Bad Alias:
Thanks Kurtin for the post. Thanks CrusherJen for the links.
KurtinStGeorge:
Here are a couple of other links to a panel Jim was on called The Taxonomy of Villains. These were posted on Jim's website so I thought I would share them with everyone.
See if you can tell when Jim became annoyed with one of the other panelists, as he mentioned during the Q&A session. I noticed it during the talk, but I had a straight on view so it was easy for me to see Jim getting tense, though he did lighten up, as he said in the Q&A.

Thanks for these, I've never really watched them before. I'm kinda curious what got JB so tense.
Bad Alias:
One thing Jim mentioned that I hadn't heard before was his discussion of the Merlin as not a villain because Jim knows his whole story. He said, paraphrasing, that the Merlin was the kind of guy you wish was on the other team and something about "I will make you ready."
This has implications for the theory that Harry going to Chichen Itza was part/one of the Merlin's plan to kill the Red Court "root and branch." I mean, what's the best way for the Merlin to get Harry to do something? Probably to forbid it.
KurtinStGeorge:
I'm glad you spotted what Jim said about the Merlin, I totally forgot he said that.
For a long time I have thought that if the Merlin wanted Harry to attack the Red Court, it wasn't because he thought Harry would destroy them, it was so Harry would create enough damage before going down, the White Council would be able to mop up a weakened and disorganized Red Court. Essentially Langtry set up Harry and company as suicide shock troops, thus (attempting) to kill two birds with one stone.
