Quiet, you.

I'm a severely lapse Catholic now-athiest, and I have no idea why anyone would have a problem with the rosary. It's just a meditative prayer set, and the physical rosary is just a set of blessed beads used to keep your place. And during the Holy Week, you pray for the stations of the cross to remember each agonizing…

Hahahahahaha! I unabashadly love this anecdote!
Red hair be of the devil!

Looks like it'll be another year of streaming from shady internet sources for me.

Ah, okay.
I hope she chose option two. Cutting ties would certainly send a clear message.

That part was priceless. I was waiting for him to say something like … "Arab? Maybe? Indian with a dot? …Brown?"

Why the fuck was she still friends with her then, Scruffy?
Sometimes I don't get people.

You lie. I've been there. It has all the pleasentries of Tennessee - pretty trees, pretty mountains, etc. - with just as many crazy people and no urban centers.
New Hampshire is New England's South.

All of you are making me glad I was born in the 80s and was barely consious of the Cold War. The media I've consumed from the 80s in particular makes it seem that everyone was sure nuclear war was more a when than an if. I am so, so glad I didn't have to grow up with that sort of terror.
I have all sorts of other…

Oh, good, I'm not the only one. T2 was a staple in my house growing up, and I always dreaded that scene, closing my eyes when Sarah Conner started pushing that swing (shudder).

Wha? I've watched the entirety of the show. And I have, indeed, read the story. I'm not claiming her as some sort of feminist icon. But the woman did win, and she was never enamoured with Holmes - she recognized Holmes in his disguise, did a turnabout and used his penchant for disguises against him, and ran off with…

Good jesus. Even in my worst college and bachelorette moments, such a thing wouldn't have crossed my lips.

A tragic thing indeed.

It's not that a woman gets to win. It's that, in the Victorian era, a crime-solving genius character that rarely lost a case got bested by a woman. And from what I understand from the books (which portray Holmes as practically asexual), he had very little regard for women in general. Adler was the only woman he ever…

*Well this is going to arouse the hell out of Scrawler.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one, Hairy.

Has he been a vampire and/or werewolf?
Also, one of my favorite adaptations had Watson as the actual smart guy, using Holmes as a cover so that he could publish without having people come to him with their problems.

It wasn't the sexiness of the character that I found unsavory. It was her drippy fascination with Sherlock. I mean, I am Sherlocked? That took an up until that moment very interesting take on Adler to a deep low for me. She absolutely lost because she had a hardon for Sherlock. And that, coupled with the ending, made…

To like something and to find something flawed is not mutually exclusive.
I thought the Falls episode was a lot of fun.

I forgive the Tom Hiddleston tumblrs, if only because he seems like a legitimately cheerful guy, if somewhat sexually androgenous. And his Loki was better than the Batch's Kahn.
Also, I liked his Hal in The Hollow Crown.
