"Watching it now, though, Tibbs’ initial silence makes a lot more sense.
If Philando Castile could be fatally shot in Minnesota in 2016 while
reaching for his license and registration, even after carefully
informing police that he had a firearm and was properly licensed to
carry it, then Virgil Tibbs could easily have…

I live in Canada, and I'm nervous too.

'She caught me with another woman! You're French; you'll understand!'

I still use Imperial to measure deaths; none of this metric stuff for me.

Almost every fall, the school in the small interior of British Columbia town I live in gets a warning that a bear has been spotted in the garden of a neighbouring house (they come down from the hills, attracted by fruit trees and garbage, because they're fattening up for winter). The school just keeps the kids in at…

Isn't 'Cyrillic' one of those prescription drugs that's cheaper in Canada than it is in the States? I'm pretty sure Cory Booker mentioned it specifically, just before he voted.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Thanks, @Electric Dragon; as someone who really enjoyed your Python annotations, this is high praise indeed! I had them very much in mind as I did my annotations for Sherlock.

Print journalism is not dead! As a journalist who has to write a weekly op-ed piece every week, I salute Damien Love for this inspired piece.

His umbrella/swordstick/pistol was awesome.

I hope you do; I'm watching Unfortunate Events as well, and look forward to your canonical comments!

Notes on ‘The Final Problem’; mostly canonical, but with a couple of Sherlock references as well. I almost certainly didn’t catch everything, so please add away if you noticed something I didn’t.

Do I have to use some nefarious means to see the BBC version?

Allison usually doesn't get the reviews up until 2 or 3 a.m. PST. Which is a shame, because I've got my canonical references list all ready to go.

I didn't realise Sherlock was on early until I got wondering how KCTS9 in Seattle was going to fit it and Victoria in on the same night, and looked at the schedule. Then I said to my husband 'Wonder how many people will tune in at 9 p.m. to see Sherlock and get an unpleasant surprise.'

Sounds like a fair deal to me!

Yes, I was reminded of the Saw movies, and I haven't even seen any of them; I just know of them.

I know what you mean.

Yes, I remember that thread, where various channels that started off with good intentions (combining intelligent, informative new programs about their signature topic, as well as good examples of it) were listed to show how far from their original remit they'd strayed. PBS, then as now, was held up as an example of a…

PBS: an oasis of calm in a sea of chaos.
