new mirror mirror idea

--- Quote from: spiritofair on February 11, 2020, 07:25:24 PM ---In re-listening to Grave Peril, I latched onto Lydia's prophecy that she told Harry near the beginning of the book. The prophecy fits with the story of the book, but also seems to set up the entire series. It's pretty cool...
"Fire," she whispered. "Wind. I see dark things and a dark war. I see my death coming for me, out of the spirit world. And I see you at the middle of it all. You're the beginning, the end of it. You're the one who can make the path go different ways."
The last one, about Harry being the beginning and end of it and he can make the path go different ways... hell, it feels like it could refer to Mirror Mirror where Jim has said that the premise is that Mirror Harry made a different choice in Grave Peril...

I am assuming that his choice had far reaching implications, that is why to me something really
bad is going to happen with the Fomor in Peace Talks that makes Harry wish he hadn't triggered the events that led to the death of the Red Court and the rise of the Fomor.. However my guess is he is going to learn that further down the line it would have been a lot worse if the Red Court survived and the Fomor stayed in the background.. Cannot imagine at this point what that would be, but perhaps they are really good at fighting Outsiders and are immune to Nemesis?

Oh, I had never thought about that. What if they were a team and red court was planning assault and white council/mortal world at the same time the Fomor would have attacked their old enemy the Fey to take over the near part of g tv he never never. Would have prevented the fey/council cooperation that helped defeat the red court

I think the "far reaching implications" is implicit in the premise of Mirror Mirror!
But I'm expecting a real "butterfly effect," like the butterfly-wing that launches a hurricane. The "choice" will seem small -- will seem to have been small, at the point of divergence; with effects that snowball further and further and further -- but in retrospect the consequence will be huge.

@Mira: Kind of like It's a Wonderful Life.

With less warm&fuzzy Jimmy Stewart.
But yeah, I have been looking at some likely parallels to IaWL, in addition to the ST TOS episode Mirror Mirror.
