I'm in the middle of my annual listen of the Nigel Planer audiobook. I love Death so much. The scenes where he's at Crumley's and the owner tries to get him arrested  Also Good King Wenceslas is one of my favourite carols and I love Albert having to mind the details that Death would never understand in that regard.

Kestral posted:Teatime - ahem, Te-ah-tim-eh - is a nightmare, and may be Pratchett's most unsettling antagonist outside of Carcer, and Carcer is a Joker expy so he barely counts. The idea of a child sitting up at night thinking about how to murder all the mythic holiday beings is both profoundly creepy and also something you can imagine an actual sociopathic child doing. I'm a bit past the point where his crew is rampaging through the tower, and starting to remember how much worse that side of the storyline gets, but vaguely enough that all I'm getting are flashes of imagery and a sense of looming dread. He is a very unsettling antagonist. He manages to be brutal and savage but in an interesting way. quote:Mister Teatime had a truly brilliant mind, but it was brilliant like a fractured mirror, all marvellous facets and rainbows but, ultimately, also something that was broken.

YggiDee posted:From what I remember Death just flipped Mort's empty Lifetimer, so he and Ysabell made it to maybe their mid-thirties. That was brought up in the book, and Death said that the lifetimers don't work according to the same rules of logic as normal time, and Mort had "enough" time
