It's a good book and shows off a very rich world that's already built. The only properly bad starting points would be 'Unseen Academicals' or another of the small handful of discworld duds.

There are some pretty sharp edges hidden amongst some of that 'comic book-y' stuff, especially early on. I definitely would not classify Pratchett as naive.

The Moist books start out with a very good one, then suffer from diminishing returns, which means people who have read them in order will have lost their goodwill towards the character and may take an uncharitable view of the 'series'.
By contrast, the other series have their strongest books mid-series with: 'Witches…

I always thought that Small Gods and Pyramids were set centuries further in the past than most of the other books, later books mention Brutha as a long dead prophet and a more genteel kind of Omnism.

The Last Continent is pretty good as well, although it's less Rincewind centric than the others.

What's wrong with Frasier episodes?

The great emu war in Australia is named after the weapons it was fought with: live emus swung like golf clubs. A similar story with the UK-Iceland cod wars.

They could call it "Better Call Saul, Who Will Then Call Mike If The Reason You Are Calling Saul Is one Such That Mike's Assistance Is Required". It just dances off the tongue.

Assuming that the other guns were their service weapons it makes sense that they wouldn't use them. If they'd seen Die Hard the previous night things could have gone differently.

Russell? Is that you?

Well, we could replace them by either letting the Prime Minister take on the head of state regalia or with a parliament-appointed ceremonial figurehead. But given that the Queen would probably be removed in an instant if she ever tried to exercise her theoretical authority, its really not that much of a big deal.
The…

Yeah, but looking at ITV's track record, the idea that they would be making the next Breaking Bad or The Wire if they weren't distracted by Downton Abbey seems … hard to credit.

Given that there are dragons eggs in the first episode that's hardly a massive spoiler.

Yeah … that's not even close to being a statistically significant result. Its literally a variation of 1 or two men between two groups of around fifteen men. It's possible I'm taking this too seriously.

You could do a parallel-quel or mid-quel or whatever based around Enver Gjokaj's character.

There already was a tv series version in the 80's that has quite a good reputation.

Seperately, or in some kind of crossover event?

In my defence, there are about 100 different books discussed before your comment. Expressing yourself clearly can also be a magical thing.

Are you implying that you were planning to try exsanguination until beema commented?
