Subject: Re: Janette wannabe?
I watched the episode #05 of Dresden Files Bianca does come close a bit to
Janette but quite as memorable as she was, if Bianca is a re occurring
character in this series it could be interesting.

***Hmmm, I thought Bianca was a bit of Janette too, but I don't think she'll
be a weekly character. I think the Dresden Files is more about the main male
character's encounters with the paranormal (just my thoughts). I too hope
we'll see more of Bianca. Bianca is very similar to Janette, especially when
she told Dresden, "I didn't ask for this, but I accept it."

***I hope we see more of Bianca, but I don't think we will. I think this was
an episode, similar to many in FK. FK introduced characters that we never
saw again. I hope I'm wrong!!! Hmmm, maybe Bianca needs her own show?

I meant as a re occurring character she would be in a occasional episode
I wouldn't think she would be in every episode and the back story shown
in flash backs re Dresden implies a interesting history that could
be exploited by writers once in a while.

***I hope we see her in a reoccurring role!!! She really does remind me of
Janette. Bianca is the first female vampire since FK that reminded me of our
seductive lady!!!

***I did notice the flashbacks, and that too reminded me of FK. I wonder if
there will be Fan Fiction with crossovers of FK and Dresden Files--now
that's an interesting potential plot, including Bianca, Janette, Nick, Nat,
and LaCroix???
WE DO NEED MORE FK FAN FICTION, even if it is crossovers!!!

Subject: Re: Janette wannabe/Dresden Files vs FK?
The difference between Janette and Bianca I would say is Janette is subtle
sensual and perhaps less overt like steel in a silk glove and Bianca is more
overt and more hard edged not as subtle as Janette and I would think
Janette is more humorous I think but it's hard to tell with only one episode
showing Bianca it will be interesting to watch and comment on if Bianca
does appear in a few future episodes of The Dresden Files.

Yes, it is difficult with one episode, but I do think Bianca showed a
humorous side equal to Jeanette's. Some of her comments during tense scenes
had me smiling.
FK's Janette and Dresden File's Bianca are both assertive women who take
charge of any situation they're confronted with. I'm not saying the two
characters are identical, but Bianca is the first female vampire since FK
that has come close to Janette's character.
Also, it's nice to see a vampire who is not a teny-bopper vampire or
vampire-hunter. That last comment wasn't meant to be negative for Buffy, but
it's nice to see a bit older characters in the Dresden Files.
Hey, there's a market for every age group!

I think it's also fair to say that Bianca probably
isn't over 1000 years old :)
She referenced being alive in the thirties, perhaps as
a mortal. I looked on Wikipedia and Jim Butcher
(author that created the books that the series is
based on, really nice guy, I've met him several times)
has created an interesting Vampire caste system, very
unlike FK (with the exception of the carouches). I
find Bianca's lack of emotions actually very
appropriate. Not that Janette's fire isn't, they are
just different circumstances and universes.
