I covered that in the part before the "list." I suppose I should add it to a bullet anyways  :P

 :P

That's what I get for speed-reading your post.

--- Quote from: knnn on January 24, 2012, 02:03:08 PM ---I should also point out that the rival theory that Serack mentions (and to be completely fair, it's one of the inspirations for this theory) belongs to Neuro (link here).  It's the one the famously caused Jim to exclaim:

...I think we all aspire to such greatness.   ;D

Oh my, and here I thought I was being original when I wrote this.  Turns out neuro beat me to it by 2 years.  Although neuro had it tucked away as a detail in a long convoluted neurostyle theory, and I mapped out my reasoning for the theory.

Edit:  Ack, I had links saved to over 20 threads/posts that I found valuable, and my hiatus was so long that all but 5 have decayed...  Time to back up those 5 I guess...

The second reason I brought up Neuro's quote is because it explores a little further how that bargain could have been used to control (or at least limit) Mab.  It's also interesting because it makes an outsider-Scarecrow connection and suggests that it was a BC member/minion rather than under the control of Mab.  The implications (e.g. reasons for killing Glau and unmolested presence in AT) are quite large.

...the first reason is of course to highlight Jim's CIA accusation, something that is so awesome, it made it into the "Dresden Files Purity Test", even though it's a feat that will probably never be duplicated.

Maybe knnn could work on some fine tuning of the "Time Travellin' Harry in PG" theories for me?

Harry is sent back in time by the Gatekeeper to find out more about the Black Council, and the mysterious events which occured in Episode VIII...

 - Why didn't PG GK say more to PG Harry?  Because Future Harry traveled back and told PG GK what to tell himself.  That's why it's really cryptic; because GK didn't know any more than Future Harry told him.
 - Who hits PG Harry in the BB with the other old beat-up car?  Future Harry.  Why?  Slow him down, delay using lil' Chicago. 
 - Why didn't Harry unplug the phone, which ended up disrupting his use of lil' Chicago?  He DID, but Future Harry snuck in and plugged it back in to a) stop him from using lil' Chicago, and b) make sure PG Harry didn't miss Molly's call.
 - Who fixed lil' Chicago?  Future Harry, who must have told Bob not to blab.
 - Who helped Mab run off the BC attackers from Arctis Tor?  Future Harry, a.k.a. Winter Knight.  Thus explaining how Mab really knew he would eventually be W.K.
 - Why did Mab wink at PG Harry as he was escaping? Because she had just winked at him moments before when he left.  Symmetry. 
 - What happened to the athame?  Future Harry took it... Back to the Future <queue theme song>.
