Discontinuity = clue? [GS sample ch spoilers]

<< < (19/26) > >>

Airborne248:
Butcher said in an interview it was something like the transition between Back to the Future II and III. 

There could be time travel, or it could be that time moves differently in the afterlife.  Maybe Harry Sam Beckitted himself into that particular time to resolve the issue before it happened?

Watch him come back to life and have the White Council on his ass for violating the policy on changing history :)

Kettu:
Another discrepancy: the bonsai. I'm not an expert on them or anything, but I do know enough to know that it takes considerably longer than just a few years to grow them to look like miniature trees if you start with a seed or even a little sapling. Like decades, at least.

Maybe the japanese garden is a ghost, too. :)

I thought about it, too, but Morty could just keep the bonsai trees in his backyard until they're fully developed or something.

Well, it the balance is an unstable equilibrium, any amount of power could disrupt it.

Sure. Or he could have bought them ready-grown over the Internet. I just thought I'd mention them since they may point to Harry not perceiving things as they really are in the world of the living.

derrick:
Looking back on Small Favor, the lack of fire magic, his missing blasting rod, and his treatment of Michael is totally out of character for Harry.  If the discontinuity of some things in Ghost Story is anything like the way JB messed with our heads (via Harry's) in Small Favor, then I'm going to have a few headaches fitting everything together.
