I'm sorry, but you cannot convince me that Vetinari and Death are scary people. In my book, scary people don't leave dog biscuits on their animals grave every week for over a year. They also don't try to pick up a book that's so big it crushes them and they have to call their roommate servant for help.
They're just little dorks that have to throw their weight around sometimes for the greater good.
(I woke up thinking this and had to share. What has my life become?)
Happy Birthday Terry Pratchett π π₯³
First off, the first Discworld book I read was Reaper Man, so I would totally suggest reading that one first.
Along those lines, I think my favorite (main) character is...Death!! He's such a dork I love him.
Lastly, my favorite book has got to be Making Money. It was the third Discworld book I ever read, and it has my favorite character interactions in it. Also, my favorite side character Cosmo Lavish!!
(I don't care what anyone says, my man did nothing wrong.)
I hate being an angry cryer. Do you know how much it sucks to get upset at something and immediately lose all ability to express yourself calmly and clearly (and therfore lose your credibility in the situation)?
The more I watch Columbo, the more I'm convinced that he's a supernatural being and that the Columbo Dimension is a fate far worse than Hell.
thank you so much Sherman Potter for agreeing to be the diversity hireππ it must have been so hard to be the only heterosexual in the cast
They really don't want Larry to win, huh? Got him digging his own grave, starting to regret falling in love with Mr. 104, and worrying about what will happen to his space parasite baby when he dies.
Oh yeah, and the whole "I'm not ready to say goodbye" when Rita's on her deathbed even though he's all but accepted his own death?!
After EVERYTHING that's happened from seasons 1-3, let him have a happy ending or just let him die already.
Um...I have a few thoughts about this episode. It's not entirely negative because I think I liked it... but still.
The big thing is obviously the bi-generation and the splitting of the TARDIS. We have seen that the TARDIS is a living being with a personality. It even got a human form and confessed it's feelings. So what does splitting it do?
Also, New Who has made it a point to make REgeneration a big moment for all of us. We are saying goodbye to a face for good. If they ever reappear, it's at an earlier point in that Doctor's history. We will not get any REAL new stories from the timelines perspective. A favorite doesn't return return unless visiting them in the Doctor's mind.
Does Bigeneration cheapen our emotional connection to a certain Doctor? A Doctor that we've tuned in to watch each week for several seasons and then cried as they come to terms with being replaced. The monolouges and goodbyes that were beautifully written to comfort both the Doctor, any companions, and us the audience?
And really, that's all I'm worried about. How does this change how we view the most beautiful moments of Doctor Who, old and new? The grief and acceptance we go through each time with a new companion or a new Doctor. The loss and beginning anew? I love checking in on companions from different runs.
But if one Doctor is settling down and one is still going on through the stars, which one gets the happy ending? Because leaving 10/14 to live his life and never checking in on him again, he's just like a companion or the severed hand Doctor in a lot of ways. And the now "main" Doctor? Is he not still going to struggle with the same things?
Lastly as just a side note, did the Toymaster purposely missgender Missy? Because she was dying at the end of Capaldi's run and that looked like a woman's hand grabbing the gold tooth that he had trapped "The Master" in after he had won the game. I'm of the belief that 13th's Master takes place before Missy because of the character development we saw throughout 12's run ending with her "dying" alone instead of betraying the Doctor.
It was 15 years of heartache for the Doctor and Donna's family, but for Donna and her daughter they just girl bossed their way out of it in only 5 minutes.
Good for them.
Were orcs ever mentioned again after Unseen Academicals? Like, we got to see golems and goblins civil rights expand throughout multiple books, but I don't remember orcs ever making a return appearance. Granted, I still haven't read every book in the series, but still...
I just started the original All Creatures Great and Small series. I think it's really great and charming so far, but I'm only on episode 2 and they've already killed a horse and a dog. Idk if I have the mental fortitude if it's going to be an every episode thing.
Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
