Things you wish Harry said or did in PT / BG

(1/5) > >>

KurtinStGeorge:
There have been a few times in the series when I thought Jim missed an opportunity for Harry to say something cool or funny.  Though mostly, there are times when I wish Harry would get off the guilt trip or just share something, because the wizard secrecy thing can be a drag too.  Of course, then it wouldn't be the Harry Dresden we know.

In Battle Ground I thought there were a couple times Harry might have said something different that might have been fun or interesting, so I'll tell you one of them.  When Ebenezer and Harry first talked in Battle Ground, Eb said to Harry, "You look a little green, Hoss."  Instead of telling Ebenezer that he got seasick, Harry should have said, "It was a little rough on the lake coming back in, and I had to fight a kraken.  I don't think I would be here to tell you this Sir, if I hadn't had a White Court vampire around to help me."  It wouldn't improved Ebenezer's mood any, but he had it coming after the crap he gave Harry in PT.

So, was there anything you would have liked to have Harry say or do in either Peace Talks or Battle Ground?

"No Carlos, I didn't sleep with, and in fact physically can't sleep with, Lara. I will not become unreasonably offended and threaten violence over what is a perfectly reasonable question, considering I've been running off to see a mind controlling sex-vampire behind the Council's back."

Always stay reasonable and calm when somebody tries to get you angry.

The problem with telling Carlos about the true love protection is that he probably does not know about the possibility so he probably thinks it is a self serving lie. And it might endanger Murphy.

Mira:


I think by the time Peace Talks starts, minds have already been made up.  Eb is deaf to anything positive Harry has to say about Thomas, in fact it only adds gasoline to the personal fire in his gut leading to him totally losing control.  Same with Carlos, he was severely injured trying to have sex with the Winter Lady, who used to be Molly, the apprentice he was attracted to.  Maybe at the beginning of Peace Talks he says he voted for Harry, but his prejudices are already baked into the cake.  Harry didn't help by humiliating him at the Talks with what he pulled, he wasn't going to listen anyway so I don't blame Harry for even trying.  Look at what Carlos said when he came to tell Harry he was out.  That wasn't just a tough law enforcement officer doing his job, it was a bitter angry man willing to blame everything on Harry.

forumghost:
I'd be bitter and angry too if I kept sticking my neck out for my friend, only to have him throw it back in my face, threaten me when I show concern about him, attack me for no explained reason, and never show me even the slightest hint of trust. All while he gets buddy-buddy with a Mind-Controlling Rapist and acts like that shouldn't be a thing to be concerned about.

Seriously, Harry treats Carlos like shit in PT/BG.

Like, c'mon Dresden, there's options that exist between "Stonewall everyone 100%" and "Tell them about everything"
