There was a lady cop of 5’0,
Who steadfastly refused to grow,
When attacked by a troll,
Her eyes she did roll,
And gave it maximum woe.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not clear is the virginity requirement that was poor Carlos's undoing with Molly.  Lara is no virgin, and I cannot see her forgoing her pleasures even if she cannot feed anymore.  Unless Mab wants her as her own replacement, as Queen of Winter.

I too was thinking of Lara more as a replacement for Mab. IMO this role would be more fitting for her. And therefore Molly staying the Lady. It would make sense keeping Lara close. Maybe one of the reasons for the marriage. So that she is already there as a new vessel, when the mantle of Winter Queen is set free.

There it is: addition to 2.) Method Demonreach

      Priscellie: Joshua Matthews asks "if someone with multiple personalities or mantles like Kringle were imprisoned on the island, could only one part be released and other parts left in prison?"

Jim: Ooh that's a good question. Yeah I mean theoretically yeah you could. That would work really really well if the warden was using that to get specific services out of somebody without wanting to expose people to certain dangers. If Harry for example captured Kringle on the island for example he might want to send him out as Kringle or as anything /but/ Kringle so you can go forth and do whatever you're doing Odin but I'm keeping Kringle right here because I know he's the source of your immortality, you can come get him out on Christmas Eve.     

Hey, guys. We watched 2 episodes. My husband almost fell asleep during the second one, so we had to stop there. I think Zachary Quinto is a really good bad guy.  I loved him as Sylar in Heroes and I even loved him as Spock though I couldn't believe anyone could play Spock like Nimoy, but he did a really good job. And I love him as Charlie Manx.


OK, now to the books I read. I wanted to write more before,  but I can't do that while watching TV. LOL
I finally found the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. The first one was given to me by a colleague. I'm not sure he warned me that they are not finished, but if he did, I forgot. He gave the book to me in the week Peace Talks came out. I told him, that I definitely wouldn't be able to read that at least until somewhere in October. And I was right.
It took me some days to get of through the first few pages, but I noticed, it was really well written. You could feel that even in the translation. I loved it.
I knew it was supposed to be a trilogy and found another two books in our public library. But reading the titles I found out, that the second book had been made into two books in the German translation. Wtf! And the original was published in 2011. But he seems to be writing the last one at least. Amazon has a publication date alternating between 2025 and 2035. I hope the second one is a joke.
And because I had time this weekend, I asked myself, why the book was splitted in the translation.

And I came to the conclusion that it must have been the language. Sometimes you need more and longer words in German than you need in English to convey the same meaning. And in the translation it also has to sound good. And these books were translated in a very beautiful way. I was impressed.

Then I understood, why it got split up in two: The original book has about 1000 pages. The German translation has more than 300 pages more.
I compared other books and most of the time the translation was about 30-33% longer than the English one.

I have never thought about that. I put the two books (paperback) on top of each other and they were really heavy together. And as thick as my hand with the side on the table and the thumb on the upside.

Now I have to calculate with all my other books, to see if I am right.

LOL. What funny ideas one gets, when finally having some spare time.
But I'm sure for every professional translator this is old news.


@Otlan:
My father noticed me of course and he had his fun pretending to stand up, so I had to sneak back. So some day he watched those movies (not all of them) together with me and explained all the time how this was done and that was done and how the actress that got killed pretended she was dead, but in real life she was hopping happily around singing happy songs and smiling.
From that time on we went to movies together and he would explain to me how all the special effects were done and how the music was done to make you feel happy, sad, tense or frightened. It was fascinating.

So, no, I did not read the entire series, but I was wondering if some of you that reread now can help me with something. In which book Harry has something that seems like a memory of Demonreach and someone (Luccio, I believe) told him it is a premonition, something that wizards have.

I think that must have been in Small Favor. The first time he sets a foot on the island. And Luccio is there, too.

I really don't want to see Harry having more kids so I hope the marriage is not consummated (because, even when we know it is difficult for a white vampire to get pregnant, it is just Harry's luck).

I know what they can do to prevent that and to prevent Lara getting burned without Harry losing his protection:

Neither am I. It's just my pet theory and head cannon until Jim tells me otherwise.

But maybe Mab. I mean, if she created the bloodline with Merlin... One would understand Outsiders to want Mab dead. This would directly influence the power over the Outer Gates.
Could be a bloodline curse could kill her. Could be this is why she allowed Harry to safe Maggie first after the knighting ceremony.
