DF Books / Re: Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
« on: March 12, 2007, 07:52:20 AM »

I didn't know about the books until after the show began.  At first I wasn't that interested in the show.  The commercials didn't reveal much about the content.  They should have made the commercials more magical.  Someone started pressuring me to check it out and then finally my closest friend told me I should watch it. The first two episodes had already aired so I watched it over the computer and I got hooked.

I bought the books the other day.  I have already read Restoeration of faith over the computer, and I have read all of Storm front and Fool Moon.  And now I'm a little bit into Grave Peril.

I, myself, am very interested in Bob right now.

I'm hoping we get a full flash back of when he was a live.  I want to know if he'll ever be able to touch anything. 

I'm nervous about the up coming Bob based finale.  My biggest hope is that even if Bob does get tempted by Justin he turns against him and saves the day in that one.  I don't know if it's my love of Terrence Mann and pity for Bob's plight effecting my view of things but I just don't really think he's all that evil.  To me he's like a light gray character similar to Methos from Highlander the series.  Oh, but the tension is mounting.  You can see something building around Bob and it's getting to me.

Will Harry's Godmother be introduced into the series?

Oh, I'd love that.  I'm only half way through reading Grave Peril and I love the way she appears.

Robert, does your production company own the Dresden Files merchandising rights?  Will you be releasing any cool stuff for us?  ;D

Oh, I'm picturing action figures.

Harry comes with a hockey stick and drum stick.

Bob comes with his own skull.

Murphy comes with a badge and gun.

Morgan comes with a sword.

Little ceramic bob skulls.

DVD sets (obviously).

And for the Hot Topic shoppers...

Full sized replicas of Bob's manacles

Harry's mother's Pentacle.

Harry's protection bracelet.

Robert, I'm curious. In the tv Dresdenverse, it seems everyone can see and knows about Bob. Is it true that whoever has the skull controls Bob? Doesn't Bob have the potential to do great evil with the wrong "master"? Will there be any attempts by some of the villians to remove Bob from Harry's care?

I'm pretty sure this will come up in the episode About Bob.  I could have sworn in Rules of Engagement Harry ordered Bob to get into his skull and added 'That's a command, Bob.' forcing him to comply.

Bob's personality is his own but I think he has to obey whoever has the skull and Bob, of course, knows a lot of dark magick. A dark wizard asking him the right question and it's like having a keg of gasoline around a fire.

Bob of the books ... pissed off the faery Queen.  In folk lore Oberon is Mab's son and he becomes the Faery king and marries Titania.

And Oberon regularly pisses off Titania. :D

*waves at Darkling* Glad you found your way here. :)

Hello, ButMad.  Glad you lead the way. ;)

Off topic but he's also the voice of Oberon on the animated series Gargoyles.  I found this particularly funny because someone told me Bob of the books (though an entirely different entity and I haven't finished reading them yet) pissed off the faery Queen.  In folk lore Oberon is Mab's son and he becomes the Faery king and marries Titania.  They appear in Shakespeare's A midsummer Night's dream.

... not to mention he sang Power of the Night in the movie Critters

OH

MY

GOD



"We're here for the Crites".


I'd never have guessed.


Yes, he was Ug / Johnny Steele in Critters.  By the time you get to the fourth Critters movie he starts to resemble Bob as we know him but before then it's very hard to tell it's the same man.  That man's gone under as many changes as David Bowie or more presicely Tim Curry.

Now I get a little obsessive conpulsive when I discover something new that I like.  Being a Broadway fan and born New Yorker (though now I live in Upstate New York) I already had the albums for The Rocky Horror Show (which I saw live when Terrence / Bob was Dr. Frank N. Futter) and Les Miserables on CD but after I got into Dresden Files I found myself downloading  Beauty and the Beast's Broadway cast album and Cats (I don't even like Cats) and I found Power of the Night on a Terrence Mann message board in Mp3 format and I burned that to disc.

Now I want Bob to sing!

I was under the impression that Bob was only about 500 yrs old, not a thousand...where'd the thousand come from?

Also, if it helps, I believe (could be wrong) that he died in the 16th century.

Maybe showtunes drove him to be a warlock?

Haha. I think that was put in there to deliberately make reference to Terrence Mann's theatrical past.  Terrence is a well known name on Broadway.  I saw him in The Rocky Horror Show six years ago.  He's Dr. Frank on the official Broadway revial cast album for The Rocky Horror Show, Javert in Les Miserables, Beast in Beauty and the Beast and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats, not to mention he sang Power of the Night in the movie Critters
 
He has an incredible voice. They would have to be stupid not to exploit it at some point on the show.

And yes, I am also laughing at the above mentioned parody.  Too bad I'm not that witty.
