A lot could have been avoided if Harry had the sense not to protect Murphy against her will, and in denial of her agency as an adult and a cop. Also, explaining “It’s a wizard thing, I can’t talk about it and they will kill me if I do. And then they will kill you.” would have gone a long way to establishing a greater degree of trust, if not improving Murph’s temper.

I can imagine the dialogue going something like this:
Murphy: “I’m a cop, Dresden, I can protect myself.”
Harry: “Not against this. They will blind side you. You won’t see them coming.”
And then Murphy would have enough knowledge to decide for herself. It’s made fairly clear in the series that it’s Harry’s gynocentrism that gets on her wick, and justly so.

And there’s a very good reason for that, as the book explains in great detail. I’d give some bullet points here, but TT.

Tolkien came up with the term in his 1947 essay On Fairy Stories, which I recommend getting hold of if you can. But it can refer to any internally consistent fictional or fantasy world. It is called “secondary world” to distinguish it from the real “primary world”.

I’ve seen a few episodes. It looks very well done, especially from a technical and casting point of view.

Yeah I can see that.
Most of the subs I frequent are pretty good about that, honestly, but yeah I'm not sure what I expected.

A Youtuber I follow calls it “REEEEEEEddit”, REEEEEEEEE being the sound of autistic screeching. (Autistic being used in the non-medical sense.)


BTW, as a sidebar, is it me, or does this board seem a lot quieter than it was? Weird used to move like a rocket, and the RPG area is virtually dead. It’s not like the old days. Is nostalgic

Well, if you will go to Reddit, best be prepared for madness and salt.

I think I’m about ready to paint myself blue, run off to live in the woods and find some really good mushrooms. It seems to be the only logical response.

Does that get across how bored and tired of the lock down I am?

What about you?
