This is why I wanted feedback.  I figured it was likely that there were other versions that were getting play.

I know, just wanted to confirm my ability to see into the future.   

Nic has a plan, a scheme of some kind. This time it's not something 'stupid' like start a plague. This time he's serious bout it and will probably be very patient in implementing it, even if he has to do all the work himself.

We may not see him fro some tie, but I bet by the time of the BAT, we will see him again and he will be in the thick of it.

One thing he may set his sights on, is trying to retrieve all of the relics from Harry. How he might go about it, I have no idea, but after everything he did, everything he sacrificed, he's not going to just give up on them.

  More important, who is Nick going to either hand off the coin to or trick into taking it up?

Considering his 'emotional attachment' to it, I would be surprised if he passed it off at all, or at least not so quickly. Once passed off, there is a good chance it would eventually wind up in the church or buried under some Wizard's sub-basement.

There are 30 coins, plenty for Nick to choose from.

There are some in Skin Games as well, but I can't  quote them. Like Michael  and Harry conversation  near the end.

Oh, and while I'm at it, why not cast Cara Delevinge as Maeve. She's apparently getting into acting, as she's been cast as a female lead in a new YA movie.

I think she looks the part well enough.

One thing I ask, if they try to cast the Dresden Files as a live action production, is that they at least try to get the heights right. Harry has to be tall, at least an inch or four over 6 feet, and Thomas has to be shorter, but not short. There should be a noticeable height difference between them.

I know that might prove to be very hard to do, but it would make the series more consistent with the books if they do.

Dead Beat is at the very end of October (29th - 31st). Precisely 4 months would put us into the end of February/beginning of March, depending on the day of the break and whether or not it's a leap year... so it's hard to get precision on exactly when Jim is placing this.

True, it could  have been the first week of March. Though that is still verging on month 5.

*headdesk*

WHY would they change that? Even with wizard healing, 5 months was pushing it in terms of credibility for Yukie's level of mobility. Siiiiiiigh.

Actually, if War Cry takes place around Thomas' Birthday, it would explain why it took Harry two years to finally decide to give his brother a birthday present. They would have been a little busy to do it earlier.

Can't say anything about the Wizard healing issue though.
