Neither of them are remotely faithful to the source material.

But, like he said, this is not a remake of a British show. The producers of both shows have stated there is no connection or competition between the shows. It's like saying The Books of Magic is worse than Harry Potter. They may deal with very similar stories but are in no way related.

I also feel like people aren't taking into account the source material. In the literature, Irene Adler is in exactly 1 short story of the dozens and dozens of short stories and 4 full length novels. And from that story, A Scandal in Bohemia, onward, Holmes only refers to her as "the woman." Mrs. Hudson and Mary are…

This means something. This is important.

Helm's Deep? I think you mean Pelennor Fields, mayhaps? To be fair, the many endings issue happened because they stayed loyal to the book (and even then, some people complained about the scouring of the Shire being cut).

Just as a matter of historical accuracy... The Lord of the Rings (books) is not a trilogy at all. Tolkien wrote it as one story - one book. The publishers wailed that it was far too long to be printed as such, and so it was broken up into three volumes. So, NOT a trilogy, regardless of how it was published... simply…

Spot on. Liberal media outlets have done a great job of painting Tea Party sympathizers as mouth-breathing, evolution-denying idiots in order to discredit their smaller govt message, which really is the core of the entire thing.

Ahh, the good ole No Real Scotsman: "Well, sure you named a bunch of people, but they're not really Tea Party, or didn't really hold public office, or didn't actually represent minorities. So you didn't name anyone!"

And that same tea party ousted plenty of republicans and conservatives, more than democrats, and was formed at frustration across the board and not just toward President Obama.

So you ask for which politicians I could name. I name several, off the top of my head ,and you take the position of this little bundle of joy. Gotcha. Have a great day.

Its actually more like 310,000,000 sheep being eaten by two different species of wolves who use different tactics and hyperinflate (or outright manufacturer) threats to the sheep's well-being to exploit their ignorance. Smart wolves.

I don't want to nitpick, so I'll just say that your facts seem to be mixed with other stuff you've collected along the way. The Tea Party publishes their platform. For example, they mostly do not support current ag subsidies.

if you detect racism, why are so many of their preferred TEA Party leaders Black and Hispanic? It's about smaller less intrusive wasteful government and following the laws. If the laws are wrong, change them by following the rules.

Well, spending ourselves into oblivion isn't likely to work out all that well for the vast majority either.

More like: The way to make a good trilogy is to adapt a good trilogy (fairly) faithfully. It's easier when the original work was written as a cohesive whole which pretty much no movie trilogies are. They didn't think ahead with the Spider- Mans and Iron Mans, They did think ahead with Dark Knight but decided to tack…

Involve the ultraviolet vision and perhaps a more complex internal eyeball structure than humans do, with organic mirrors that can produce a telescopic effect in compact size, and Legolas could possibly focus on a narrow distant spot like, well, telescope.

I didn't shift your premise at all. I stated you are not judging "upside" and "downside" by any *rational* standard. And you just admitted that is the case - that the standard here does NOT "generally involve principles of logic".
