Un-asterisked!

But, Uther = Michael?  Other than being the Carpenter kids' father, I don't really see the connection- after all, he wielded Amoracchius in his own right.

But, better not to start discussing here, or this thread will grow into a mutant hydra.  :D

Do you have your entire King Arthur theory up somewhere so I can go have a look?  I keep getting bits and pieces everywhere, and it's making me curious.

I did years ago, but then Jim torpedoed most of it with a comment about lea; I will have to re write it.

maybe next week..It ussualy takes me a few hours to write one down cause I like having all my backup quotes ready and in line.
Yeah, but Germans and Hungarians don't pull people's theories out of their sockets when they're challenged.  Ducks are known to do that.

We know that somebody will pick them up before the BAT, and that Amoracchius, at least, will survive until the beginning of the BAT.

Oh, OK, I'd not seen that. Another notion down in splinters; by the Law of Conservation of  Loony Theory, I am due inspiration any minute now.

Yeah, that's what I get for digging into the cat food, huh?

Wondered if you'd catch that.  ;D

If it relates to sushi in any way, I will most likely catch it.

Whose voice does Harry hear at the end?

I don't know about the female voice, but wasn't the male, "DIE ALONE" Cassius?  In Dead Beat, he tells Harry, "DIE ALONE!" just before Mouse kills him and Harry was hit with "a flood of power".  I thought it was some kind of a curse.

*edited because now I have my book and had to get the details right.

Yes, the "die alone" was Cassius.  The female voice is the unknown one.  I'll edit the post for clarity, thanks for pointing it out.

OK here's a silly thought that hit me while I was in the bath.

Why is Harry so tall?

I don't remember either of his parents being described as especially tall, and I have always imagined Ebenezar as being rather short but I can't remember if thats actually in the books or if it's just me. Now of course it is possible to be very tall and have averaged sized parents but hight is a genetic trait so tall people often have at least one tall parent.

Actually, Malcolm is described as being tall, I can't find the quote right now though.

Was Tolkien 'inspired' like Stoker and Lovecraft?

How is it that Sanya just happened to be in town in Changes?  Nothing particularly dark or Hellish occurred onscreen...

Was this from Kincaid's comment about being a human as Harry?

I think Tolkien being important in-universe is unlikely, since the previous Summer Knight's name, Ronald, Reuel, was a shout out to Tolkien.  As for Sanya, I just put that down to vague heavenly interference- was there something unusual about his showing up?

I'm not sure about Harry's height, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary for wizards- the Gatekeeper is seven feet tall, after all.
