DF Reference Collection / Re: [CD spoilers] Mother Winter, the Blackstaff, Death and the Raven Banner

So it is highly likely Mother Winter's lost walking stick is now known as the Blackstaff.  So what would Harry do if Eb were to die (In battle or murdered) and Harry picked up the staff.  Would he accept the post of the new Blackstaff; assuming it was offered to him, or would he return Mother Winter's walking stick to her?

With the first option Harry gets to break all the laws of magic and do everything he despises without going insane.  The second option puts the staff back in the hands of a being that thinks that Mab is too soft.

What if keeping the Blackstaff also enables him to similarly resist the influences of being the Winter Knight (and perhaps Lash?). It would enable him to wield all the various powers he's picked up without falling prey to the Dark Side.

Noryuki "Pat" Morita cannot be Shiro, as he died several years ago.  I don't know if Mako (from the Conan movies) is still alive.  If still kicking, he'd get my vote.

Mako died in 2006, during the time that he was doing voice-work for Avatar.    :(

DFRPG / Re: More Holy Swords Than Three?
« on: April 04, 2011, 07:22:43 PM »
I think it should be only three.  The mythology of the Knights of the Cross is specifically tied to the three nails that Jesus was crucified with, pitted against foes representing the Judas' 30 pieces of silver.  While there are certainly other swords that could be used in the Dresden-verse, they definitely would dilute that mythology.

As for why the Church allows Harry to keep the swords, I think it's been established that the Church doesn't control who wields the swords, but rather has faith that the swords find their wielder.  They take a longer view of the battle.

Age can be dealt with - it's looks and acting chops you need.

Well, I would agree, except that Thomas has to be "the high priest of bowflex", and I'm not certain a 50-year-old would fit that description.  If you remember the nerd-fury because Murphy was a brunette....   :)

Nah, James Marsters.

As Harry or Thomas?  I think he's a bit old for either by now - he's getting close to 50.

Hasn't someone or other said he's Jim's first choice?

Yes, Jim posted that quite awhile ago.

WITH GOOD REASON!

*ahem*  I still say Alexis Denisof is BEST for Harry.

He would be my choice as well.

Lol! Must say, she has exceptional taste. How about Gerard Butler? The other day my dad mentioned his accent for some role and my mom and I both uttered a unison and dreamy "Yeah...". He said he wasn't sure he liked how we said that - I guess he's got the same thing on the mind as you, Bujin. ;)

I'm almost positive that she doesn't know who Gerard Butler is..... we're pretty elderly, and she doesn't really keep up with pop culture stuff.  She does love Scottish accents, though.  She's seen Braveheart at least 6 times, and I doubt it was the plot.

She does indeed have good taste.  Straight or not, Michael Praed was so pretty that I would have given him a second look.   :)

Lol! Well, he is sort of hard to compete with...  :-\

Then again, she'd leave me sooner for Antonio Banderas, or Michael Praed (during his Robin Hood days.)

Eh. I realize that finding the Thomas I visualize is going to be impossible but I still can't accept NPH. Given who Thomas is, the actor we choose should make me have to struggle really hard not to lust and NPH doesn't do that. Matt Bomer does that...but he doesn't look exactly like Thomas looks in my head. I can make the sacrifce for exact appearance easier, though, than I can accept someone who lacks that innate sexual magnetism that is so essential.

My wife would leave me for Matt Bomer in a heartbeat.

"Conventional" works for me.  How about "typical" or "mainstream".

DF Books / Re: Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
« on: August 06, 2007, 09:58:01 PM »
I saw the previews of the series and thought it looked very neat. I then picked up the first couple of books and read them prior to the premier episode of the show.  So I both owe the show for my reading the series, and experienced the book-verse before seeing the show.  :)
