Talking about a smile that Jane did that showed a canine isn't Spam. Or maybe it is. But, compared to some of the other threads on this forum, it's nothing.

I tried 'the smile' on my girlfriend when it seemed like a time necessary for it and she just said 'why are you looking at me like that?'

It only works for girls, methinks. Guys make it look stupid.

OnTopic (if the smile doesn't count): Is it ever stated how powerful Farrar was? I mean, she's the Police Minister, (or Deputy, whatever) but it doesn't mean she's powerful. The only thing I remember her summoning was Yole, an imp.

I'm sure she was powerful, otherwise how did she get so high up power wise? She had a seat on the Council, she Glamoured (or Charmed) herself past Nat's sensors, etc.

We don't know Farrar's dead, we just know she was never heard from again.

Meh. I like to pretend. Besides, I think Mr. Stroud ment she died, but put it in a politish/sarcastic way by saying "she was never heard from again, presumed dead." But I'm not jumping to conclusions.

I dunno. It's more like that she's dead, unless she's needed for the plot in another book. Stroud left her death vague so that he could use her again if he needed to.

Defying the difinition of "Trilogy".
But that would be okay if he made another one... the "Bartimaeus Bible" I think he mentioned it, somewhere in the answered questions...

A trilogy is a series of three books. Which, as I constantly explain to people, means that LotR is not a trilogy because it is one story split into 6 books and three volumes.

It seems I'm not alone.
Besides, I like to think of The Hobbit as part of LotR.

The Hobbit was for kiddies. But you can't include teh Silmarillion, because it's a different style of writing.

The Hobbit was more of a prologue to the series.

And Stroud can still write another book based in the world of Barty, it doesn't have to be part of the Trilogy. It's not like anything is particularly stopping him.
