thanks Kilroy, I guess it just confuses me that an agent of winter has red hair and a green dress....that seems much more summery to me. 

Like when he meets Mab at one point shes in a white suit...that makes more sense to me..  just my $.02

I think Jennie Greenteeth had green hair and... er... teeth.  I believe it was a darker green, but you'd still associate green with life and summer.  But she's Winter.  I don't think the Fae are as stereotypical as Power Rangers.  They have a diverse wardrobe.

Jennifer Connelly for Lara. I can't believe no one's suggested her yet.

See, my problem is that when I look at casting for these roles, I really think about who can play the part for a series, as opposed to who look correct right now.

If TDF were put on TV as a premium channel series, and they did two books a year, you're still looking at 10+ years of filming.  So Jennifer Connelly, as gorgeous as she may be, is 41 right now, and would be in her early to mid 50's by the time the series was over.

That's why I keep casting young.  I see Mab as being a hot 40's FQILF, but you'd have to cast much younger than that to keep the character consistent.

Dianna Agron got a new haircut, and since I think she's just adorable, I'm tossing her in the casting mix.

Dianna Agron (Glee, FOX) for Murphy or Maeve
Currently 25
Height 5'6"
Probably too tall for Karrin Murphy, but still a good age to start her at, unless JB really wants her to be older. 
She might also be eligible for Maeve, but I always imagined that role to be a little more... voluptuous.




If she WERE going to be Maeve, I think she should do Aurora as well, since they were described nearly as polar opposite twins.  And that would influence my opinion on Mab as well.  I see something similar between her and Stana Katic (Castle, ABC).

Stana Katic for Mab
Currently 33
Height 5'9"
Only 8 years separate Stana and Dianna, but I think that could be handled between make-up and the slow aging of Fae.  Make Dianna look a little younger, and Stana look a little older (so she looks the same as the series progresses).

Well, I always figured Wilford Brimley for Eb McCoy, but after I saw the ESPN commercial, "The Cowboy", I've now got a new favorite for McCoy.

YES.

No. Have you seen those librarian movies.  No.  Just no.

Personally, I want to know if Jim was getting bored writing TDF over the last few books (prior to Changes).  I can't say specifically what it was, but with Small Favor and Turn Coat, there was just something that seemed like Butcher was going through the motions with some of it.  Almost like he knew what he was going to do in Changes, but had to finish a checklist of plot points before he could advance the story.

I really felt it in certain things, like with Molly's development, then regression, and back and forth; and with the scenes with Molly/Mouse/Luccio/Morgan in Turn Coat; and even from the rumor I heard about the fact that he wanted to name Ghost Story something else, but was more-or-less railroaded back into the Two Word title.  I feel like he wants to shake things up, and if so, then it's his darn series, so let 'em rip!

I didn't watch the show, but saw the advertisements.  It was already cancelled by the time I noticed the books in the book store.  And one day when I ran out of other things to read, I picked up the first book, finished it, went back got the second, and so on and so on.
