it'll require constant gardening to deal with the fallout from this clustercuss

i'm 99% sure it's the same person making that complaint on different platforms. but even if it were more than one, how does that affect my stance that the show would be improved by having more writers who share the experience of so many of their characters? they wouldn't forget about sherlock. he'd still be the lead…

you're literally talking about one fan. the rest of us were thrilled, actually, and wished she got more of a chance to bring her background into show.

for me the distinction is in how they're used. a lot of sherlock's people are characters in their own right, who have plots that show how far he's come with human connections. joan's mostly show up for a scene or two just to prove that she has people in her life who aren't sherlock.

ok, but i was thinking more about making sure the characters of color they already have are given the same amount of depth and agency as the white characters. because as it stands, they haven't been.

quality aside, this has been elementary's timeslot for a year. sherlock is the interloper.

the show would be improved immeasurably if they changed the fact that they have 99% white male writers

Okay

ok

the nypd in this show is really crap at retrieving victims. early on in season one, they busted down the door to get a kidnapped girl while she was in reach of her armed kidnapper. luckily for them, he used his gun on himself rather than her.

i miss the ewok song ;_;

even then, i liked josh brolin playing tommy lee jones more than i liked tommy lee jones playing himself (or whatever).

she wasn't in the movie much, but she was decent. i'll forever wish they'd cast someone more muscular, but gal gadot is good at being a bamf.

the completely bonkers ET ride was one of my favorites partially because it didn't fit this mold

a truer description of denethor has never been uttered

yeah, i don't reeeally consider rich white people from manhattan new york natives. it's complicated.

buy her the book, then
1. detach the cover
2. set the innards on fire
3. re-attach the cover to the innards of a real book about climate change
4. profit!

idk but invoking the license that she claimed 4 years ago was still suspended definitely feels like a chekov's gun. maybe once shinwell's arc is resolved, she'll become a part-time GP (like bbc watson except with a work ethic).

i'm pretty sure she said directly in the season one ep with the angel of death where we met her former friend/colleague that her license was suspended and she chose not to renew it. "it's hard to be a surgeon when your hands shake every time you pick up a scalpel."

having heard about the ending, there's still quite a bit
