Bradley, A Canidate For the Sword of Love?

[Mira]

I'm not sure how dangerous being in I.A. is. Most on duty deaths of cops are traffic accidents. That means most of the risk goes out the window when you're not spending all day on patrol in your car.

He wasn't always an A.I., and he still swears an oath.

He probably wasn't always a single father.

  What has that to do with the price of tea in China?

Because the point I'm making is that if he's a single dad, he might very well have transferred to IA to avoid being in dangerous situations, in order to stay safe for his daughter.  If that's the case, then he wouldn't necessarily jump into sure danger as a KotC.

This.

Honestly, I'm ambivalent on what happens with Bradley. I don't really see KotC in his future, but Mira's right that there's sufficient groundwork so that it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up being Harry's contact in SI for 5 years or so, and he slowly became comfortable dealing with the supernatural. Like both Butters and Murphy did.

It also makes sense that he'd start looking for a job in Hawaii if they transferred him to SI.

Yup.  From a writer's perspective, JB spent too much time reminding the reader that Bradley is a good fighter for it to be completely irrelevant.  And maybe he'll get involved, and maybe even take up Amoracchius.  But I'm currently more inclined to think that it would be a slow build for him, with him maybe repaying the debt he owes Harry by training people how to fight.  Especially if Harry starts running a survivalist training camp out of his castle.

I'm not sure if Jim can pay off all the threads he's laid out in the books. Which is fine. The best stories are never finished. Sometimes someone comes back to try, and it just ruins everything. I'm looking at you Star Wars films not 4-6.

Hey, Rogue One was great. And that was the least necessary one out of all of them.

This is a good idea too (the training or some help around these lines)

It was the only necessary one, it made the great flaw of Star Wars, the capability of a single small ship to destroy the Death Star it’s great virtue, it was sabotage all along and the secret bought at great cost of life.

[Dina]

Yes, and it was very, very good. (on a side note, I also liked SW:Rebels)

[The_Sibelis]

He has soulgazed Harry, he has seen his inner Sharknado.

true, but whatever he saw also made him decide to let Harry go do what he needed. Maybe he saw a monster like most seem to, but he saw a monster with a purpose.

[Bad Alias]

Fine, fine. Numbered Star Wars movies not 4-6. SW: Rebels wasn't a movie.

It was just a side note  I know what you meant.

[Bad Alias]

Yeah. There's plenty of good to excellent SW content that isn't any of those terrible, awful, no good movies.
