The Light Fantastic/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about The Light Fantastic are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel The introduction of the star people is shockingly creepy, dark, and unsettling compared to the usual quirky villains.
    • Even Death finds them rather creepy. He can't understand the "death of the mind".
  • Recycled Script: Trymon introducing corporate business jargon (flowcharts and so on) to the wizards would later be done by Ridcully in The Last Continent — except here it's part of Trymon's creepiness, whereas in the latter case it's entirely played for laughs.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not Political?: The Star People, aided by the unusual seriousness and creepiness of the scene.
