(CBS’s Elementary v. BBC’s Sherlock) + My dad = Enraged Me
I am visiting my parents this week and last night I decided that I should introduce my dad to BBC’s Sherlock. Now I remembered my mother telling me that he had enjoyed Elementary, CBS’s attempt at making a US version of Sherlock, and I thought this would be ample time to enrich my dad’s cultural knowledge of good television. However, after A Study In Pink (Season [Series] One, Episode One) all my dad had to say was that he liked Lucy Liu as Doctor Watson over Martin Freeman. Ignoring him, I continued having him watch the series and boy did he have more insults for what in my opinion is the most well written show of our generation. The most infuriating of all comments was that Andrew Scott (a.k.a. Moriarty) was not in fact true to the books. Bitch Please! He didn’t stop there either. He went on to say that both Sherlock Holmes actors (Benedict Cumberbatch [BBC] and Jonny Lee Miller [CBS])were the same in the portrayal of the literary great. Last time I checked that would be impossible since Elementary has no Mycroft, Mrs. Hudson, or 221B Baker Street which are all large parts of the development of Sherlock Holmes.
Then again, anyone who considers Irene Adler being Sherlock’s reappearing dead ex-girlfriend and Moriarty as the major plot twist for the finale is a simpleton who has yet to discover the genius of Steven Moffat. Moffat can take a two year hiatus from a series and still have fans trying figure out how his Sherlock has survived public suicide.
Good luck CBS on trying to create a fandom that would thrive in between seasons. You’ve had 24 episodes to build a following that has some presence on Tumblr. However, BBC has managed to become a dominatrix to its fans making us beg for more just after a meager 6 plots and wait.
As the blog Sher says, “Sherlock has more letters than episodes.”
We are self-declared as “The Fans Who Waited.”
close you should get a runner up award a+
i’m sorry, but i completely lost my shit at “the genius of steven moffat”
What type of life does someone lead when Moffat’s writing can be described as “genius”? This girl needs some better, TV, stat!
That being said, that bingo card is bestest.

*narrowed eyes*
Yes, post that Amazing Atheist “refuting Anita” video to an inclusive fantasy community without comment and then claim you were waiting to see what we said before saying anything yourself. I totally believe you didn’t just post a piece of sexist shit and wanted to make sure everyone else agreed with you before you started being all like LOL THOSE FEMINAZIS.
Fuck. You. I’m so thinking about submitting your ass to seixstfacebook dudes, but there’s not enough hardcore proof you actual agreed with the video, just a very real gut feeling.

I have a new theory
David Wenham is the anti-Sean Bean.
Your dad sends you off in a hopeless battle against an overwhelming number of orcs?
Don’t die.
Hugh Jackman drags you along to fight vampires in Transylvania?
Don’t die.
Join a suicide mission to stop the Persian army for Sparta?
Don’t die.
I”m not sure that guy can be killed.

Oh my god if you’re going to judge someone’s cosplay you better learn your fucking shit because this is Duela Dent you goddamn assholes.
AHAHAHA
Perpetually laughing over the fact that “real gamer/comic book nerd” males keep insulting women for cosplaying things they’ve never even heard of
who’s the “fake geek” now, fuckers?
(a) Gorgeous work no matter who she’s playing.
(b) PWNED.
I think the one who made “trying too hard” into an art form was the one who slapped the label on the picture.
Girls can be geeky enough to know about shit that guys don’t know. IT HAPPENS. Wanna see it happen? Come to my comic book store on a Wednesday and watch Andy needle me about the X-Men. I will CHAPTER AND VERSE on mutants most people sensibly forgot fifteen years ago.
This is an awesome Duela! I WANT FOR ICON PURPOSES.
