    To paraphrase a friend of mine, Sherlock is some version of Sherlock Holmes in the current era. Elementary is a quality procedural with characters loosely inspired by Sherlock Holmes. They're both decent shows, but very different, and neither is Doyle's Holmes. And the original and all of its previous adaptations

    This drawing by Albert Robida, from the 1800s, demonstrates the reality nicely. Technology advances; human nature remains, dark side and all:

    Found a summary online. It seems Lois also experiences a lot of racism when she enters the 'hood as a White woman.

    It's been decades since I read that one, but Superman says what you've been saying, that he's an alien, his skin is harder than steel, race doesn't matter to him (of course, he doesn't want to marry any Lois at that point, but that's another matter). Lois points out that, those things aside, he's the "right" color to

    Weird. The same thing happens to me every time I see Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.

    Did "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" accompany the sighting?

    Did she fight on the side of the Russians or the Alliance?

    Dr. Evil— not the Austin Powers character, but the blue-skinned, pointy-eared, bug-eyed archenemy of 60s action figure Captain Action— was an alien from :"Alpha Centaura."

    I have no problem with identifying people who actually do these things, and Brutsch is a whiner for complaining. And of course, people who break the law, as happened in the Todd case, should be charged. But given that the RCMP have serious doubts about Anon's evidence at to the identity of Amanda Todd's stalker,

    A one-eyed fish with a sword? Arrr, that be some find.

    -He doesn't always travel in time, but when he does, he goes somewhere more interesting than the late twentieth century.

    Dang. "qualify."

    I don't know. As a human, however, I can say I am capable of feeling something very specific when, say, I do something I recognize was wrong or hurtful, even if no one else calls me on it. Your question indicates how difficult it is to understand and quantify human emotions, much less those of a cat or dog or raven or

    I don't know that they understand it's "wrong," or if they understand it makes you angry, and we're very influential in our pet's lives, so our anger is not a good thing. I like cats, but I suspect if my cat were judged by human terms it would either be a borderline sociopath of the charming variety or have some other

    But.... But... It's in black and white. And it would reach so many more people if Scout was a hot teen girl played by a twenty-five-year-old and Atticus blasted away that dog with an Uzi. And we should see the death of a certain character onscreen. And a pop music soundtrack played so loud it drowns out the dialogue

    They brought in Sheryl Lee, the actress who played (briefly) Laura Palmer, to play her cousin. Come to think of it, the Canadian show Madison did the same thing with a character who had died.

    "You see.... Agent Coulson had an identical cousin, who is also an agent...."

    Well, perhaps.

    I recall being in university and discussing the significance of things like Falwell being invited to say prayers at a Republican breakfast event, and Reagan wearing the "Faith Partners" pin. The Reagan administration may have been in favor of certain kinds of science, but there's no question, the religious right
