WAG.... Murphy has moved on
TheCuriousFan:
I'm not sure why you guys are still doing these. You know everyone who will argue for either side, you've seen the arguments from them a dozen times and replied with your own arguments and it never goes anywhere. Are you all just too stubborn to quit?

There is no better alternative. Since book 16 has not been release for so long, we are running out of interesting material to discuss.
The issue of Murphy is about the only thing that can still garner some interest.
I only log in to this forum these last 2 days after missing for almost 3 months. I lurk for a few minutes during every other weeks and I discover that Murphy's issue is about the only thing that can drag a thread for more than 5 pages.
It is better than total absence.

Well it's been 12 pages of mostly polite discussion. People are active, and involved. I prefer that to the place being empty, and not much talk at all.

Now I know that most people don't believe in the theory of Murphy being Mab. That being said does anyone else find it curious that Murphy, and her sister have a messed up relationship similar to Mab, and Titania? Mab and Titania's fallout was over a man. Murphy's ex husband married her younger sister (That has got to cause friction). Not saying there is a connection, although it is I dunno, weird. Kind of like Harry's path seems similar to Merlin's.

Murphy is Mab is a bit far fetch for my taste. Murphy taking up the mantle of one of the queens of faerie in the future however, well that is worth contemplating.
If Murphy continue to stay around Harry, she might be dragged into the political power struggles of the fae realms. She already garnered some attention from Gard, and by extention Vadderung. Which menat she is in Kringgle's radar and if Mab does not at least notice her, Mab is an idiot and an idiot Mab is not.
I think the only reason why Murphy is not yet dragged into the whirlpool is maybe due to her position as the sword's custodian. She is TWG's half employee so to speak. Her pure vanilla status also prevents many macanations thrown her way. In many ways, vanilla is rather protected in the DV.
This is why I never wanted Murphy to be in the frontlines in future books, and try to avoid greater powers like Mab as much as possible. Without a power up, Murphy going to the frontlines is courting death.
Besides, with Butters gone and taking up knight duties, there is a vaccume in the logistics, research and intelligence areas of team Dresden. Murphy is the right person for the job. Connecting and communicating with the powers of the government is another important duty. Murphy herself may be out of the force, but the Murphy clan is not. If Harry ever play outside of Chicago, the Murphy clan can be extremely useful.
It is predicted that the supernatural will end up going out of the closet, either during the BAT or before the BAT. The events after changes and during GS already strains the limits of mortal willingness to ignore the supernatural. When this happens, having someone familiar with the government, someone who's clan has many members inside the system, that will be a major boon.
It is best that Murphy does not die before that.
