The Watch infuriates me
it could've been so good
and then they fucked up the world
and then they. did something. to the plot. put it in a blender, maybe. also Carcer's there, somehow.
I adore he/she Vetinari. Also Cheery & Vimes & Carrot & Angua & the forty minutes BBC America could afford to CGI Detritus into an adaptation of a British book series
except for that bit where Detritus is actually. Just a guy. Like. Detritus is not that smart. He has to think about the order of the words. I didn't get that image from Watch!Detritus. also where's Nobby. And what is happening with Sybil. ??????
also. CMOT Dibbler. was. apparently. in it. that was. ok sure. I mean your wrong, but sure.
Good Boy is best boy. I love him. The music is fun.
Death doesn't work but only partially in that usual way he doesn't really work in the same way that you can't really manage live adaptation Auditor's either, and mostly in that he feels like a plot device. Except for that one scene in Angua's past that I really really liked, that worked really really well
Dammit {whoever the show runner for BBC America's The Watch was} if you wanted to make an original show you really, really, seriously-you-shouldn't-have butchered a beloved book series like this
I like it. It works. It's just not Discworld.
You can't sell not Discworld as Discworld. Which is what you did.
Which is why everyone hated it. It works fine on its own. Slap some different names on and it'd've done okay, if not well. But you didn't.
