Projections: Time Travel Moving Forward
Lost Merlin:
First, This is not meant to upset anyone or start a argument. (Yes, I know things that start with this sentence usually end in arguments any way) Secondly, I want honest answers of what we think Jim will do not necessarily your own pet theories that you wish would come true.
Okay, My question/projection. How much do you think Time Travel will play a role in the DV/DF moving forward?
My Opinion is that it will not play a huge role. I think that time travel will wrap up some lose ends in the time travel book and not really be heard or used much more then already has been done so (GateKeeper's "Suggestions", Attack in CD).
Please let me know what you think and thanks for keeping it Civil. :)
WereElephant:
Known instances of time magic so far include Proven Guilty (the Gatekeeper's warning to Dresden) and Cold Days (the assault on Demonreach). I'm not up on the short stories like I should be, so if I'm missing something from them, please holler it out.
Depending on how Butcher decides to set up alternate universes in Mirror Mirror, Time Travel might be involved, but I think he'd keep them as separate plot mechanisms. Why use two good magical mechanics in a story when you can milk two stories out of them?
I think Harry will wind up time traveling. There's a law of magic against it, and Harry is oh so good at breaking things...
I don't think it will tie into the BAT unless it's used to correct a mistake that caused the apocalypse, and I hope that doesn't happen.

Honest Answer:
There is a time travel plot on a scale in which someone from the present goes back into the past to assume and become ourMab. Harry will finally figure out who Mab is and of course the person who went back in time to become her.
Hint: Murphy. However, Ms. Duck argued it was Molly.
Griffyn612:
This should be a poll.
I say one time travel story in one book that has no real impact on character origins but reveals some details of events during the series so far.
Talby16:
Honestly, I also think it will only really come into play in the time travel book. IMO time travel is something that should only be used very sparingly.
My pet theory is that he will also time travel at some point in the BAT using what he learned in the TT book to correct a mistake or impart important knowledge to his past self. I'm guessing the grey council or white will figure out they have to break that law and in the course of discussing it they will discover that Harry already broke it.
