The SPOILERIFIC Ask Robert Wolfe Thread-The Series, in General
Robert Wolfe:
--- Quote from: Mario Di Giacomo on January 22, 2007, 11:42:08 AM ---Only one real question:
Will Harry be doing more magic in later episodes? As a poster on another thread put it, the first ep needed more "earth-shattering ka-boom" :)
--- End quote ---
Yep, more, but never as much as in the books. Creatively, the TV show will be less magic heavy than the books, a little closer to our world. So Murphy is just a detective, there's no SI department that knows about and investigates supernatural cases. Dresden works magic more reluctantly, and it costs him more physically. Magic is hard.
That's not to say we don't have some pretty big magical moments coming up, just don't expect any buildings to blow up this season. Unless they do.

Hey Robert,
A couple of spoileriffic questions here.
1. Is Justin actually supposed to be Harry's Uncle in this series?
That seems to be perfectly valid in the context of Maggie's evil witchery history in the books but it occurred to me that "uncle" is also what a 'too close' friend of the family relation might also be called.
Hell, if Maggie died without ever talking about her family then Justin could show up without ever having to do anything but pretend to be family.
And if its a story point, feel free to just answer with "That would be telling" or "Harry BELIEVES he's his Uncle or thinks of him as one"
2. Is Harry's bad reputation going to be build up slowly with the High Council?
Let's face it, tonight he's interfered with their "Magician Protection Program" for a kid (Justin seems to have a thing for young wizards) and he's peripherally related to a death of their librarian (I almost said Archivist)
I was curious if this was deliberate.
and one odd question.
3. Justin looks like a real wizard. Are most of the older magicians going to be spooky in that respect?
Just curious. Harry and the High Council girl were presumably born in the modern age.

Firstly, was there any presure from the Canadian film board to give it that "filmed in Canada" feel? A lot of Canadian dramas have a certain look and feel to how they translate stories to film and Dresden had that feel to it for me. Hopefully that isn't taken negatively as that was not my intent.
Secondly, as I've read final draft to the Storm Front script, is that being re-arranged as the season final as episodes 10-11 or a possible cliffhanger?
Keep up the great work all of you. I really enjoyed the first episode and look forward to adding it to my collection when released on DVD.
Hawkfu:
Actually I have a question for Robert. First off, thanks for the open dialog with the fans. Seriously cool of you. I'll admit to being one of the not as happy as they wanted to be types - but absolutely staying tuned to see how the show develops.
My question is this, I was just curious why the decision was made to make the show stand alone stories rather than arc based stories? I ask this only because it seems that the landscape of tv has changed a lot and the more arc based storytelling has gained considerable popularity. Shows like Lost, Grey's Anatomy, 24, and Battlestar Galactica are all arc based shows and all very successfull. I was curious why it was decided to take a property that has that already built in and then remove that aspect in favor of stand alone episodes?
Just curious. Thanks for your time.

Robert, is the diner intended to take the place of McAnally's? Will we not be able to sit down to a brew with our mysterious bar owner, Mac?
