All is well that ends in pizza.

Even though most of us over 30 didn't hear it, the Morse Code was there.

This "Making Light" thread on Sherlock spoils like a spoilery thing. Not the post itself, which is just a (quite funny) tease, but the comments. (With "Making Light", the rule is: DO read the comments.) However, one thing I can share is that even for TV, Sherlock is incestous. As in the actors, and producers and probably the film crew are personal friends of Moffat, or married to Moffat or related to Moffat's wife and so on. Also, Sherlock started out as fanfic written by Moffat and a friend which they then had the pull to actually turned into a TV series. If Moffat had had equal pull in the film industry it probably would have ended up as a movie rather than a TV series.

Seriously, if you don't mine about hard core spoiers, the comments are really good. And generally, if you read Making Light, the comments are often as good or better than the posts - a major exception to the usual rules on the internet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

by Moffat and a friend

I'm pretty sure Mark Gatiss should get equal blame/responsibility. It's as much his show as Moffat's.

Yup, and it says so in the thread. The blame for that omission is mine, not the commentators on Making Light. Really it is a great comment thread. If you have seen the current season of Sherlock already, or don't avoid spoilers, it is well worth reading. If you are avoiding spoilers, the post itself is good for a chuckle.

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

I have read the comments, and holy crap! Benedict Cumberbatch's mother was the Fendahl!

Is anyone still watching Castle? It just seems so formulaic these days.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am. And I would agree with you, it is formulaic lately, but within my personal tolerances.

I stopped watching it when the old captain went sort of bad and it became all about the mystery of Beckett's Mom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I bailed on Castle this season.

I'm still watching, but procedurals are my TV version of comfort food. I miss Alexis since she hasn't been around as much.
