There's has to be a part for Bruce Campbell some where?In wise ass mode, he could be the voice of Bob.
I think Michael was committed to ending him by that point. He's smart enough to realize that ice wouldn't hold Nic forever once Anduriel set his attention to freeing him.Except killing a helpless opponent whom he's supposed to be trying to save would be passing judgement, and we all know what that does to holy swords.
My question is why Harry's spell hurt Nic so badly. We've seen him heal from gunshots to the chest quickly, but Harry's fastball to the ribs slowed him down dramatically. Why didn't the noose protect him from the harm caused by Harry's snowball?At that point, things were happening pretty fast. He might have been healing but there just hadn't been enough time for it to be enough to matter.
A) Harry doesn't know a single person with access to a computer and the ability to use one? He couldn't write the appropriate information down and then have, say, Murphy take a jaunt down to the local library and create a Yahoo page to post the info on? or wikipedia?or just get an article published in the Enquirer, "Judas Coin Caused Black Plague", and explain the deal about the fallen angels that are so evil that only objects tainted by the vilest act of treachery would be corrupted enough to hold them.
B) The conspiracy theorist place would be the absolute BEST thing! The more often it gets repeated/blogged/reposted would spread it more...and really, the Church is the only entity that would really require it...so simply have an edict from the Pope saying "Every catholic church must keep this file on their server"...literally millions of copies for the KotC
Frankly, he had a good shot in the vault and he missed it by using the wrong spell. When Nic was busy fighting Michael and Harry tagged him by surprise with the ice cannonball that broke a couple ribs, he could have done something a lot better - iced him from the neck down like he did to the tongueless goons who disrespected Mab, and set Michael up to take his head off.The one problem here is that once Nic was helpless, Michael would have started talking to him again, trying to save him. Harry would have had to do the ice spear trick then run over and grab the noose. Or the frigidus-forzare combo and then picked up the noose from the Nic chunks.
I get why it was necessary for Nicodemus to escape for literary reasons, but it's a bit jarring for Harry to jump so sharply between monologing about Hannah's problem being she wasn't prepared enough to be creative with her magic and then missing an easy victory option himself.
What did you think of my Claudia Shiffer suggestion.For some reason I can't find pics from when she was young.
As an American, I can definitively state not even all Americans would get it. I know the phrase, but I've never really been clear on whether it's a good or a bad thing to be built like a brick ****house. I mean, on one hand, I'd rather that then something easily tipped or otherwise destroyed, but on the other, it could totally be interpreted to mean someone who is built blockily and sturdily and not particularly conventionally prettily. (Someone saying this in admiration could simply be commenting on strength, not hotness.) I never interpreted it as meaning "constructed of superior quality than necessary".That's what it means, though. Definitely a compliment.
ya, I always hated that description of her. I mean, Commodores aside, when I think of a Brick House words like square, blocky, rough, durable and utilitarian come to mind. Not much of anything that would apply to most normal images of Feminine Beauty. More like Prof. Pounder than Molly.It comes from "brick shit-house", which is to imply that it is built far better than it needs to be, since outhouses are made to be torn down and moved every so often. The Commodores put a musical space in there as self censoring of the expression.
That's the problem. Doing that could put the remaining Sword in his care, plus the other relics in danger since he is their caretaker. So it isn't as simple as that I don't think.The sword is only in danger if you use it improperly. He's done lots of violence while their caretaker before and they were just fine. He didn't have to become a pacifist to be their caretaker.
Don't know of coins can change genders, so I think Thomas and Eb are safe.
... Huh? Lasciel is identified as female and we spend five books watching her try to get Harry to partner with her.
Lasciel was distinctly female... We don't know the gender of Deidre's Fallen one.Mira, Foxed is pointing out that Lasciel, a distinctly female Fallen, has been trying to recruit Harry, a distinctly male wizard, for literally years, so there is no question about gender being an issue. It obviously is not.
I think that may be partly because of Harry's POV, in which he is actively trying to not notice her, but still does anyway, and is made uncomfortable by it. If you take the Svartalves reaction in Bombshells as more objective, she is model quality of some flavor at the very least."brick supermodel".
I think Nicodemus will thank Harry the next time they meet. Sort of the way Bianca told Harry he was the inspiration for her gaining power. Nic will probably tell Harry that he rediscovered how to rely on his own skills and how having an entourage of followers was convenient, but ultimately held him back. Nic enjoys getting under Harry's skin. Letting Harry know that he (Nicodemus) hasn't been beaten, that he still in the game, will get under Harry's skin by both pissing Harry off and scare him at the same time...and then Harry'd take the damn noose away and snap his neck like a dry twig. I don't doubt for a second that now that he knows what Anduriel can do, he won't prepare for him. Harry is willing to kill. Taking Nic out once and for all would simply be practical.
