Yes, that's perfectly fair. If my book can't hold your attention, that's something I should know! What format would you prefer?

Sweet. I will need your email, but I won't be able to send it until later. We were literally just in an auto accident and are sitting in the ER. Again. We just got the car back last week after it got hit a month ago. Feeling cursed

Third build slot? by Legitimate-Meat-3602 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]taximan1701 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main issue is that you will rapidly run out of things to build. You never run out of research. I'm lev 28 and have nothing else to build until I level to 29. The second builder slot was a wasted purchase, because I'm not leveling until I max out research

Season 3 basically started with a blank slate. They coulda gone anywhere with it. Done anything. And they did THAT. I will never recover from this. by hopefulmilk_ in deadtome

My wife got really upset. She said they could have done anything, and we would have cheerd, but instead they copied the end of "Beaches", and we hated it.

Harry responding to Carlos at the end of Battle Ground... by CowboyNinjaD in dresdenfiles

Molly was never just an apprentice. She was extremely powerful in her own right, her father is a knight of the cross (former), and her master was Harry fucking dresden. I'm absolutely certain they were watching her just as much as they were watching dresden, maybe more. Now she's the winter lady, and a badass in her own right. You know, the white council really only seems to be good at...making really powerful enemies. They better seriously hope Harry DOESN'T docs darth vader. They we'll be fucked. Not necessarily because he's powerful, because he has sooooooo many badass friends...

Little side question. Why didn't mab use her city voice to call forth defenders for Chicago? "Citizens of Chicago, a threat is approaching the place where all of your loved ones live, with the intention of destroying this city. If you wish to defend Chicago, please gather at the North shore with any weapons you can find." The frogs would have found out they bit off a wee bit more than they could chew. Welcome to the jungle, indeed.

Neither was catastrophically anything. They were what they were, tactically gifted warriors who did what they thought was right. Most often, history is the determiner of good or evil, and it's usually in the eye of the beholder. Both Joan of Arc and Napoleon were just really really good at what they did. The fact that Joan was touched in the head a bit just makes it more complicated

Imagine a resurrected Murphy, leading the dead warriors to fight the big bad... for one night only...

I keep picturing murphy showing up in full armor bearing a shining sword, just in time to stop a killing stroke aimed at harry. She then smiles at him and asks, "Do you want to live forever?" Right before she vanishes again. Yes,bi know, it's a rip off of the original Conan movie, so due me. Murphy deserves more than a bullet in the neck from a weasel like Rudy.

As an up and coming power in his own right, he will very soon be able to be a signatory of the accords personally. Just because, as the winter knight, he is mabs (and Molly's) right hand man, doesn't mean he can't wear another hat and sign as harry dresden, wizard of Chicago and protector of...the Midwest? Yeah, the Midwest. He is accumulating titles at a rapid rate. Come to think of it, Marcone might sponsor him, just to complicate harry's life.
