End of the day, I am not surprised. I am not surprised that those who want to sell an aberrant ideology pretend to be using shock appeal to sell something more shallow or innocuous. Saying "we just made it look dangerous to sell books" is as much as admitting that you think it isn't dangerous.

I thought you right-wingers were all about "personal responsibility". Funny how, when it comes to your fascist posterchild, he's everyone's fault but yours.

Nope, not really.

Shut up Nazi shitfuck =D

Other comedians have said that they're annoyed when people say the Trump's presidency will make their jobs easier. Because a) their job is to comment on stuff, not just to say that it happened; and b) they still have to actually live in the country.

I can't be the only one thinking that it sounds a little bit… um… porny?

Oh cmon, you're calling a guy who brings his own studio audience "unprofessional" now?

"just imagine the tables were turned and Hillary would have won, it would have looked exactly the same only reversed."

Weird tangent but: I remember when Lexx started, the writers put out a kind of manifesto of how they were going to run the show (and mainly how it would be different from Star Trek), and one of the items was (roughly)

"Maybe she is to appease the SJWs"

A better final episode exists here…

You don't really know what sound mixing is until you hear it done badly. If you want to know, watch the Felix the Cat movie.

I can't agree. I think this episode fares better because Sherlock viewers have got used to tuning out the stylised bullshit while they wait for stuff that matters to actually happen. Transplant it into any other show and its lack of grounding in reality would kill it before it even got moving - if the tranquilliser…

It's kind of in Christmas Special Limbo. They did a fifth season, and it was crap for all the same reasons that Sherlock is crap - i.e. not being anything like Jonathan Creek anymore. But the special they did this year was an improvement, if not actually good. It never really recovered from Caroline Quentin leaving…

So actually, Mycroft trying to get Holmes to shoot him by being a terrible prick was a metaphor for the episode as a whole, and thus it actually IS super-clever and smart and we just don't get it so nyer.

Yes, it happened, and no, anyone trying to excuse it with "but they said she's a sorcerer" is talking shit. She doesn't say anything at all to him when he first enters the room and we've seen him do his super-fast deducto-vision in less time than that. Not that you'd need it as I'm pretty sure any human could do…

"where they had her prove she was just as smart as Sherlock by getting outsmarted by him a zillion times."

I didn't not enjoy it, but then, I don't not enjoy a lot of terrible pieces of shit.

What I don't understand is, once they established that they had this ability (which would have been pretty much immediately), why would they do nothing about it? It's hardly beyond the wit of man to deprive someone from access to human contact if they're that dangerous.

Between this and what he's been doing to Doctor Who on and off lately, I get the impression that Moffat thinks people tune in to his shows to see his writing, rather than because they actually like them.
