Harry's murders of Non-humans! (Cold Days spoilers)
wildone654:
I think Harry was counting on some one saying "how are you going to stop us?" and that that person had enough bad karma on his score card to warrant the bbq treatment. Maybe a moral gamble, but I was totally ok with it.
Discussion Bored:
Can someone clarify the rules of immortality in regards to the fae, or in the DV in general? Do you have to have a powerful mantle? IIRC, Harry thought it was impossible to kill Maeve initially. The same goes for the creatures on Demonreach (they would return eventually). I'm wondering at what point creatures get the ability to come back from something like what Harry did at the party.
Thanks.
Spaced Cowboy:
Thought it was both justified and the right (only ?) thing to do at the time. Wasn't bothered even slightly by Harry's actions then. He was being all alpha male, protecting his vulnerable female partner, and laying down a marker in an author-described first-day-in-the-prison-yard scenario.
Harry's not all sweetness and light, he lives on the borderlands between good and evil because he's a vector for beneficial (at least from our perspective) change. Such change never happens in the fixed and rigid domain of order and good, neither does it happen within the churning domain of chaos and evil, it needs elements of both chaos and order to construct the change that's needed from the situation that things are in.

I only recall a quote about how immortals are born on Halloween off the top of my head, not sure if that helps.
