Similarities Between Columbo And Vimes:

Similarities between Columbo and Vimes:

Always finds the criminal(s)

Absolutely love and worship their wives

Cigar addicts

Always investigating/mingling with the rich, but doesn't fit in with that crowd.

Later has other, younger detectives following them around and introducing new ideas and techniques.

Short little guys.

Not to mention that Pratchett wrote something along the lines of "Being investigated by Vimes was like being nibbled to death by a duck." (I couldn't find the exact quote, but I know it exists somewhere.)

Which is a play on Peter Falk's quote about Columbo:

"Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck."

This was fun. Thanks for bringing it up!

Vimes and Columbo have so much in common it's crazy. (They're both coppers and are completely devoted & worship their wives)

Obligatory musical episode I see. Thanks Buffy for solidifying that for every show in existence. At least the cover for the theme sounds cool.

Not digging the Cassie/Jane thing going on though. I'm team Shelly all the way.

We (I) need more serious analysis and comparisons of Terry Pratchett and JK Rowling.

I'm talking:

Looking at their respective worldbuilding and writing styles.

Looking not only at the series they are best known for, but also their other works and what they entail.

Comparing their fan bases, known politics, and overall contributions to the world.

Obviously I am extremely bias, but I'm tired of seeing the surface level "Terry Pratchett > JK Rowling". I KNOW that, the real trouble is how do we convert others?

I wasn't on the internet when terfs tried to claim Sir Terry and were shut down hard by those who knew him. I'm thinking instead of always being on the defensive, now is a perfect time to to go on the offense.

I hate being an angry cryer. Do you know how much it sucks to get upset at something and immediately lose all ability to express yourself calmly and clearly (and therfore lose your credibility in the situation)?

I Mean, It's Kinda Hard To Make A Dude Into A Different Species, Expecially When You Have The Budget

I mean, it's kinda hard to make a dude into a different species, expecially when you have the budget of exactly 23 cents. Even if you know what it's suppose to look like.

Every time I see an orangutan in media I have to wonder if the creators have ever seen an orangutan.

Exhibit A, Dr. Zaius:

Every Time I See An Orangutan In Media I Have To Wonder If The Creators Have Ever Seen An Orangutan.

But I can’t complain too much, I mean; can you imagine THIS GUY trying you for heresy?

When My Roommate's New Kittens Get Into My Lunch I Left Out:

God I hope I'm done with Man of La Mancha before I get an animal next semester. I don't want to name a cat Dulcinea, but I will if I have to.

In the original The Wolf Man movie with Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the character at the end of the film gets beaten to death by his father with a silver cane. This is because a werewolf can only be killed by silver in the hands of someone who loves them.

When Larry Talbot appears again in Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, he now has a scar from where he was beaten. I don't remember if this scar carries through to the rest of his appearances in later media, but it shows that at least at the beginning, Universal Pictures cared about the continuity of their monster movie stories.

My point?

Don't have one.
