Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

My maiden name is hugely common, and I still find it disturbing when I occasionally hear the full name used on TV.

My last name has suddenly become super-popular on TV the last few years, but though I've heard both my dad's and my brother's names (plus at least one uncle), mine still hasn't happened, at least not that I've heard (their first names are MUCH more common than mine). I don't think I'd care for it, at least not if it wasn't someone specifically named after me - that I might get a kick out of.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I knew Patel was a common Indian last name, but I had no context for the rarity of Sunil as a first name.

I just bought the same shirt that Sherlock is wearing!

Not the vest, though.

...And yet another mystery on Elementary ruined because hey it’s that guy.

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

All the more reason they should give me bigger parts, right? It's not for me, it's for ART.

Well, that wouldn’t help ME, would it? I would STILL guess who the killer is because I recognize the actor.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

But we would never suspect Trudy Booth of MURDER!

Well, not the first time, at least.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Now I want a plot where they show that Trudy has secretly stalking Sherlock for years.

Oooh, Watson could confront Trudy and threaten her!

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

The decoy That Guy is a good gambit. The decoy Trudy gambit deserves a try.

"What do you call this room, is this the box?" amused me.
