Peace Talks - Continuity Notes [Spoilers]

Second Aristh:
I'm willing to chalk Lara's diaper comment to her speaking loosely about feeling like she raised Thomas.  All the rest of her list would apply to a five year old.

Nah. He just got beat up a bit by Thomas:


--- Quote ---Listen walked out on his own power, his hands behind his back, one of his eyes swollen halfway shut. He gave me a steady look as he went by and said nothing.
Bastard.

Others I noticed:

- The distance to the Raith manor is described as "several miles" (and he drives in convoy).   In Turn Coat it's "half a mile".

- Harry drinks that "black and white" potion, yet he still sees some things in color (like "scarlet blood") inconsistently.

- Lara states that's she never been betrayed by members of her household.   I guess Madeline in Turn Coat doesn't count?

- Not a dis-continuity, but you'd think the Raiths would have had a servant/maid doing things like changing diapers.

She doesn't count the Raith Deeps thing either, dismissing it as "everyday treachery".

RulesLawyer:
I don't think the loss of Dresden's memory of visiting the BFS while alive in Skin Game is a mistake.
Molly and Dresden visit it rather clearly in Skin Game. It's half a chapter. Dresden specifically mentions that it freaks the guard out they he knew were to go because he'd been there when dead.

Dresden and Molly go in, and what do they find, Mab. In her judgment aspect. Why is she in that aspect with Marcone? What were they discussing?
And when Dresden and Molly intercede, Jim writes this "But she [Mab] regarded me with a look of displeasure that promised me a reckoning later. Molly got the same glare."

Mab's messed with Harry's memory before (Small Favor). And if she messed with Molly's who would tell Harry that it happened (like she confirmed in Small Favor)? It also somewhat explains the Wardens' behavior now. They feel he's been compromised, but can't confirm due to Laws. Maybe he feels not right. It could also explain the cops (as speculated by Dresden that someone is pushing Rudolph). Why? Didn't Marcone take care of that as mentioned in Skin Game? 

Something happened. And Harry doesn't remember. Could be why the Karin thing is a bit...rushed? It feels 1 point out of 100 off. Not hugely off, but a small bit off.

AND, that would explain why so many things in Peace Talks feel...different. Off some how. Something else is going on. Marcone hosting the talks. Mab discussing things with him. There's a plan. It just doesn't feel like this Titian thing is a full surprise. There's another game going here. And I bet Marcone and Mab are behind a big-time plan behind it. Dresden's memory got in the way. Too risky for him to know for his own good. Sort of like when Mab took his memory of fire.

Also, there's something else to consider about Genosowka/Blood. Yeah, shapeshifter. Yeah coin. But if he died in the Underworld, what if Hades sent him back under a Geas as his punishment.
