Cowl
2) Hades/Earl King (Similar to Odin/Santa/Vaderung) are mantles held by one entity. We just haven't learned his version of Vaderung yet, but I think we may have a chance of learning this when we see the wrestlers.

my favorite theory is that the Calvin and Hobs book found by harry in Small Favors belongs to a time Traveling Maggie, Mouse and Bonnie. who time traveled into Harrys basement to use  Harrys replica of little Chicago. I am hoping that this will be addressed in the YA fiction series that Mr. Butcher is co-writing with his sister.

I try to figure out what is the catalyst event that starts the BAT.
1. Death of Merlin
2. Prison break on Demonreach
3.Something with Nico and the Grail
4.Death of Mab
5.Outsiders get through.

The connection of the horsemen plus judge hidden along the story and set up.

Simon is Cowl, Time Travel Harry repaired Little Chicago.

Simon is Cowl, Time Travel Harry repaired Little Chicago.

Time travel caused Little Chicago is preferable to me. Bunch of energy to one spot, way portal through time and space with thaumaturgical connection to Chicago of now/then?

I think that Harry, and Merlin are walking similar paths, and that history may be repeating itself in such a way as humanity's survival is tested from time to time, and a champion emerges/created to protect the realm of Earth.  Harry is that champion.

Ditto. that is the essential basis of most of my theory as it ties itself together.

[wardenferry419]

Considering how often Harry has suggested that the original Merlin must have been a real jerk, it would be hilarious for Harry to find himself in similar situations.
