Birds Of A Feather

[elementpw3]

i love this dresden files im readin dresden files (changes) right now ftw

[Lobato1987]

That's chicago cool.

[pyramidsoldier123]

Aww, this episode went by too fast. :(

[xxmikeymassacre1]

how does that look like murphy?

[EternalMethos]

@xxmikeymassacre1 If you're that concerned with a character's hair style, I have to question your ability to function in society.

[voidmaster45]

I just dont feel like it does the books justice. Then again, those are some high expectations.

[DJSNuva1]

I hate it when people bitch about stuff like this. Please, if you can make a better Dresden Files show, notify me. Otherwise, stop bitching.

[Crayshack]

@DJSNuva1

Firefly is better, this show is a close second.

[mysintolovemen]

@voidmaster45 I agree. The Dresden Files show doesn't do the books justice. I've been listening to the audiobooks at work that are read by James Marsters and the feel of this show and the acting and flow just doesn't have the same vibe and quirkiness and brilliance as the books do. Of course, I'm sure reading the books is a lot different than listening to them but it's only my opinion, anyways. Plus Dresden and Murphy aren't at all like they are in the books.

[destroyer1187]

@mysintolovemen the show is alright in its own right. I do prefer the novels though.

[darkwulf23]

For anyone who wished to read the book about the dresden files, I recomend storm front, by Jim Butcher. Trust me, it's a good series.

[darkwulf23]

In my openion the writers took way too many liberties in the show. They changed the rules, the monsters, the relationships. The director should have sticked with the origional design.

[dreamzr4dreamerz]

JEEP?! JEEP?! WHERE'S THE BEETLE?!?

[vampsRkool]

I KNOW!

ALL HAIL THE MIGHT BLUE BEETLE

[TheBratKingJareth]

It's only a car.

[DarkDaysAhead]

I saw a comment where someone brilliantly and maturely referred to the fans of the series as "failsauce" for not standing behind the show 100% but chew on this for a second -- the reason this series was probably even ever thought of as being potential TV show material was because the fans were so into it. I doubt anyone would have looked at it at all if it weren't popular. So how is that for "failsauce". ;)

That having been said, the show seems fun but I still prefer the book. Two diff things.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Long live Terrence Mann's portrayal of Bob!

[williamcg1979]

don't like how they did bob. it's just not how i imagined him..., but that's just my opinion

[SunAndMoon13]

That's what I was thinking. How did you imagine bob from the book?

[TheBratKingJareth]

Why would anyonew ant Bob to be a talking skull? Bob was one of the things they vastly improved for the show. Even Jim Butcher said the ghost worked better.

[jadam914]

Damed SciFi. Why did they cancel this one?

[llamasrage]

Here I was downloading this series for a week and it's all on youtube. Thanks Lionsgate!

[Grumpy0Tiger]

Sweet tv show...I remember when I booted my sister from the tv to watch this show. lol I vaguely remember the show, though. hehe Nice that the person has season 1 listed for me. :p

[derekb414]

there called the dresden files by jim butcher and there awesome!!!!!!

[DrTmoney1]

Ive been reading them, Im on 4 right now

[jakefongloo]

kick ass so am i

[bradwolf07]

This was book series first? What were they called? I liked the show... I would love to read the books

[grimscott]

Harry Dresden Wizard for Hire by Jim Butcher

[USSYODA1992]

@bradwolf07 They're under the same name. The first one is Storm Front. I reccomend the audiobooks read by James Marsters who played Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[TheIsaka212]

In the book his dad died in like a freak accident on the stage performing and that ghost is Bob who in the book was sex crazed

[naruluvr]

true true, gotta luv that skull

[tahntalus]

ok so what happend to his dad? who is the guy in the skull? please explain people!!

[SocksOnRye]

watch the show...or read the books. they answer your questions

[0ttomaniaC]

CC?

[AleksanderAzrael]

I liked it better when Bob was a talking skull.

[naruluvr]

reply to AleksanderAzrael

OMG, same!!!!!

[speculative]

This show was a breath of fresh air. Too bad it was taken off the air. It was the only original show, in addition to BG, that I watched on Sci-fi...

[nubblets]

the books are so much better.

[kurumais]

i have a crush on murphy

[wearefruitcakes]

i am absolutely in love with the books but i think this is different enough for me to properly appreciate it for what it is lol

[0025683012]

34:15 That was unexpected and funny. :D lmao

[superherom03]

i think you mean 35:15

[chibicthulhu]

Why did they make bob... that guy

He's supposed to be a wisecracking skull.

[Lovecraft688]

This is a better Bob than in the books. . .sorry to say, but he is.

[EternalMethos]

Don't be sorry. He is better than the books.

[Tensolin01]

They did do a good job even if they messed up on some things lol. I do like The books better though

[Pieizgod]

Wow so many little discrepancies, between the book and this pile up and make this pretty wrong. Escpecially, Murphy is blondein the book, and where the hell is MacAnaly's Pub?

[Labeshop]

I really loved this show - wish it had more than 1 season.

[shadoeboi212]

isnt he spouse to have a vulcswagon

[CidDemyxSweeney]

Yeah. The TV series just kinda strayed from the books a bit here and there but it's nothing catastrophic.

[aarion17]

so can i watch the show and not have it mess up the book that i did not read

[omnione9]

yeah the stories on the show are way different from the books, he an bianca's relationship, hell he even gets a girl lol but i enjoyed the show as well it was entertaining.

[wastobe4me]

I just started book 6 and I havn't seen any of the shows. I don't know if I wanna watch--it might mess up the pics I have in my head. Can't help myself.

[druidboy76]

That was SOO Good!!!!!!!!

[miner23456789]

the books are INFINTISMALLY better

[deadmoral67]

that was...lovely

[Bluedrake42]

They need to start putting exclusive shows on youtube, that means shows like this and firefly could continue without fear of being canceled

[Billy2478]

sigh D= Why did this show not make it. I love the books and love the show!.

[DonnieTheWhite]

oh dear.

if this isnt good news for pagans.

-.-'

sheesh.

[XDarkScythe5492X]

BRING IT BACK!!!

[TheShamrockgirl]

The correct terminology for "wizard"...

is warlock.

[lookloser101]

NERD!!!!!

[klingerman11]

I was under the impression that warlock just meant liar....

[nate556]

@TheShamrockgirl

Wizard = good. or at worst, wizard = neutral. Warlock = bad

[logand85]

I miss harry and bob both being a smart ass to everyone.

[hekeshi]

It was absolutely nothing like the books I mean c'mon Murphy has a kid! Still a great show in my opinion though

[EternalMethos]

Susan has a kid in the books now.  Why not Murphy?

[comicsintraining]

Ah wow um did the writers even read the books????....

[godsmessagener]

i don't think so if they did they wouldn't have screwed up the story so much

[unicorndeath]

This is strange, at 17:20 there is a figure of a man with a sailor cap by the door? Is it a crop? Kinda spooky, like a ghost? I love this show :)

[Darkvirtue9]

the 2ns book seemed to be really diff. then the 1st book so I stopped readign them.

[joebobohobo]

NOOOO! Don't stop! The second was my least favorite :/ At least read the third one, i swear itll be way better than the second xD

[reelintina]

I am a loyal fan of the book series THE DRESDEN FILES, and have all the books. This episode is one written especially for TV. it has elements of the series, though.

I look forward to seeing more episodes of the series.

Go, Jim Butcher, go!

[TheBratKingJareth]

Jim Butcher, himself, makes an appearance in the What about Bob episode.

[Lampskull]

Is this episode based on any particular book?

[IamtheBurgermeister]

Wonderful! I haven't read any of the books because I'm not much of a reader but this is definitely changing my mind.

[surfbum500]

The books are AMAZING but after about the 8th one they get kind of dry, up until that though, its awesome.

[10icers]

AWESOME i loved the books there the best

[ShinyRayquazza]

Woah, they canceled this? It looked good. Maybe they should have advertised it more, I just found it by looking through Sci-Fi shows on here.

[qscer]

Hmmm, because of this, Sci-Fi reminds me of Fox.

Fox cancelled Firefly, everybody got really angry. They created a video; Serenity. Nobody was content. Firfefly stayed cancelled.

[sirfuzzyman]

The SciFi channel canceled this to put more money into Flash Gorden. Look where that show is now. The fools.

[darthspeaks]

@sirfuzzyman Flash Gordon was a pile of shit under another pile of shit under baseless displays of chest and ab muscles underneath another layer of shit compared this cool show.

[SlakeDragon]

very cool!! 8D

[kpsting]

nice. great introduction ep.

[HakerzTM]

Cool Episode

[JackCrazee]

Yeah, the dresden files rock. I hope they never take this show down.

[osmark0]

they already did. they are not making anymroe episodes. guess ppl didnt like it. if the books were more of a hit, then the show would still be on

[RavenAB12]

Though I think the show is better than the books, the books are still going strong.

[mrpotatohead34]

omg i KNEW teachers were evil!

[RavenAB12]

Just the skinwalker ones. :-P

[TheBratKingJareth]

The funny thing is the guy playing Bob isn't just a Broadway star. He's a drama teacher. Terrence Mann teaches Drama in North Carolina. So... Wait. Oh, my God! You're right. It all makese sense now! Teachers ARE evil!

[TheBratKingJareth]

:-P I'm joking, of course. I have a lot of respect for Terrence Mann.

[lonegrim]

I heard there making a movie of the 1st book

[TheBratKingJareth]

Book one was adapted into the two hour pilot for Dresden. That 2 hour pilot was later cut down for episode 8 "Storm Front." In early 2007 they revised that episode and added new footage with Terry Mann voicing Bob from the skull. That version was meant to be a bonus feature on the DVD but for some reason it wasn't. It did air once on TV. The first book technically already has a film. The trick is getting Lionsgate to release the refurblished two hour cut of Dresden Files: Storm Front to DVD.

[kingofpie102]

i liked this show when it was on

[brandon9271]

me too... I can believe they canceled this show, which was great.. while leaving lots of garbage still on the air.. especially reality TV like "Operation Repo"

[gymmee42]

30:00

[CheshireHope]

i loved this show and was heartbroken when the show went off the air. i'm glad to see it up here!

[darkevil923]

I'm confused

[TheBratKingJareth]

Why are you confused? It's not a complex show. These creatures are all beings from classic folklore, just in a contemporary setting. Harry Dresden is a wizard and private investigator. His roommate is a ghost. And supernatural creatures secretly live among us. That's the plot in a nutshell.

[theexplosion01]

I lol'd when I read your description of the show

that's just an epic description...

[TheBratKingJareth]

Thank you. :-)

[kaligoddess74]

I loved this show! Read all the books too. They need to revive it and do more episodes.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Sadly it looks very unlikely. Jim Butcher (author of The Dresden Files novels) was actually asked today on an interview with Bitten by Books "Any chance that Sci Fi might bring the Dresden series back to TV?" and his reply was "None whatsoever.' :-( I wish he was wrong. I would give anything to see The Dresden Files come back.

[ilovekitten1]

Wow, this owns "Charmed" or w/e that show was

[TheBratKingJareth]

Oh, yes, this was far superior to Charmed. Every aspect of the supernatural was well researched on this show.

[GoldGriffin80]

That's just one of the fundamental laws of nature, unfortunately: the good stuff NEVER lasts for long! :P I've just learned to try and enjoy it while it's still here, because before you know it, they'll replace it with mindless reality shows and the like...

[StaceyKay06]

I love this show! Why did they have to cancel it? Why why why???!!!??

[TheBratKingJareth]

I doubt anyone knows why this show was not renewed. It was so good.

[tamarw1]

I ENJOYED THIS SHOW VERY MUCH...!!

[TheBratKingJareth]

I miss this show and would give anything to see it come back with new episodes.

[jviiziivj]

i've never seen this show till now. it is killer. now i wish there were more eps.

[TheBratKingJareth]

I would give anything for there to be more episodes of The Dresden Files.

[DaystarDragon]

So much fun. I get that there are people who are like "Rawr, does not follow book" but it was low budget and a first season. following the books, would have been difficult, especially since it would take multiple episodes from the getgo and only devoted fans would care that much. Creating fun, new mysteries every week, even if not faithful to the originals, was a good move. Once again fans are failsauce.

[TheBratKingJareth]

I love the books and the show. They were each great in their own way. And the longer the books go the more I miss the show.

[ilie315]

its the hockey stick

[TheBratKingJareth]

I think it's very clever that a blue collar wizard would use an old hockey stick as a make-shift staff.

[MeetMyMetis]

That was actually my favorite element from the show. I have to admit, if I saw a tall guy in a long overcoat with a six-foot staff carved with runes, my first thought would probably be less 'huh, that's cool' and more 'dude, trying too hard.'

[LarryFromMcHenry]

i loved this show .

i cant believe they canceled this show. sci fi made a big mistake killing off this show. just think of the other shows they canceled that were good. ( i.e farscape and first wave)

[TheBratKingJareth]

I agree. There's no reason this show should not have continued.

[aminedude]

the was an awsome show a shame it was canceled

[TheBratKingJareth]

I agree. This was probably the most unique and original thing I had ever seen on the Scifi Channel.

[Silverterror]

This show is awesome! The fact that it was canceled is stupid!

[TheBratKingJareth]

I know exactly how you feel, Silverherror.  At the time it aired I felt it was the most original thing I had ever seen on the Scifi channel. It's been two years but I would still love to see this show come back somehow.

[TheBratKingJareth]

This is a very good and under-rated episode. This was the first TV show I had ever seen use a proper, Native American Skinwalker as a villain.
