and tits!!

Celebrate Ricky Sargulesh!

Ok I thing we're on the same page then! And we've seen all season Sherlock making an effort to be nicer to people (and Joan being credited for this). I went through a few in an earlier post only to have it up for moderation then disappear off the face of the earth! They virtually beat us over the head with it in the

I agree. I've love to reply, but my comments keep getting sent for moderation

I don't know. I've got them all on DVD

They brought out a new DVD set in 2011, so it's a lot cheaper now. I know it used to be crazy expensive before that. You can get it on Amazon UK for about 17 quid, which is what I did. Not sure about region 1 (I'm in region 4, not that it matters these days).

Kinda agree a little on Coupling. It was hilarious when I was 15. But watching it now I kinda hate most of the characters. My favourite character now is actually Oliver, who replaced Jeff in S4. Even with his stupid catchphrase. Typical Moffatt, great plot construction, sense of humour, shitty characters :)

Oh, and Kung Fu. God I love that show.

Maybe the reason it seems formulaic now is because it wrote the formula? I don't know. I see it as the Stairway to Heaven of Sitcoms: great, but not quite worth the reverence it has received. I mean it's tough to compare across eras and all, but Party Down has Fawlty Towers beaten on virtually all fronts I reckon.

Tonally it's a little weird but I don't mind that - it would be pretty dark otherwise (I think the pinnacle of tonally off that I've seen is Orange is the New Black, and that felt like a deliberate experiment). I especially love it for the way it goes out of its way to make all characters 3 dimensional, like David

Linehan was only season 1 I think (by far the best season, maybe one of the best 6 episode seasons of anything EVER)

Season 1 was great! Entertaining Father Stone, and The Passion of St Tibulus with Bishop Brennan,

A lot of British shows here. Some other suggestions from the UK (I'm basically using this as an excuse to list some of my other favourite shows and see if anyone takes the bait):

Neither did I. I just assumed. I mean it's Shakepeare. Everyone does Shakespeare :)

Absolutely. Every high school kid in the English-speaking world does Shakespeare. But to quote it in everyday conversation and make it sound good is more something associated with a Sir Humphrey Appleby or a Francis Urquhart type (public school, Oxbridge, RP accent etc.), even if we all do it from time to time

I also certainly think this was a stronger episode than the review indicated (I thought it was tonally consistent throughout, but not tonally inconsistent with the series as a whole. Considering that a major throughline this season has been about examining the differences between Sherlock and Joan, I thought the

Sydney here. It does still get pretty cold in winter (Not NY cold by any means), but most dwellings aren't really built to keep out the cold. Congratulations on the impending addition to your family.

That's not a knife. THIS is a knife….

I do remember the word rape specifically being used once, not sure where or by whom. At the time he baits Sherlock we absolutely can assume that's his M.O., but I didn't think it was too much of a stretch to find out later he didn't kill them after all (again, think Ariel Castro and the like). I understand where

she did have a certain understanding of what her sister may of gone through in the weeks before her death, but what if the truth was…..much much worse?
