Regen, you are alive!
Congratulations about the family news, especially mini's internship. I am sure you will miss having her around all the time, but at least Denmark is not too far away from you.
Hello Don! I am so pleased you came back. I am doing well except for some health issues that are not terrible but not ideal. For example, I had a very high blood pressure, so we are trying a new drug and last Wednesday I did the horrible 24 hours pressure measuring thing. I hope it worked (I mean, it had correctly readings. I had some bad experiences about that). It was not so bad. Also, hubby and I are recovering from some cold and both of us still have an annoying random coughing.
I've been dictating some classes I don't usually do, so it iwas fun. And this week I have to evaluate some doctorate students (they have a plan, and they around half of it, so we have to evaluate if they are doing well, if we think they are going to finish in time or perhaps they should change some things, we do some suggestions, things like that.

TV and movies: I watched Wednesday, i liked it. This season more than the first one, I believe. I also watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which was a hit of miss with some good episodes and some terrible ones. I also watched two super heroes movies to comment here. Thunderbolts (Marvel) and Superman (DC). Thunderbolts was ok. No pretensions, not big deal. Superman was...pleasant to watch but too many things had no sense, and I was not delighted with some casting (but I am ok with Superman and Lois). Also, there is Krypto!
Last, I watched two more serious/darker shows. The girlfriend, which was very disturbing but interesting and well done and We were liars, which was mesmerizing. I liked it.

And yay!  the book is coming! I heard JB was in a conventions these last days.

Hi Don! When I posted the belated birthday thread for MSD and others I was ready for making your thread in a couple of days. And then, time decided to just run. I forgot many birthdays in the meantime. I am sorry.
I will make those thread later, because right now I have to run myself.

It is a good theory and I would like it.

Do you think Chandler is in the Mirror dimension?

I do not think Murphy rejected Heaven, she just pressed "remind me later".

It would be great about Grey impersonating Murphy, but it won't work. Too many entities know the truth and won't be foiled.
It is very interesting to see all the references to Murphy's destiny in previous books. I thank all who provided the information.
I always read Murphy as a devouted catholic, so I think she won't become an Eijenhar, or Valkyrie, or whatever, for ever. She would remain with them until the BAT and then probably she will be in Heaven for all eternity. Perhaps with Harry, perhaps waiting for him (we don't know if he will survive the BAT). I suspect the rules will be bent because she is a "temporary worker". So she will be allowed to be back for that.
But even when Harry is not going to see her before the BAT she may be doing things backstage. And we readers will probably see her in Mirror Mirror and in the Time Travel novel.

Thanks Curtin for posting all the informacion. Juicy information.
A few comments about things you have been commenting here:

I am delighted about Mouse being the sidekick. I agree about the fact that Mouse and Harry will be "randomly" taken together to Mirror Universe (MU). Perhaps the simplest explanation is that when the summoning or whatever happened, Mouse spidey sense activated and he ran towards Harry to protect him (because Maggie was probably safe). I imagine Maggie would be with the Carpenters anyways, so Harry won't be agonizing about her while he is in the MU.

If Mouse is with Harry in the MU he would be invaluable, not only protecting him from physical damage but also helping him to remain good and optimistic.

I am not sure about the power of the WK, I think Harry will take it to the MU.

I am still not sure about the plot of MM in the sense that I don't know if Harry will be summoned to the MU and that is all, or if Harry will exchange his place with Mirror Harry.  If the latter is the case, I see two options. The easiest one, they exchange places just like that, or they change minds but their bodies remain in their places. In this case, Mirror Harry would have the mantle, and he would be a nightmare. Everyone will see what an unleashed Harry can be (and Mab will probably have to remove the mantle, crippling him. Another option will be that Mirror Harry won't know what Harry knows, so when they finally met, Harry will be tricking Mirror Harry to say something like "eff Wnter", and thus becoming a hurting cripple.).

I think in the MU there will be no Maggie, but another option is that things were so different that Harry's family was not targeted by the reds, so Susan is alive. Perhaps Harry finds a way to heal Susan and so she could be reunited with Maggie. That way Harry will leave the MU knowing that he did something good.

I am almost sure Mab was not a virgin when she became a Lady. Also, Austrian composer says 1800s somehow.

I miss Thomas, so I hope we can see some Mirror Thomas. Perhaps Harry helps him to stay away to Nemfected Justine.

Please someone save this thread, I like predictions (I am going to save it, but I do not trust myself to remember where I have it).

I suspect without the coin Marcone would have less raw power, but he would be a wizard still, because he would have learnt how to do magic. He would be one of those wizards with much more finesse than raw power.
BUT, I actually don't think we would see Marcone rejecting the coin. I would guess JB is planning to have coin-host Marcone as a key player in the BAT. Just my bet, at least.

Yes. I imagine the relationship Fallen-host is more complex than what we first imagined. I wonder if Marcone took some safe measures. Perhaps he found how to make a special, safer deal, or something. Marcone is a real impressive person and he has a lot of recourses, so he could have found things your average host could never know.

I have all of those too. Not the Amazon services but all the streaming you mentioned + Paramount (where I have Strange New Worlds) and HBOmax (which is part of my cable service package). I also pay a plus for having the right to watch some football (soccer) matches. So yes, it is a lot. But it is one of the things that make me happy, to have options to watch things I like.
Speaking of shows/movies, I went to the cinema! Which is a very strange event for me nowadays. But I have several free hours between medical appointments, so I went to watch Freakier Friday. I am not delighted with the acting, but it was a fun light comedy and I had a good time  :)

wtf? New apprentice? I am worried we are having too many new characters so far in Dresden Files.
It is also weird that which sounds like a very important foe, something that can be related with Harry's nightmares and blackout after the destruction of the rampires, appears in a novella and not in a main book.

I am late to the party because I had not watched the episode until today. It has been very interesting and yes, it reminded me Demonreach too.
Oh, by the way, in the following episode there was a funny Easter Egg. When the Enterprise is
(click to show/hide)
.  I had not watched more episodes so far.

Hello there!

Regen, conversely, our days are becoming warmer. But we are expecting some rain today and then perhaps we will have a few cold days. Also, September is normally a rainy month, so we are preparing.

I also thought JB would be writing CS next. I agree, if he is writing MM, that is better. I really love CS but DF is still my favourite.

I am so glad you are excited about learning something new for your work, Regen. I hope it is not too difficult to master.

I have a very rusty French now. I could read it very well but now I can't. I've forgotten too much.

Oh, I've watched a Star Trek" Strange New Worlds episode and it has an Easter Egg! You can see the TARDIS. So fun  :)
