The Great and Secret Knowledge
Dean Eaton is back and ready to go! This second half was somewhat less hilarious only because the film itself was less so and we seemed to be sapped of energy because of it. But don't worry! We made it work! As always, we knuckled down and made ourselves presentable because damnit we're professionals and that's just how we do it. End of.

Extended Notes
Atun the turtle knows why he's going near a star
no one else knows
the octavo is taking action, its pedestal is shaped like discworld and tilts to move the turtle
rincewind falls - and doesnt die!

"did i just leave the world only to fall back on it again?"
2:30 "is that me, or is it getting bigger?"
protestors mobbing against wizards
"wizards out, wizards out!"
TC puts on big hat, getting inducted
"one small step for a wizard into the unseen, one giant leap for the unseen university"

back at the tower, Ashkente rite takes place
death shows up
"i was at a party, you know"
TC asks why the red star is getting bigger
its because the turtle is moving towards it
the octavo needs the eighth spell which is why it turned to grab rincewind
all spells must be said together at solstice or many worlds will die
where is rincewind?
"in the forest of skund, rimward of the ramtop mountains, feeling very sorry for himself"
death thinks the party will go downhill at midnight
trymon talks to the orangutan librarian
"whoever says all the spells when the disc is in danger will gain ultimate power...to save the world. Yes, and that."
Trymon tells Horace not to tell anyone else about this secret. He gives H a banana. He says rincewind must not die until they get him back and empty his head
Tourist shows up. RW doesnt want him to haunt him
turns out hes still alive and dangling from a tree
"the turtle must have caught us somewhere?" why? who knows
where are we? tourist sees a stonehenge
Trymon says get rw alive to save the world
old one eye sees the chest open show the gold and keep moving
2f and rw are seeing nature sscrifice thing
sex and violence usually at the same time
2f sees the cult coming, they hide
old one eye and chest arrive
about the chest:
"hes very loyal. if loyaltys what you need in a suitcase"
theyre going to sacrifice hottie
2f steps in to disrupt the party
old one eye moves in, grabs rw, demands info
"his name is 2f and hes not from these parts"
old one eye wants the chest
star is getting bigger
"you ever done this sort of thing before? rushed into a temple, killed the priest, got the gold, and saved the girl? not in too many words no. you do it like this."
one eye rushes in
rw encourages 2f to go, he rescues hottie instead. shes not that into it. she didnt eff for eight years so she could be with moon goddess and they messed it up
rw gets kncoed out, one eye stabs priest
rw is dreaming, weird visuals he hs a very important task
"its not even a flesh wound"
girl wont let then rescue her. one eye disagrees
"dont just lie there you daft cow, help me up"
the seven spells want him to come back and return the eighth. he mustnt let the wrong wizards get his spell
he must bring it back at the solstice. hes mad at them for ruining his life. he will be a real wizard again if he turns over the spell
2f wants to stay for the druid rite but rw tells him the solstice festival is best in Ankh Morpork
he wants to see the temple at bel shamharoth. where no one has returned alive
the river snarl runs right past it on our way to the celebrations at ankh morpork
they do their bro handshake
wizards attack, they hide in sacrifical altar
rince and tourist make it to a sacrificial pyre and the wizards are outside telling him theyve come for him
RW: "even by wizard standard, trymon is a nasty piece of work"
"if that star is an omen, were all going to die. how about the death star?"
they roll out action hero style, wizards stormtrooper shoot them until one goes right for rw. 2f takes the shot
back to the protest

wizards havent been able to find rincewind
one eye kills a guy
rw drags knocked out 2f, props him up
who saved them? cohen the barbarian
hottie is way into it
its him but hes gotten super old
hottie: "Bards still sing songs about you. I never get anyroyalties."

rw doesnt believe ittarot cards, 1st is the star
four of elephants
ace of turtles
death
"is he really dead?"
lady makes a sort of medicine. he needs to drink it
rw drinks
he freezes and leaves his body
where am i going?
weird black and white death zone, hourglasses of rw and 2f
rw arrives in driveway of big house
he looks for 2f
sees a big pendulum blade
2f is watching it
"where are we exactly?"
"were sort of informally dead"
rw drags him out
death says
"i so seldom have company"
"ive never been in deaths door before"
they run down the drive
death rides up with a scythe
hottie wakes up rw
2f hugs rincewind for saving his life
"the horse people are very suspicious"
picture guy paints whats really there, rw didnt like what he saw
back at the wizards, trymon burned a magical chair. he goes over the agenda
rw is item 1
star is item 2
trymon sent a hero to find rincewind
wizards find that ridiculous
a heroine named Herrena is coming to grab rincewind
cohen says horse people have decided to give the team mounts and horses to get to the river
rincewind decides to split with cohen
cohen doesnt know how to deal with sincerit
rincewind explains how 2f always focuses on the positive wherever they go
cohen likes his eyes
"they can see for 50 years"
cohen agrees to travel with 2f, hottie comes with
"in case Cohen needs anything rubbed"
star even bigger, 2f asks if theyll be burnt up, rw doesnt know
rw says hottie has taken a shine to cohen
cohen says hes 87
2f says "who could possibly attack us now?"
Herrena continues to follow
big vistas and generic music
near the troll bone mountains
2f tells cohen about dentures
Herrena knocks out the crew and brings them to a big rock cave
2f and rw argue because the ladies ruin rincewinds cunning lie
old troll mountain - really old trolls turn to stone
fire is going to upset him because theyre all standing on his tongue
troll waking up is a real nightmare
rw and 2f are still tied, runningish
troll moves in their direction
boys fall down
wait how does sun work if discworld is freely moving through space?
rw tells 2f what he really thinks
the goons are back and have the boys
cut to clamoring peasants outside university
destroy false wizards!
the trouble is the archchancellor just isnt a team player
lesser wizards plot to kill the AC
theyll do it all together
they do a trap with a banana component
looks like AC got covered by drywall yogurt
he escapes!
then has a growly freakout
they bang a gong to get the ferryman ove
its foggy
ferryman is hooded
"youre not the usual ferryman"
Herrena orders men to grab Cohen
he pops out and demolishes everyone
Rws fight is so dumb
he gets knocked out twice then bonked by the chest
2f is cheering on the fight
cohen hurts his back
Herrena preps to stab
hottie cracks her on the head with a stick
hottie and cohen are getting married
rw thinks its a bit odd
wonders how cohen will have the stamina
cohen agrees with the concern, but he thought rw was talking about her
octavo is itchy
AC growls some more
AC is pissed about hero not getting rw
so hes going to consult the octavo
"we have gone beyond wisdom"
aint that right
hottie is bethann
people are going bugfuck
rw asks why
guy says disc is going to hit the star
the spell speaks thru rw and says the star is life not death
cohen gets trolls teeth dentures
Bethan his betrothed
he wants a wedding dress and a steak
rw and 2f come across rubes burning magic books
people decide to slowly advance on rw
AC enters octavo room
orders wizards to unlock the chain
rw tries to do magic, but cant
2f hypes him up
guy says all the magics gone
rw does a wind spell that pokes a guy
then rw faints
"I have a wizard!"
luggage returns and breaks up the mob
wizards get the chain off
AC grabs the book and heads to the great hall, locking the other wizards inside the room
the star has other worlds around it
2f called them spots
rw says no, but doesnt have a name for them, knows theyre things floating around the star
he just jacked someones fur off their stand and they didnt even react
they get to the lower cellars
we hear wizards shouting
upstairs AC is climbing up
RW goes to the octavo room door and sees that its the other wizards
the masters of wizardry are in there
rincewind tries to open door but the guy says he doesnt have the magic for it
rw tries to prove him wrong
blue magic floats out and turns the lock
door opens
the wizards fill him in
people are screaming so the wizards go to check it out
are demons coming through? guy says no but worse
2f runs madly into the tower
he just jacked a guys sword no problem
rw has to follow
2f: "this is an adventure, isnt it?"
book comes down
octavo is done
2f picks it up
RW takes it and goes up top
he says im not crazy and then talks to himself
AC greets him and welcomes him to enter
his eyes are green flames briefly
"the 8th spell, give it to me"
AC tries to kill Rincewind but the big book blocks the shot
chimp librarian climbs tower
"these statues look like wizards. "they are the wizards! there are? they were."
2f is looking for sword
rw tries to crush AC with book
then falls down
ac falls on a banana peel and the spell hits him in the mouth, turns him to stone
rw is inside the book
rw is actually hanging off the stone
rw drops
cohen grabs him
death is annoyed again
rw returns the spells to the book
isnt all this magic exciting?
cohen isnt impressed, he likes stage magic
book floats up and vanishes
suddenly worlds move towards the disc
theyre all new turtles with discs!
theyre itty bitty
"thats 2flower, he just appreciates beautiy in his own way"
sleepy Atun looks kinda suss
theres a turtle flying up over the sunset
why only 8 and not hundreds like actual turtles
magical octavo drops and lands in the luggage
it wouldnt tell 2flower where it had put it
poor Trymon fell over and broke
2flower is going home
rw is upset
"you havent really been anywhere until you get back home"
Cohen and Bethan got hitched
he stole the dress for her
they go to do their homey shake
rw hugs him instead
it feels like the end of a summer love affair
the tourist knows he'll never come this way again
if he goes again he'll go somewhere else
i wish he wasnt so closed off a character
the patrician!
he peers out of his litter, confirms that 2f is leaving, and bows his head
the luggage arrives to assist rw
he doesnt want it but eventually caves
Cohen and Bethan wave as the ship floats along the pier
the real ship and dock would be all shouting, instead its all serene
the scientists from the start do a joke and thats it
its all a question of perspective?
