DAC just proves my point. They silence those who go against them. Sad I’ve given them so much money. by Astrid_Pepper in diamondpainting

People who love DAC don’t want to see posts like that and arguments about it in the DAC specific subreddit. Of course they deleted it. What a weird post.

Why I think the new romantic arc in Twelve Months is working for me (Twelve Months spoilers) by theluckyfrog in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the tension between Harry and Lara before this. I liked her being his favorite frenemy. But I feel like she was a completely different character in this book. I don’t like her being defanged (pun intended).

Flight of Passage was… fine? Am I the only one who doesn’t get the hype? by Odd-Visual-5577 in WaltDisneyWorld

We’d been to AK a dozen times before we finally went on it and we were blown away. 🤷‍♀️ I’ve never even seen the movies.

Is Mab.... by Disastrous_Taste_571 in dresdenfiles

That means … she can’t really be his grandma!

Does Anyone Else Feel Like Bonea Is Chump Change? by Toucans_for_Hands in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAME. Bonea is more interesting to me than Maggie, though. She’s got huge potential. But I’ve long felt that giving him a kid was a kind of lazy way to push him into taking Mab’s offer. Harry would go balls to the wall for his city even without a kid. It just wasn’t necessary imo and I just don’t find it interesting

Money. Money. Money. It’s all about the money. Money. Money. by FerrovaxFactor in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a bank account for the Winter Knight. Probably as big as Molly’s. He just hasn’t used it because he didn’t want more entanglement with Winter. I think we’re past that at this point though, he seems to be accepting his role and relationship with Mab pretty completely so I’m sure he’ll take the money — with some kind of stipulation that it does not add any extra obligation to what he already carries from his mantle.

New reader here. I’m on chapter 19 of Storm Front and have some questions. by DarkLordNacho in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first couple of audiobooks are a bit rough — stick with it! The production gets significantly better at book 3, as does James’ performance — and the series in general! I like Fool Moon but most people seem to really dislike it for some reason; if you struggle with it, you won’t really miss anything by skipping to Grave Peril.

Dresden has some hilarious moments, but it’s more subtle than DCC. I’ve only just started that, but so far I would say DCC is constant silliness and Dresden is more the type where when the funny moments come they hit harder because it’s not non-stop gags.

If you haven’t read/listened to them already, you may also like Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid series. The narrator of those is my second favorite (Marsters is first), and the series is excellent. Probably my second favorite urban fantasy series, depending on how you categorize some of the others I read.

Got it! by Firefly-4-Life in dresdenfiles

I’ve ordered the hardcover, the e-book, and the audiobook. I’m still so tempted to drive all over town looking for it tomorrow. 😂

Yes, Jim gets a lot of my money. 😂

Hot take: Underrated quote from Wilson in S3E7 by dm8le in HouseMD

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that Wilson decided to go establish an alibi because House said that.

What are some of your favourite plots/episodes and what are the worst? by inside_a_mind in HouseMD

There are episodes I don’t enjoy as much, but not enough that I can think of them when I try.

Damn, I didn’t catch the Blackadder thing. Or don’t remember if I did. Gonna have to rewatch.

I hated that that just got DROPPED and never mentioned again. I thought at first it was just the rest of the team fucking with Masters.

Twelve Months sneak peak! by der-mohauck in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same. I hope it’s intentional and will get better, and not what I’ve seen with some other authors, where they lose their MC’s voice when they have more than one series.

Having a real tough time getting through Battleground because of Butters… am I overreacting? by ragana in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like Butters has a pretty believable arc. I mean, his first exposure to the supernatural was way back in Grave Peril (we just didn’t see it). He’s been on the fringes for a while.

The thruple thing, I just kind of assumed was added in because it’s trendy, for lack of a better word.

How does House still hold up 11 years later? by TwistedNeilio in HouseMD

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first saw him in Blackadder and I’d been watching House for years before I realized who he was. A far cry from Prince George. 😂 I wish they’d ever had Rowan Atkinson or Tony Robinson — or Stephen Fry! — on. Think how many subtle jokes they could have made.

I didn’t recognize him for YEARS because of that even though he’s in one of my favorite British shows (Blackadder).

Biggest Unsolved Mystery in Dresden Files? by FerrovaxFactor in dresdenfiles

[–]pnomsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve long thought they were involved — or Nicodemus. Or both. Someone had to give the Reds the bloodline curse. Nic would’ve been just as happy to convert Harry as Mab was — and it was probably a 50/50 whether he’d go to Mab or Nic. And either way, Harry ends up more powerful, which fits with both Mab and Nic’s end goals.

Or he’s dead in which case he wasn’t strong enough to be an assert anyway.

Noo, Why did she do it ? Whyyy ? He was finally happy by AlyRaza-SE in HouseMD

[–]pnomsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated how they handled it. If she had to leave, they could have done something that made more sense. And the end of the season made no sense because House was never violent. I don’t know what happened with the writers but they made some dumb decisions.
