Dresden Files on the Chopping Block?

'DRESDEN FILES' IN DANGER?
Rescue effort underway to save one of Sci Fi Channel's better shows

Is this a surprise? I hope they give it another season and start showing stuff in order. If you have to show your episodes out of order. It's seems like the show suffers for it. I think they should give Dresden another chance.

Dresden Files: Finally, The Pilot

Five or so episodes in, we finally get to see the pilot of The Dresden Files. I still don't get why they didn't show it first. It was an amazing episode. Harry used more magic in the episode than usual. The special effects were great. I liked that. I liked his girlfriend/sidekick. I wish she was a regular. We get some great Jedi and Gandalf cracks in this episode and it really has a good introductory feel to it.

I love that Harry got to hit Morgan in this episode. This is the only point where showing the episodes out of order has benefits. After all of the crap Morgan has given him in the current sequence of events, him slugging Morgan made me cheer. The bad part was the scenes with Bianca. After the intense episode with her earlier, when he approached her in the pilot it felt awkward; almost the previous episode didn't happen.

Guess what? I actually started to listen to the Jim Butcher audio books and this case was similar to the case I listened to. There were minor differences but enjoyable all the same.

Next week: Claudia Black!!!!

I Like SciFi's The Dresden Files

Harry Dresden is hot and the stories are decent. It's not the adrenaline rush that is Battlestar Galactica but I'd take it over Desperate Housewives any day of the week.

The latest episode of The Dresden Files introduced Bianca. She's an excellent addition to the show and I hope they have much more of her. Bianca is to Harry as Spike is to Buffy. In a round about sort of way.

I recently found out that SciFi is pulling a Fox and airing the show out of order. It should account for why the show seems like it's off to a dismal start. There's not enough back story. They should have shown the Bianca episode, Bad Blood, first. I think people would have more of a feel for the show and keep watching just for her. Not to say that Harry doesn't hold his own. It's just a bit tiresome when he has to play "Save The Bimbo of the Week" every episode.
