I'm way behind on Black Lightning, but I just finished episode 1, and I have to say that I love that Tobias Whale kills people using a harpoon?

I did not fully make that connection. What a great detail!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I would love for that to happen, but they've been talking about doing that series for a very long time. Until I see a trailer, I remain sceptical.
That said, I wonder who they'll get to play Vimes.

I wonder who they'll get to play Vimes.
I wonder who they'll get to play the Patrician. Alas, that Alan Rickman is no longer with us.

Pratchett had views on who should play some of the characters. The Patrician's description was based on Jeremy Irons (who played him in The Colour of Money). Charles Dance was very good as the Patrician in the adaptation of Going Postal.
He also envisioned Pete Postlethwaite as Vimes, but alas Pete is also gone.

I kind of always picture the Patrician as not far off from Monty Burns, personally.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ultimately, the two eps are not similar, but this week's Who did put me in mind of Crackers Don't Matter.
