Huh. Rereading his description, Steed sounds an awful lot like an incognito Tenth Doctor. :smallbiggrin:
Also, holy pyrofuego Michael Caine as Morgan would be fantastic. Did Morgan have that old-looking of an appearance, though?
As i remember Morgan were getting into his second century, and he were starting to look rather worn down at the beginning of changes.Quote:

I think Morgan's described even in Turn Coat as having brown hair that's graying. So like, physiologically maybe late 40's, early 50's? (Although I know that 't'ain't necessarily so; my own grandfather was just starting to go gray when he died, at 79.)
It's very hard for me to not picture the version of Morgan from the comics, and that one looks to be early middle-aged, anyway.
It makes me wonder, does Harry still look like a guy in his 20's? He's around 38, right? I think I heard he's supposed to be 25 in Storm Front and Murphy was about 30... Guess we'll find out if she starts complaining about getting older and going, "You still look like a kid, you jerk."
He's starting to complain about stuff like his knees hurting, which would make sense if his aging hasn't started slowing down yet. But the vibe I'm getting is that wizards age naturally till like 40 or 50 and then take a long-ass time to get to being genuinely, physiologically elderly.
Harry has had a life that is comparable in physical damage to that of a professional football player, and often worse. Even if he will get around to healing the damage, it can still cause health problems for him in the "short" term. So bad knees and other general aches and pains makes sense, just like a lot of collage athletes have them.
I think Harry is about 38, but looks older than Thomas (who doesn't even moisturize, the jerk :smallmad:). Of course, Thomas, being a whitepire, probably isn't the best person to compare Harry to.
On the topic of casting, Tom Hiddleston needs to be Thomas. We already know from his roles as Loki that midnight-black hair looks great on him, he's attractive enough for the role, and he's an excellent actor.
He doesn't have a body like the High Priest of Bowflex. Tom Hiddleston is pretty lanky & lean... & a touch feminine. Thomas is pale greek god of sexual virtility & masculine form. Tom might make a good Madrigal, but for Thomas no way. Sorry if anyone here is a fan.
I would like to maybe suggest
Joe Manganiello
or
Wes Bentley
There was another actor, but I can't recall them right now
Robert Pattinson would probably gleefully go for the chance to play one of the evil White Court vampires. :smalltongue:
I noticed (from Jim Butcher's twitter) that both Kindle and Nook are having a 1day sale of the 1st 7 books for 2$ each (USA only I think). If anyone wants to get digital copies.
Or strong-arm friends to finally buy them.
I definitely like Hiddleston for Madrigal. I don't like his nose or lanky shape for Thomas. Thomas is more classically beautiful.
Also Hiddleston always plays slimy jerk roles, and Madrigal is a slimy jerk. :smallwink:
But he's not Johnny Depp! There's, like, some sort of film law that states whenever Helena Bonham Carter is married, it must be to Johnny Depp. :smalltongue:
Also, tidbit I fished up about Bob's appearance from Ghost Story--when Butters is toting him around, he looks like an attractive young man (leather biker jacket with a skull embroidered on it) that Harry hypothesizes takes after younger Butters a little.
That, and Tim Burton needs to be the director.Quote:

Speaking of Bob (who thanks to that description and TVTropes I'm picturing as Tom Felton), would you say he could be an Elemental Weird (MM II 90) with some tweaking?
Third of the way through Cold Days. Hrrrk. I forgot about that scene where Thomas takes Harry to task, when they reunite. That's powerful stuff.
It is. Y'know, the one thing I don't like about Cold Days is that Thomas is the only one who gives Harry crap for letting everybody know that he was only "mostly dead" right away. Even Murphy barely has any reaction, and her whole deal in Ghost Story was coming to terms with it. Yeesh.
I just read the scene where he re-encounters Murphy, actually. It seemed pretty clear that she's had a lot of under-the-surface tensions over that, and she doesn't open up well. That's sorta the way their dynamic has always gone. (Whereas Thomas and Harry had always built up that raw, direct relationship where they go at one another frankly.)
Six days...
Read the preview chapters:
SpoilerButcher if you let ANYTHING BAD happen to Murphy I will...
Probably crawl into a corner and cry. Jim please.
So, book 16 is going to be called Peace Talks.
http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/peace-talks-16
Speculation go!
Too soon?
Maybe some kind of alliance with Lara Raith and/or John Marcone to take down the Fomor? Possibly leading to finally taking her/him down actually? (I'll just leave the meaning of that phrase open-ended, wink wink nudge nudge.) Maybe some kinda plan to get the White Council to stop being medieval, child-murdering pariahs to the rest of the supernatural world?
Lara x Marcone. Now that's a scary relationship to think about.
What's the rotating schedule of primary supernaturals again? Denarians every 5th book, Vampires every 3rd book, Faeries every 4th book, right?
If we keep to that, the Fae Courts will be front-and-center during Peace Talks in some fashion.
Except that even Dresden saw how the killing of warlocks could become nececary, no matter how young they were.Quote:

Involved, sure, but not primary feature. Look at Skin Games...the Fae are 'involved' because he's on the team as Mab's favor to Nicodemus, but the driving faction/person of the plot is Nikky and his Nickleheads. Cold Days was about Outsiders, even though there was a lot of Fae involvement, the internal workings/politics/motives of the Fae Courts didn't provide the central aspect of the plot.
Though admittedly, this same rule says Skin Games should heavily involve both vampires and Denarians, as it is divisible by 5 and 3. So the 'Rule' might have broken down already.
There could always be a "Lara's messing up Chicago" side-plot that factors into Harry's brainfriend-extermination requirements.
