Thanks

Yes, you definitely should and the Dresden adaptations are here to stay

Please check your email, I sent you another sketch so you can put up with the poll

Do you know when you will get a chance to put the poll up? Please let me know.

**Cryostar** · 11-30-2007, 06:06 AM

I got the email, I'll include it as soon as the poll goes up.

As of right now, the poll is in the hands of a manager, they are the only ones that can start one up. As soon as they get it started, we'll be in gear.

Thank you very much Cryostar my friend

Please have a nice and safe weekend!

As promised, here are some screencaps of my favourite subject....vampires.

Khan - loved the preview pics! One thing that put me off the tv show was that Harry didn't have his coat. Those sketches fit better with the novel descriptions.

Is there anywhere else you can link us that isn't another message board?

Jerry - I'm still disappointed that we didn't get to see Thomas in the series.

I'm not a fan of going to the dentist. I'm thinking that having those fangs inserted, then having to wear them would be uncomfortable.

Chris, no worries, I'm in the process of recreating the post, though Newsorama is the official unofficial news source for the entire comics industry.

There were a couple of disappoints for me in the series....but I still love it, it's quirky and had a good niche.

Alan found this over at the Comics board

Thanks Cryostar my friend for those screencaps. Are those of Bianca? Well, if it is I'm happy to let you know that we have a very nice one of Bianca coming up soon

Bianca is a Red Court Vampire and that is pretty scary

Chris my friend, in our adaptation, Harry has his coat

I love that piece Cryostar my friend, notice the tiny splash of blood on Murphy's sleeve

**Cryostar** · 12-03-2007, 06:21 AM

Indeed I do....nice touch.

Red Court are ok, in the end, she's just looking for a bit of fun though.

The_Khan · 12-03-2007, 09:31 AM

I agree, Bianca will have her fun

**Cryostar** · 12-04-2007, 06:30 AM

Hrm, where did all the other Dresden fans go.....Chris and Rachel and Dukesmom, I'm talking about you three.....

I'm not talking about the graphic novel because until it's released, it's too much like talking about spoilers, IMO. And I don't do spoilers.

Anyone want to discuss the books?

Book one, Storm Front

Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things -- and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a -- well, whatever.

There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get... interesting.

Magic. It can get a guy killed.

quote from the back cover of the paperback.

Compare/contrast to the television episode? Obviously the book was better but the only way they could put everything in the book into the television series would be to show it on pay cable and use an entire season of episodes rather than just one. That being said, some changes made no sense to me. Why did they change some of the characters' names? Not even the whole name, just the last name in most cases.

**Cryostar** · 12-06-2007, 06:18 AM

*gasp* Book spoilers?

Hey, speaking of books and pictures....everyone that hasn't voted yet, head over to the poll and place your votes!

dukesmom · 12-10-2007, 05:16 PM

One of the Buzz Polls over at the People's Choice Awards website gives you a choice between Ghost Hunters, Flash Gordon, and The Dresden Files. Right now DF has a slight lead over GH - FG is waaaaaay behind. There's only one more day to vote: People's Choice Awards: Vote for TV, Movies & Music You Love - pcavote.com

**Cryostar** · 12-11-2007, 05:23 AM

I can't see how Ghost Hunters is the top rated show on SciFi.....honestly.

I'm going to vote for Dresden.

dukesmom · 12-11-2007, 11:22 PM

FWIW - The Dresden Files won with 47% of the votes. Not sure how many total votes there were but with about 30 minutes left, the count was over 10,300.

Ghost Hunter had 44% and Flash Gordon had a distant 9%
