Banshee

Hello and

LOL Should we start a "how many shows on TV right now are a take on Sherlock" thread?

H?

Yeah, I know the feeling. We need to make "sorry, boss, I need to catch up with my TV shows" a reasonable reason to not go to work every so often...

Good Banshee! I'm giving you more potential viewing material! Well, if you like sarcastic characters in a suit that have a love for making everybody else in the room feel stupid, you might enjoy it

So, Undead Medic and I were watching "The Mentalist" last night, and we started discussing the similarities between the character of Patrick Jane and Sherlock, particulalry with Sherlock as played by Cumberbatch. Things like the fact that he arrives at a crime scene, takes one look at it and entirely debunks the theory of whoever has been there for a while, because he spots things that everybody misses and pieces them together. Or the fact that he is a consultant with the CBI, when Sherlock defines himself as a consulting detective. Or the fact that they are both really good at pretending and disguising. Or the fact that they can both manipulate people into doing what they need them to, with very little effort (at least Sherlock can get John and Molly to do what he needs them to...). They are both loners. So... Am I seeing Sherlock everywhere, or has anybody else noticed this?

"How the heck do you manage to write timew-wimey-ness, get it right and not get a massive headache?" Because every time I've done it, my head hurt. A lot.

Something tells me Moffat would manage to give you an answer while still telling you nothing

I think I've seen the odd episode, since some channel or another seem to have the show in constant repeat loop... But I haven't watched enough to get a feel for his version of Sherlock...

I have to say I agree with you. I design knitting patterns and it is often the same story: someone gets a copy and passes it around, and the designer gets nothing. Writers, designers, musicians, and everybody in a creative line of works put a lot of effort in their work, and should get their dues...

Wow Enjoy the reading

Hope you enjoy the forum!

One trick for you: cover it in plain paper. I usually do that for any books I'm reading outside the house, just grab one or two A4s and cover it, as one would to protect the book. My mother used to do it with wrapping paper as well. You don't even have to stick the paper to the book, just fold it around it. Works for me...

Some bloke with spiky hair who convinced me into starting this forum

I am accused of that same thing quite often

I can sooooooo see her and Sherlock making arrangements for that in front of John while John goes "Hellooooo? I'm here! You don't talk about me like that. Not while I'm in the room, anyway"....

Oh, do I have to choose? *sigh* In no particular order... John Hart (Torchwood) Spike (Buffy) Willow (Buffy) Ianto Jones (Torchwood) Rodney McKay (Stargate) Daniel Jackson (Stargate) Teal'c (Stargate) Duncan McLeod (Highlander) (I watched the series before the movies...) Spock (Star Trek) Data (Star Trek) Ezri Dax (Star Trek) About a gazillion more characters, and I have purposefully stayed away from Lost...
