At least Sir Terry's health seems to be holding up.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

I worry about Sir Terry.

Law and Order: Ankh-Morpork.
I commented in Natter, but will say again, I'm cautiously hopeful.
I loved Going Postal so much that I might name my next dog Pump 19. But, the City Watch is so perfect, I don't know that it could be done justice by a tv series.
Next, they'll being doing the Nac Mac Feegles and I will be very sad.
...Oh no, apparently Sam Raimi is already directing Wee Free Men. I say again, Oh NO. I get a very bad, Willow-esque (the movie, not the witch) feeling about this.

I just finished Season 4 of new Doctor Who (except the specials). I want to have David Tennant's babies! I still love Chris Eccleston too though!
I love this show so much, and I can't believe I waited so long to watch it!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I don't know Wee Free Men, but a series based on the Watch sounds like it could be innovative enough to work. I didn't see Going Postal (I have to find it, though - one of my favourite Discworld books) but I wasn't too impressed by the TV film of Hogfather. But since I got the impression no one else was either, they might have learnt from that.

Going Postal was well-night perfect. Definitely worth tracking down.

For Red Nose Day the BBC has put "The Curse of Fatal Death" up on the Doctor Who website:
The first thing that Steven Moffat wrote for Doctor Who.
ETA: there's also some casting news for the new series on the site.

"The Curse of Fatal Death"
Ooh, I remember watching that at the time. That was Moffat? It was hilarious!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Weird. I liked Hogfather much better than Going Postal. I had just listened to the book, and felt that they Missed the Point on a couple themes that I saw as central to the book, but I recognize that YMMV.

I thought the pacing on Going Postal was much better: I bogged down about halfway through on Hogfather and never actually finished watching it...
