Now that movie poster is all wrong. Those are not the right actors for the parts.

Be fair though, that's never stopped Hollywood before.

Somehow I misread the "B" for "H" in "bump"... but anyhow, I like the poster too!

Sucks to get old.

That's me alright! LOL! Sometimes I end up borrowing the same books twice from the library, only to realized halfway through reading that I've read it before.

The poster looks not bad. I don't know the actress, but I like Cusack and Fillion.

Did they not broadcast Battlestar Galactica (the 2004 one) in your time zone?

Hmmm...what's that?

I've heard of the show, but I've never watched it. Not exactly my cup of tea.

I've just Googled her info, so she's Captain Starbuck. It looks like she appeared briefly in CSI (now, that's one of my favorite TV shows) a few years ago. I think I have a somewhat vague impression of her in the TV series.

I'm in Malaysia, by the way.

Ahhh, not a SciFi fan. I was guessing that, but neglected to include it in my last post. Oh, and I was guessing Hong Kong, close but no cigar!

Only hindsight will tell us for sure, and for that we need more books, but the way Skin Games was written could be necessary to set up books in the rest of the series.

As Rajan Khanna pointed out this book does not have the epic feel of the previous books. But who can ride that kind of a roller coaster of emotions without taking a break? This could be Jim Butcher's break and set up for even more epic novels. We know there is a 3 book climax coming eventually.

Only time, and ultimately more books, will reveal the truth.

*goes back to sitting in corner and drums fingers impatiently waiting for the next book(s)*

PS: nice article Alan

Actually, that was my feeling as well. Several plotlines really feels like a setup for the next couple of books at least.
I must admit, that some things were too easy or at least seems to be.

Many thanks to Jim Butcher, Priscilla Spencer, Pamela Shaw, and the many people who gave us advice and help, and thought this was a pretty righteous thing to attempt.

Born of a desire for a way to film magical effects without bothering to remove modern elements such as airplanes and telephone poles, our straying into the 'verse of Dresden's Chicago were done out of a fierce love of the books, respect for their author, and straight up geekdom.

I first posted this back in February and thought it would be a good idea to re-post it at this time.

I wish the series won't end so soon and that there will be many many more books to come!

Okay, who we got Seth Green playing?
Not a fan of his acting as such, but his voice over acting in the Mass Effect series as "Joker" was brilliant!
