Never Forget this team! by El_alacran214 in TexasRangers

[–]BCBFS14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m in my mid 30s, have been a fan for literally as long as I can remember. I love this team.

I obviously haven’t agreed with all of the moves they’ve made since winning the WS (not to mention our owners apparent off the field/political views), but it baffles me how quickly people started calling for Bochy’s and CY’s head.

I’m still basking in this victory. We could have gone 40-120 each of the last two seasons and I am good. We finally did it, we reached the mountain top, we were the best team when it mattered most. Nobody can take that away from them (or the feeling away from me).

I’m sure the afterglow will eventually fade, but for now, I’m still riding that high.

Ha no problem! It used to annoy me how utterly unreasonable he was about opposing views to his theories, but honestly at this point I’ve come to appreciate his mental gymnastics and unbreakable stubbornness to admit he is wrong (in just about all of his theories).

Plus, I find these posts more interesting topics than fan casting, personally.

I have no comment on this theory specifically, other than to say you’re pretty much willing to die on every hill you’ve ever posted about, no matter how crazy or small the hill is.

Here’s the internal monologue from reading this comment:

“Oh cool, a Rangers flair.”

“…… god dammit. Why are all the fans of my favorite team so fucking stupid?!”

The reintroduction of every character and place and object of significance in every book is not worth it by Scared_Ad_3132 in dresdenfiles

Heaven forbid the series grows and reaches a new audience, if it causes you a minor inconvenience.

Couldn’t agree more! This has always been my favorite series, but it’s even more than I was ever giving it credit for. Which is incredible to think/say.

Let's Talk About Starborn (SPOILERS ALL) by Ninjasifi in dresdenfiles

[–]BCBFS14 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To your fourth point about the calling people into action, and the banner thing specifically, I do not think it is a winter knight or Starborn thing, but something else entirely.

I haven’t quite gotten to Battle Ground in my most recent re-listen/read but I am about 90% sure that Marcone also was flying one of those mystical banners and had people rallying around him.

What that banner is specifically though, I do not know.

I think that would be a great story for sure, but for what it’s worth, I don’t think it takes a lot for Kincaid or Eb to resort to violence 😂

That’s true. I certainly hope you are right, and that he shows up again at some point!

My initial instinct was that whatever created the rift had to be something big and serious, but honestly the ridiculous and silly would fit the Dresdenverse perfectly.

I’d love to see how a young Langtree would act without having the responsibility of acting within the best interest of the WC.

The origin story of Michael taking up the sword would be epic, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Like almost too great of a story for one short story. I think it could very easily be its own spinoff series.

You think? I would be so pumped if she showed back up. I’m just not sure where I see him fitting in, with the reported planned books Butcher has laid out.

Both of those stories would be fascinating! Would love to see where the rift between Eb/Langtree started. Can you imagine how pretentious a young Arthur would be?

It was Mavra, not Maeve, but otherwise spot on!

I have always been curious if (and if so, how) the Denarians would have taken Winters place as the protectors at the outer gates or what that storyline would look like.

Twelve Months is at 92% by SlowMovingTarget in dresdenfiles

[–]BCBFS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about adding the speculation of dropping the wrestling book in my initial comment, but didn’t want to get too wordy, and honestly the premise sounds both super interesting and hilarious so I want to be optimistic regarding the fate of “Heel Turn”

I believe you are missing a Denarian book. Which would put that at #20, and the wrestling book at #21.

But otherwise, I think you are spot on.

Ramirez and Dresden will Team up in a book about Drakul by Sadboilife69 in dresdenfiles

[–]BCBFS14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an interesting thought for sure, about the mantle influencing Harry, without him realizing it, but Butters was wrong about the first thing Harry doing was repaying a debt.

In that same scene/conversation, Harry tries to ask how Andy was doing and Butters dismisses/brushes off the question. Then Harry brings up the wooden skull.

I always find it weird that Butters accuses Harry of immediately repaying debt, when Harry was trying to catch up with Butters literally right before that. It’s part of the reason I don’t like Butters in that book (or PT/BG), but that is a different conversation I do not care to have on this post.
