When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Because books.

I was watching with half an eye, and I was so confused. I thought they were in NYC suddenly.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THE FBI LEAVE THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF A TERRORIST ATTACK UNGUARDED IN THE HOSPITAL?!?!?!?

I may need to break up with Blacklist over this. Srsly.

Break up or not, what happened after Lizzie shot the guy? (We went to breaking news.)

Just caught up on yesterday's Sherlock. For a guy that indulges in frequent sport-fucking, Sherlock is awfully judgmental about women with active sex lives. And yes I know Nigella turned out to be a thief, but he was using the word "Trollop" long before he knew that. (And if it was the fact that she was cheating on Mycroft, what does that make Sherlock?) And I can think of other cases where he snickered at women for showing "gusto", or in the case of Joan's friend (who he had sex with) "athleticism". Double standard much?

Yes, I know the character's viewpoint is not necessarily that of the writers, but I've never seen much in show to contradict this. Women in the show who have lots of sex with multiple partners are bad guys or prostitutes. The one exception may be Joan's friend, though I don't know how often she has one night stands. But she was still at least the subject of mockery.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Elementary.

He was born in the wrong century.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did Eads leave CSI? I was just watching Eve (she reminds me of the DOOL character) and Alaric and wondering how I'd missed the old guard sliding out. Blessedly, even Marja isn't in this ep much.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

He was in the previews for next week. I remember something from early fall about him not being around as much and allegations of a kerfuffle with management, but I don't think I ever got verified details.

Yeah. Ok. Elementary. Sherlock is the character name and the name of that other show that we may see more of eventually.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hmm. Elementary made me say "Mycroft WHAAAAAAAT???"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Just to go on the record. I can recall about three television or film events that just destroyed me. Left me an emotional wreck. There's the end of Buffy Season 2. Gandhi (specific scene: "I know a way out of Hell.") The Remains of the Day. (The book affected me the same way, despite already having seen the film, and not even noticing it was happening.)

I just finished watching the final episode of Broadchurch. That number's now four.
