Aurora didn't have to get the same change from Nemesis as Maeve. I can't think of a lie Aurora told, but I also think that Aurora wasn't fully aware of Nemesis. I think it drove her mad. Two theories why:
1) Nemesis grows stronger the more hosts he/she/it has.
B) Nemesis uses the least effort necessary to accomplish goals, possibly because the cost of action is somehow high.

It's also possible that we are underestimating the White council by basing our opinions of them on a young, outcast member of their society.

"In Russian folklore there are many stories of Baba Yaga, the fearsome witch with iron teeth."
look in http://www.oldrussia.net/baba.html
plus numerous other sources
No info on the staff though, she always lived in a cabin in the woods, but it spun around on chicken legs...
I wish I had read this yesterday. I wouldn't have gotten all excited that I figured this out today.

To me that screams Hugh Laurie:
I can certainly see the disdain.

I thought Ian McKellan was contractually bound to play all old wizard types in Hollywood these days...
I would go with Sean Connery, personally. Gray but still potentially bad-ass.

He could be Binder, I guess, but I always pictured him as Mark Sheppard. Nicholas Brendon or Sean Maher could be Slate, although there are probably better candidates.Neither Reed Diamond or NPH scream "bad ass assassin" to me.

That's perfect. I think that will probably take over my mental image of Mab.
Normally, I see the characters more as animation than actors.

What he said. I was just speculating about that before this.

My WAG for theory 7 is that the only thing being Starborn gives Dresden is the ability to shrug off Outsider mental powers. That's all we've seen him do, but it seems to be pretty effective.

I had that one as my signature six months ago, actually. I was referencing Pratchett at the time. I think you'd be fine.

Molly already has the piercings that Maeve was sporting. Those piercings have been mentioned a handful of time before in Molly's case. I don't recall them being mentioned for Maeve before. Mentioning them now seems to foreshadow Molly's eventual recruitment as the Winter Lady. Maybe its just me, though.

Anyone else think that Maeve's birthday suit piercings foreshadows the Molly situation?
