Making Lady Sybil a vigilante doesn't just change Sybil, which is bad enough, it's also going to change Vimes a lot. I don't see how the Vimes of the books could ever be attracted to a vigilante. That's the antithesis to everything he stands for. I guess the show's Vimes will have to be fundamentally different to make that romance work.

Yes, that's a very good point. Vimes doesn't like people who take the law into their own hands (and even on the occasions where he arguably does so himself, he does so reluctantly). The bit in "The Fifth Elephant" where he kills Wolfgang by exploiting his canine instincts, and thinks about how he could say something smart and witty, but he doesn't, because then he would know for sure he was a murderer, suggests a man who can't be easy with vigilanteism.

He's fundamentally about the rule of law - it's telling that the only revolutionary type Vimes more or less likes is Reg Shoe, who is the world's most hopeless activist.
