    The Watch update

    ...so Howl's Moving Castle took a 90-degree turn and became yet another Miyazaki vehicle instead of the complex psychological portrait it is. Good Omens languished for decades until Neil Gaiman managed to keep enough control over it to keep it fairly true to its origin. Unless Narrativia can...

    The BBC Watch really belongs here

    Two words: "Good Omens". ;) Seriously, though? Even the Discworld cartoons (sorry, "animated series") looks and sounds better than the BBC Watch right now.

    Good Omens.

    ...Power of Three (1976) by Diana Wynne Jones: "A curse obeys the same laws as everything else. It contains the seeds of its own decay." Good Omens (1990): "You see, evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction. It is ultimately negative, and therefore encompasses its downfall even...

    Sandman on Netflix

    The audio version recently released on Audible (adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs, whom people may be familiar with from his work on the audio versions of Good Omens, Neverwhere, and Hitch-Hiker's Guide 3-6) is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Impressive that people are doing analysis on the Good Omens musical, given that it's only in 'workshop' stage at this point. A team in Sydney, Australia are putting it together. They held a "shoestring" work-in-progress performance last year which some of the Australian Discworld Convention team...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    There is a huge amount of analysis of Good Omens on tumblr sites, both Novel and Series (and some of Radio and Musical). Yet there are topics and interpretations that I have not seen covered. There is, for instance, admiration of Michael Sheen's microexpressions, which are read as giving...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    ...story that is not horror, and the intended approach seems to fit Gaiman's original half-a-story, "William the Antichrist", which became Good Omens. Also, it is fairly short and intended to be fairly light in parts, and as such might be considered to be roughly equivalent to the half of GO...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    ...Callaway used were Moving Pictures (for PTerry) and Coraline (for Gaiman). Moving Pictures was published in 1990, the same year that Good Omens was published. Moving Pictures was the tenth Discworld book, and it was after Guards! Guards! I think it qualifies as a representative sample of his...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    There is a statement by Pratchett (reported somewhere by Neil Gaiman) about the writing of Good Omens, which is that they brought back characters who had died in the Novel because "nobody should die because of Adam." I take that to mean that even Ligur comes back, and there's an issue that I...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Elizabeth Callaway, a specialist in literary analysis, worked up Good Omens and found evidence in the styles of who wrote most of which parts. As they always said, each of them had a finger in each part of the book, but some were more noticeably in one's style than in the other's style (but note...

    "Staged", planned to come out in June 2020, starring Tennant and Sheen

    Considering the chemistry that Tennant and Sheen formed between them during Good Omens, I'll definitely be giving this a watch.

    Discworld has found its home

    I always find the best adaptations are the ones in my head when I read the books. I have to say the recent adaptation of Good Omens was excellent. As to the other DW films, they were alright, but I wouldn't watch them more than once. I'm not even sure whether I've seen Going Postal. :/

    What does Eric the Disposable Demon do in Good Omens, again? I don't think I remember him. Is this him?
