Pratchett's "The Watch" New Series Trailer - Dark Horizons

The black woman is Lady Still, who commander vimes' wife, I'm sure this is not how she was portrayed in the books

For those who need Discworld explained to them, watch this four hour movie based on the first two books, the color of magic and the light fantastic

 

[daemonova]

This is also four hours but more exciting

"Sigh*

I guess we can have this conversation now instead of in January.

So.....in the books, there is a female dwarf. And in the world of the books, all dwarfs have beards.....so......BBC decided that..........since this character has gender identity issues......they casted a tranny

Disc World was a novel series I always meant to read.

I recommend:

Interesting times (rincewind pov) it's satires the communist revolution in china
Small gods (one off) satires catholicism
Monstrous regiment ( I won't spoil it)

Jan. 3 can't wait

For the record, I don't have a problem with them not sticking to canon as long as it is entertaining

How many books are in this...World? That's the right way to look at it, right? There are several series within this world, right?

That is correct

Terry prachett has got to be one of the most prolific writers of all time. There got to be at least 30 adult fiction books.

That's too grand for me, but I respect it. I'm pretty much a trilogy kinda guy. Three books is enough.

The Watch muddles Terry Pratchett’s Discworld with ‘edgy’ humor

I feel it, but I know myself. I'll start with a standalone, next thing you know I haven't read a damned thing other than Discworld for like 12 years. I just gotta say "no".
