I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Vimes. As I read Guards-Guards and Men at arms and currently midway thought Feet of clay I watched with great fascination Vimes rise from the gutter (literal and metaphorical). He is a GREAT cop, possibly the best. He is not smart but he is smart enough to see where and when he is not smart enough. And I can't love him enough for all that... BUT. Every time Vimes goes on his over-the-top egalitarian rumbling my inner voice keeps saying "just shut up already, please", same goes for his fatalism.
Still, one of my favorite parts of the entire series is men at arms culmination, specifically Vimes overcoming and destroying the gonne.
