Krinkle posted:In one of the previous terry pratchett threads someone said that the vimes/carrot dynamic was ripped off or based on this tv show about canadian mounties and I would love to see that show. I don't suppose anyone knows a tv show about canadian mounties like that? I mean I could try searching the archives but I have never had any luck doing that ever. Probably Due South. I suppose Fraser is a bit Carrot like. (Plus, he's got a wolf, but I don't think they're romantically involved.)

I know nothing about Alzheimer's except that my Gran died from it, and it was a loving nightmare. Still, at least he won't be short of cash for any treatments they might come up with. (I suppose the thread title might have to change at some point in the future.)

Mokinokaro posted:I think it's simply that Pratchett's (and Adams') work really relies on the written medium. Word puns and such are a lot harder to time correctly when done in film. It's the same with Wodehouse. You can have some perfectly nice, pleasant adaptations, but it's nothing compared to the joy of actually reading his sentences. You just can't get the writing across in any other medium.
