Dresden Files, Again
I watched the latest episode of Dresden Files last night. I actually caught it when it came on, which is rare for me. I hardly ever watch live TV these days. The title of the episode was “Storm Front” which is the title of the first book that the TV series is based on. This made me think that it was the first episode filmed, but not the first one aired.
I really liked it. They really captured the true essence of all of the characters, and I think that is the route that the show should go from here on out. The Blue Beetle finally made a showing, and that made me very happy, but he’s still driving the clunky old jeep. I think that the Blue Beetle should be a permanent fixture, but that’s just my thoughts.
When I first saw Susan, I was dismayed because the actress does not have the proper look for the character. However, I got past that very quickly. The actress really played Susan quite well. She nailed it!
There was more magic, back story, and special effects in this episode. Harry actually did some magic, and I think that it’s about damn time that this happened. I’m still not a fan of the drumsticks and hockey stick, but I understand that most viewers need the modern trappings of wands and staves in order to stay hooked. It’s something that I can live with.
The special effects for Ming, Bianca, and the demon were awesome. It showed how ordinary looking people can be especially powerful. The transformations of the characters when they showed their might was very effective. I really love the way Bianca went from a beautiful woman to a horrible monster. I’m glad that they finally threw that into the mix.
I was almost ready to give up on the TV show, but I think I’ll remain a faithful follower for a while longer.
