The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Peace Talks Trailer.
Bad Alias:
I've been on the good ship S.S. Elaine for a long time. I freely admit that ship seems to be sinking fast. Can we knock off the spoilerizing? If someone's gotten this far down the thread, they've likely read everything or stopped.
Yuillegan:
Okay, so a few things.

1. I think he killed one of Marcone's people. I think it might even be Hendricks, who is strangely absent from the trailer. Also it can't be Gard, as she is in the trailer with Harry when Harry says "Oh Thomas"
2. I would say that they get close, but knowing the Dresden Files...probably no home run. Such is Harry's life.
3. What Titan? My bad, I hadn't read the Battle Grounds description. Assuming they mean traditional Greek Titans rather than the Dnd sort, there are many probabilities. Rhea (Queen), Gaia (technically a Progenoi...), Hecate (this is difficult, as most think it is either one or several or all of the Fae Queens - not for nothing was she mentioned in Skin Games...but that might also be a red herring), Tethys (the River Goddess), Phoebe, Leto etc. But what if the clue is in the name? Titania - and Summer declares war on Chicago. Jim did once say that Titania was heavy duty AND she just lost her second daughter AND if Summer won in Summer Knight Bob thought that global warming and increased pathogens were on the cards (sounds a bit too real).
On the other hand, the Last Titan is described as worse than Outsiders and the Red Court and Fallen Angels (specifically of the Blackened Denarius). Which Titania (from what we gather) is not, Mab certainly isn't. Unless the Last Titan is all the Summer Queens. I am getting a bit tinfoil hat here.
Also - The giant footprint at the end of chapter one? With a three foot length, I would roughly say the being in question is around 16 feet tall (give or take). The Fomor had plenty of regular giants in the roster originally, and in Cold Days are said to be related to the Jotun. Although it could be the Last Titan.
Arjan - Why must the assassin be Kincaid? There are several assassins in the books so far, why him?
I am not sure True Love is a protection against WCVs. More like being in love with someone...I know it is semantics but I think the point is that it doesn't have to be your one and only soulmate.

(click to show/hide) Good pickup on Ferro...makes me wonder if Drakul and any of the other Dragons will show up, or will they send Emissaries.

It's fair not to like it, but to be unimpressed is just odd. It wasn't meant to be Hollywood-level. Either your expectations are unrealistically high, or you are unreasonably critical. It's meant to simply generate interest and give some fan service. Like a youtube fan film etc. I think production wise it was actually pretty good - and I have been involved in Film on and off for many years now. There were lots of nice touches with editing to conceal some Easter Eggs, and while the casting might not be to everyone's taste, they worked with what they had. Not bad really. I think after putting in so much time and effort and passion, it's more than a little disheartening for the creators and a bit ridiculous and churlish of you to be negative - especially in these difficult times.

(click to show/hide)More to the point, didn't we see in the Jury Duty short story that the Winter mantle offers quite a bit of protection from Raith mojo getting to Harry's head? For the knight not to have pretty robust resistance to mind control is a liability for Winter itself.
As for the trailer itself, it was fine. I wish the Q&A had fielded more of the general questions than being mostly about the trailer though.

Wow! Ridiculous and churlish (a word I don't know, actually)? And a low hit on top of that? Sorry, you can make me feel bad all what you want, I may go to a corner to hide and cry, but even if I wanted, I cannot change what I've felt when I watched it. I tried not to be aggressive or offensive, seriously. I thought this is a place where we were allowed to say our feelings, without offending anyone. That is what I tried to do. And your answer really surprised me.
But if you think the people involved may have read what I wrote, I will add: I loved the FX, and the care they put in make-up, clothing and hair dressing. It is obvious there is a lot of work involved.

That's a svartalf from Bombshells.
