Storm Front

[TheDoctorisin2181]

Susan was suppose to be black or dark skinned at least.

[darkfalcon434]

aww, where's the witty conversation with bob and the looooove potion?

[chahnster]

love it, but i wish his staff wasnt a hockey stick and his wand wasnt a drum stick XD

[143DO]

Where is bob?

[TeddyBearWithSexHair]

Buffy and Angel get like 10 seasons each and this only gets 1?? COME ON!

[nebostoopeth]

@TeddyBearWithSexHai

i watched this show last month and it rocked!!! they should bring it back. it is one of the best shows on sci-fi.

[Stupospoofs]

That place sure doesn't look like Mac's.

[xximxs0xb0redxx]

wat the heckk happened 2 Bob?????????

[memberjacket]

no toot toot? awe man.

[crissx123]

omg vampire action

[eggiex1]

Episodes 1 - 7 have been pretty fun to watch, but THIS episode has a hella-lot of action. It also seems out of place, and is definitely not consistent with the other episodes... WTF... I like the extra action, but I'm not too happy about the inconsistency...

[KenjiSenpai428]

What I had read previously was that the rest of the episodes were made to have their own style and flavor but Storm Front was based directly off of the actual book so it was in a style more akin to the story.

[candyapplez718]

YAY! im happy Susan's here (and even the Blue Beetle lol) but wasnt she supposed 2 b Spanish? did u here that Jersey accent? lmao

[thooker144]

About 10:00 the first real explanation of magic divisions.

[Katgirl1331]

I really liked this show and I thought Paul did a GREAT job as Harry. This show also led me to the audiobooks, which I love, with James Marsters reading who makes Harry Dresden's world utterly amazing!

[drawnseeker]

I love the reference to the blue beetle!

[drawnseeker]

wow, did they just skim the books or something. The show is still pretty good.

[pinkice1214]

when did he tell her about magic " i never read the book's" and how can u find the 2 hour version . who wrote this book i want to find it and read it too

[TheBratKingJareth]

The books are by Jim Butcher. The two hour cut of this is pretty hard to come by, I wish Lionsgate would release the extended version of Storm Front to DVD. They could release all three as a special disc. The original pilot, the episode cut, and the refurbished extended version (best version). I'd buy it.

[SeanMadcon]

When did he get a freakin cat?!!

[jmvattimo]

It's Mister, he's in the books

[Ghostbrass]

They switched Murphy and Susan's characters!

[Doth36]

Does Ancient Mi scare anyone else?

[xarexare2]

@Doth36 thought it was agent maybe i was wrong.

[Tensolin01]

Y isn't Bob in this? wtf?

[afrose71]

Definitely an out of place episode -- different apt., no Bob, and a cat? Love the show and look forward to reading the books.

[69Vampirebat69]

there are books!!?!?!?!?!

[ender1260]

You'll like the books even more. The show, as much as I love it, is very much watered down. It's limited by budget and run time, whereas the books are limited only by Jim Butcher's imagination. Much more epic, and by now I believe there are more books than there are episodes of the show.

[suffocatingrandomnes]

great series but i want to read the books.. which one comes first in the book series? cause i heard that it was storm front which confuses since this is episode 8...

[sethjarre]

The first seven episodes where made up by the writer's. Storm Front is the first book.

[chibicthulhu]

Storm Front is the first book, and I'm thinking this is actually the pilot because in this episode is almost *perfect* with the books, as in, in the books, Harry lives in a crappy basement apartment, with a cat, and Bob is actually *just* a skull, not a spirit that walks, instead he can only talk and sometimes be allowed out in the open.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Yes, this was the pilot. The Talking skull wasn't working so they revamped Bob into a Sir Simon de Canterville style ghost. It works better. There's a two hour version of this episode but it's hard to come by. I highly recommend it.

[shitfredis]

and he didnt drive a jeep in the books

[RavenAB12]

The Beetle was chosen because it doesn't have many modern parts. The Jeep was chosen for the same reason, it just works better because the actor is very tall and they didn't want to hurt him by making him sit in a cramped space for long periods of time.

[everlynnrayne147536]

Storm Front is first. The TV show is a bit different from the books.

For a full list of the books, look up "Dresden Files" on wikipedia.

[sigilkeeper]

it is storm front. almost none of the shows are based off of the books plots

[CloudLear]

storm front. It's really good

[Poesias360]

lmao gandalf ...

[axonn111]

he owned morgan and the demon so fast in a row. lol.

the book has better action.

[mynyun]

I like most everything about the series but the cops are portrayed as thick, dense, slow or just dumb. I mean seriously. It's like they were JUST MADE cops. Not even Law & Order CI is that bad.

[ShadeofNightmares]

I always pictured susan with black hair

[JDsXminiXme]

yeah i can see how this was the first in chronoligical order.... this episode seems really far out of place with the last episode... hes at a completely different residence and yes where is bob?

[sharisse04]

where's bob ?

[Tmcfour]

This was originally a 2 hour pilot. At this point they were still trying to follow the books. Bob was just a talking skull in the books. I'm not sure why they put it as ep8 in the chronology this is the first book.

[PolishShikamaru]

Mai actually looks kinda cute. For a lady from the Quinn Dynasty or so.

[flamebike92]

i also think that resturaunt at the end was named from captain luccio but that could just be me :p

[Powpengo]

What is Mai?

[cri8tor]

It's so much better watching shows on YouTube compared to Hulu. Hulu is just adding way too many commercials now.

[borimirtheboring]

The books are better but this show pretty much rocked.

[LegendaireLestat]

I wish they would release the version of his containing Bob.

[sinchume]

Dresden killed Snape!!

[ziggybomb55]

Ah man. Nice, you just ruined the story for everyone. :)

[aquadolphins247]

lol

[heliogabalus227]

Goddamn Harry Potter references... why? Why?

[jweigle23]

Isn't Morgan supposed to be taller than Harry? And on that note, who the hell is Mai? She isn't in the books... At least the first two....

[ChickFlickFroggy]

i know man this is a cheap representations of Butcher's work!

[pojunhoken]

ancient mai is part of the senior council of the white council

[ChaoticNero]

Mai is in the later books. And I don't remember, but I'm almost positive that Morgan is supposed to be white...

[pnerualevolI]

thtas how i imagined him lol

[idk6969]

they should make the books into movies

[LightzenoLZ]

Young Mai is hot!

[matthewsea101]

what happend to drinking the love potion???? dam this episode is so short compared to the first book...

[joekickabuttocks]

Did anybody notice that his car door was there? In all the other episodes he has no doors. And where was Bob?

[TheBratKingJareth]

We should petition to try to get them to release the two hour version of this episode to DVD. Of course I don't know how much good that will do considering this show had a petition to try to save it with over 15,000 signatures and the Scifi Channel ignored it...

[thatguyguy4]

ive read the books so ive been trying to look at this show from an outsiders point of view and i really like it i appreciate the plotline whic are very good and while not staying to close to the book what they have done with the series is amazing

[LegendaireLestat]

Good show.

[AgtBauer24]

Woah, what the...? He has some kind of badge/identification? This is the first time we see him actually show it...

[TheBratKingJareth]

Kirmani? He always had a badge. Dresden just has a business card and a PI license he gets after episode nine.

[Penily]

I always wondered how close Paul was to Harry's height. He does look really tall.

I just wish that they could have at least made Murphy short and blonde. I like the actor that plays her, i can't remember her name, she is really good. oh well. you can only wish.

I hope they might put Mouse in an episode.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Paul Blackthorne is very tall. He's roughly three inches shorter than the book version of Harry which is still extremely tall. He towers over Bob (Terrence Mann) and he's six feet tall. Mouse never appeared on the show. Mouse didn't exist in the books until book six. Storm Front (episode eight) was book one. So if the show had endured you had a long way to go before seeing a show version of Mouse. I miss this show so much.

[travsv]

i like the homage to the beetle also.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Yes, you see the Blue Beetle briefly. There were two reasons they couldn't use it on the show. Paul Blackthorne is a very tall man and it would have been physically painful for him in such a tight space for long spans of time. That sort of car is expensive and the Scifi Channel didn't have the budget for it or it's up keep. Also they thought they would have had to have a sliced one in half for internal shots. It was just more practical to switch it to a Jeep and it serves the same purpose.

[superherom03]

old beetles aren't expensive

[TheBratKingJareth]

Actually, yes, an old Beetle is very expensive, especially if you want one that you can slice in half and need replacement parts. Also it's impractical for six feet tall actors or taller, several hours in one of those would kill Terrence Mann's or Paul Blackthorne's spines. Old Beetles are some of the most expensive cars you can get.

[LegendaireLestat]

@superherom03 Old Beetles are very pricey. Ever been to a car show?

[TheBratKingJareth]

This episode was probably closest to the books though it was NOT my favorite. There were some great magick moments but unfortunately due to this being a cut down pilot episode there are a few plot holes and inconsistencies. The 2 hour cut of this episode (which actually has the ghost) is far superior in quality. Unfortunately it only aired on SciFi once and it was at three AM. If you can find the two hour version of this episode I strongly recommend it. Unfortunately it's not on the DVD set.

[Devourer09]

Is there a reason why Harry has bad luck with technology? Is that a thing with Wizards?

[TheBratKingJareth]

The more powerful a wizard is, the more he interferes with high-tech electronics. Harry uses a gas stove and an old phone for this reason. It's also why he does most of his work by candle light. He uses his issue with electronics to his advantage in Rules of Engagement and he mentions something bad happening to the microwave in one of the DVD deleted scenes. In Soul Beneficiary he briefly worries that his issues with technology might hurt people. This is also why he uses an old vehicle.
