Huh?

Apparently someone has been leaving drive-by comments all over LJ that just say:

very interesting, but I don't agree with you

I got one on a link at ds_noticeboard 

Why would anyone bother to do this?  (I'm not upset about it, just confused)

the best is probably 'Guards, Guards" but his character changes a lot in the series "night watch' is better for him as a grown character... although if you just want a quick bit the end of "the fifth elephant' when he confronts Angua's brother is excellent

(okay, that was fairly unhelpful, sorry)

No, that's helpful! I remembered that he changed a lot during the series and that's why I was asking. I have "Guards, Guards," and "Fifth Elephant" here, so that works. Not sure why I never got a copy of Night Watch--I really liked it.

what I love about Night Watch is how they tied all the little bits together, from the hard boiled egg to the sprig of heather (or whatever it was)

Oh, yeah, that was nifty. And young!Vetinari. Before he was *quite* as seamless in his plotting.

he certainly was a LOT more sneaky (and snarky) when he grew up!

"Go fetch!"

Vimes in Fifth Elephant for the win :D


Sorry that was waaaaaaaaay too enigmatic even for me

OMG, I love that scene, and especialy later, when the local constable is all 'oh, you probably didn't realize what he'd do..." and Vimes says something about, 'err, yeah, you believe that if you want..."

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

That I don't remember so clearly but it certainly sounds like him :D

Vimes is so snarky, it's great!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Snarky and deadpan - he'd be right bugger to work for...

better than my current bosses, at least Vimes has a sense of humor

You have to be careful where he's pointing it though ;-)

'pull the other one kid, it's got bells on it"

I loved early drunk and snarky Vimes
