Good line
My girlfriend has recently gotten me into The Dreseden Files, a fantasy book series you might have heard of as the SciFi channel has bought the rights to it and, to the best of my knowledge, decided all the little quirks that I love out of the books "don't work well" for the TV series. Just from what I've heard you need to understand two things.
Number 1, Harry -never- gets laid. Harry has stood inside of a 3 foot circle, with a hot chick, under the influence of a love potion, and has not gotten laid. Mostly because either of them breaching that 3 foot circle would cause them to be eaten by the demon outside, but you see the comedic device that makes me love the protagonist there.
Number 2, Bob does not manifest himself without Harry's permission. He is trapped in a skull on Harry's shelf for a -very- good reason. Don't take that aspect away and let him willy-nilly hop out of the skull whenever it's comfortable for him. I don't care how much "face time" the actor wants. When Bob manifests he is not the human body of "ye kindly olde actor"
What I'm really saying is read the book and be happy that the author has gotten a check from SciFi to make a series -based- on this writings. If the show gets cancelled what fans should mourn is Jim Butcher's royalty checks.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I have say I've got a catch phrase for this novel I've been listening to and I'll preserve it here. Harry Dresden is talking about magic, but this line is completely devoid of any fantasy aspects when taken on it's own and I think Jim Butcher planned it that way.
"There is no truer gauge of a man's character then the way he employs his strength."
Damn right.
