I must say I was dismayed at Melissa’s behaviour during this podcast. From time to time I have noticed that she tends to take control of the podcast and just spout her views over the others’ views, but this week was out of control. What’s with the yelling at Frak like that? I thought his theory made sense and frankly, the Fidelius Charm is a confusing bit of the books. Please reign in the bitchiness…yes that’s what it was, I’m sad to say; I mean I lay in bed as I listened and was furious at Melissa’s attitude!. You know a lot about the books, Melissa, but your co-hosts know a fair amount as well! Give them some credit and be patient, for heaven’s sake! Would have been more profitable, I think, to just listen to Frak’s theory and reason it through with him.
And Sue, PLEASE STOP APOLOGIZING for commenting so honestly and openly about how you feel about the books! I love hear your views, especially when you talk about being a single mom as I was raised by a single mom and grandparents. Don’t be sorry, Sue. Just talk about your feelings =)
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and all the best for Christmas and the New Year.
Why isn’t pottercast.com working? It says:
Status: 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: text/html
Application error
Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html
It’s been like that for a few hours :S Sorry I didn’t really know where to post it but does anybody know why that’s happened?
And to a couple of commenters: PLEASE LEAVE MELISSA ALONE.
Thank you :)
PotterCast site is down again!!!
Exact same message as before, server must be stuffing up or something.
If it isn’t up tomorrow or by Thursday, I will scream cause by then I will have something of great importance and worth to show ya’ll. I cannot wait to reveal what I have in store.
Great Podcast guys!
I noticed something, though, that did not make sense during bit by bit. When you guys are talking about us seeing Voldemort’s memory of the night he killed the Potters, Melissa mentions that he sees James, through the window, entertaining Harry by conjuring puffs of colored smoke from the tip of his wand. But then, in the same sentence, you say that Lily and James were caught off guard, both without access to their wands when Voldemort came in. I don’t have access to my copy of DH so I can’t look it up, but what’s the deal there? If James had his wand one second, why didn’t he the next? If the explanation is that he dropped it in the chaos, your (IMO very good) point about the Potters becoming lax in their “constant vigilance,” and the ensuing discussion about the Fidelius charm, are wrong.
