A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Theo, I loved it and have watched it twice through. Picked up all sorts of detail the second time around.
My only quibble has been trying to figure out when and why Moist's
outfit went all shiny
.
Was that symbolic of something?
But, in general, my favorite TV adaptation of Pratchett's work so far.
I'm hoping that the multiple mentions of
Thud!
means that will be the direction of the next production.
Also, nice to see
the great man himself there at the end. Bless his heart
.
Also, also, I loved the woman who
played Angua
and would love to see more of her.

That could be taken multiple ways. Because you are a Buffista, they probably all apply.
Goes without saying.
Except when I'm around, it gets said anyway. Which, come to think of it, is also very Buffista.
and would love to see more of her.
This was how I felt about the woman who played Susan in
Hogfather.
Unfortunately, I thought the production was generally uneven and didn't quite work for me. That's one of my favorite books, too.
The realization of the way the Clacks would look and act was beautiful, and how Our Heroes started hacking it was "shown not told" very well.
Loved the guy they had playing Vetinari, too. If they do more adaptations, I hope they get him again, he's as perfectly cast as Christopher Lee doing the voice of Death.
Is this miniseries UK only, or did it air in the US?

I agree, and felt the same about the Colour of Magic. Postal really captured the feeling of the Discworld, whereas I felt the other two were more 'kiddiefied.'
Then again, I don't see DW as a kid's show.
The production values and casting on Postal were perfect. Charles Dance is an awesome baddie, and in an interview he talked about how many, many Pratchett fans flew to the production to be extras and grumbled that Vetinari should have had dark hair. But as soon as Dance began walking around the set, they were totally accepting.
I'm not sure what Mr Pump looked like in my mind, but I loved the visual character.
More like the silent
Golem
movie golem, I suppose, but I can see how they'd want to create their own look. It's not like there's a vast assortment of golems from stage and screen to choose from.
Yes, Frank, this showing was UK-only, though BBCA would be foolish not to acquire it at some point.
Cereal: bonny, where did you find that interview? I'd love to read more about the production, and acquire the actual DVD if it has extras like a 'Making Of'.
