Well, dwarfs aren't big on horses as a rule.

Wish they'd stop bloody announcing, make a thing and have a trailer. (I also am 99% sure they're going to totally gently caress it up, so hey.)

This doesn’t even read like an announcement, it’s more just a ‘this name is attached’. I feel like the journalist put it out there to keep the idea of the series fresh in people’s minds.

Aaaagh, there's a line in Good Omens about Crowley getting rid of nannies with "a wildcat tube strike." For the last decade and a half I just sort of assumed that "strike" meant "attack" and that a "wildcat tube" was some weird british 80's-era term for a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. I JUST WORKED OUT that no, Crowley didn't explode the nannies, he just utilised unexpected industrial action by subway workers to delay their arrival. Aaagggh. Anyway, carry on.

It's amazing how your brain fills that kind of thing in without effort on "your" part. For years (at least 20 years!) I just assumed that Marcellus Wallace could contact a group of fearsome criminal plumbers of some sort, naturally plumbers would have pliers and blowtorches and hammers etc. Ideal for torturing pawn shop owning rapists.

Finishing the Shepherd's Crown was rough though. It was several times when I considered putting the book away.

I literally only figured it out months ago when I was watching some British history doc. "Wildcat tube strike" had puzzled me for eighteen years. I'm reading all the Tiffany books finally. I never read Hat Full of Sky for one reason or another, but I finished it yesterday and it was really great. I'm at I Shall Wear Midnight now and it's depressing to see the writing quality start dropping. I'm still wary about Shepherd's Crown, too.... I don't want to read the last Discworld book ever. (But if it's better than Raising Steam then I'm sure I'll enjoy it)

So the Troll Bridge guys dropped a trailer looks like the end is in sight. I got a little nostalgia emotional for this.

I'm rereading Good Omens for the umpteenth time and there's a lot of stuff in it that makes me very worried about making it into a show that holds up in 2018. The casual firearms gags at Warlock's birthday and at the manor are bound to make people queasy in a way they wouldn't have in the 90s. A big catalyst for Adam to start exercising his powers is learning about nuclear power, which in light of global warming issues seems frankly quaint, as does all the new-age conspiracy stuff. And the riders' of the apocalypse activities are... not so much out of date as there are some more obvious situations you could tie them to these days, to put it diplomatically. Don't get me wrong, there are some immediately obvious ways you could update all that. Will they do it, is the question. And will it make things darker than they need to be, or does that just come with the territory of making apocalypse entertainment in 2018?

In the photos they released Crowley most certainly dresses like it's the 80s. That's gotta be a bummer, you wait 5960 years for your style to come along and then they end it all. Shadwell is described as an indiscriminate racist, yet likeable in a quaint way. And Agnes Nutter is more or less a suicide bomber. Look, all I'm saying is, some of the small things that set the tone of Good Omens are not gonna be met with a lot of acceptance anymore. e: I do trust Neil Gaiman a lot more to pull it off than I would any other writer, even if he was just adapting someone else's book.

Sadly "indiscriminate racist, yet likeable in a quaint way" is probably more acceptable these days than you like to think.

If you want some comedy regarding Agnes Nutter, watch the movie The Pit and the Pendulum with Lance Henriksen. They straight up ripped off the Agnes burning scene.
