The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Jim interview
Conspiracy Theorist:
You missed that Etienne The Enchanter was a pal of Merlins, he created Bob’s original Sanctum. Thus Bob was put to work initially for ‘good’ and this shows the Original Merlin was still alive in the 1200’s, much later than thought, or at least was time travelling.
You also missed Harry’s visitation by Malcolm was not Malcolm’s ghost, suggesting Malcolm DIDN’T die by violence. Was it instead some ascension or apotheosis on the part of Malcom to a higher state of being?

In all humor Butcher describes his job as telling very long lies and then asks if you would trust him. Here's the thing about calling your self a liar. Why would I believe anything he says? I'd put my WAG on the back burner and wait for events. If Merlin is Harry by the way, he would be the start of the bloodline not a part of it. He can't descend from himself. :o ;)
--- Quote from: Lord Kinbote on September 18, 2022, 06:12:41 PM ---So at least a year before the next Dresden Files novel, which will make it 3 years and counting since September 2020's Battle Ground. How long before the next novel that's planned to push the overarching narrative along?

He actually tweeted The End in 2019 before deciding to split the book.

Here goes Butcher rewriting history, again.

--- Quote from: Mira on September 18, 2022, 03:22:19 PM ---Wasn't the Nemean Lion killed by Hercules as one of his twelve labors? At least that is according to Google, or is that another myth that isn't quite true as Hades explained to Harry back in Skin Game.
--- End quote ---
In the interview Jim says it is the spirit of the Lion.
Con:
In my headcanon Hercules regularly gifted Uncle Hades as the only sane one in the family. Hercules 'wrestling' Cerberus was actually giving him a belly rub.

Given that Merlin constructed demonreach prison as a pentacle in time (in 5 different times, as a single action) I think "Merlin as time traveller" has to be considered a well-established part of canon!
