Can you drink a vampires blood without becoming a vampire? Maybe Greebo is a vampire now.

well it's a million times better than the previous ones there's the nugget of a decent action/sci-fi series in there, and honestly even an OK Discworld one they just need to get rid of all the kookiness and all the loving awful "comedy", and cast a Vimes whose acting talent isn't limited to just pulling one face all the time

Looks like a show produced and scripted by people who deep down, in their heart of hearts, don't believe that Terry Pratchett's setting or humor would work on TV in 2021. Which makes one wonder why they licensed the setting to begin with, if not to trick people who like Discworld into watching.

Space Butler posted:What I assume is supposed to be Detritus looks pretty good. Seconded. It's not Discworld, though it might be alright if it wasn't pretending to be, and Detritus is the high point apart from his "me thick troll" dialogue being about not knowing something that nobody else should know either.

she did in The Fifth Elephant, after a dwarf threatens her husband and child, rather than just because it looks cool (she goes on a tirade in Guard Guards (iirc) about people abusing dragons in that fashion.)

Considering how likely they are to explode without forcing them to shoot fire it doesn't seem like a practical weapon

I'll try and check out the first episode or two but I can't imagine I'd stick with it much longer. It just doesn't look like it'd be particularily entertaining or funny.

I'm gonna read some books. Not Pratchett, since I've already read those many times. Other books. Books are nice  you dont have to watch TV. You don't have to get mad.
