Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Actually, there was a pamphlet by John Knox that used that phrase first. Never read it, but have seen it referenced elsewhere.

That's where the Laurie King novel got it, yeah.

John Knox, yeah, that's the one. All I could remember was "anti-Catholic" and now I'm not even sure that's right.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Oh, I'm pretty sure he was ... anti-Catholic and a multitude of others.

On Elementary, I was disappointed when Luke Duke didn't turn out to be the killer (going by the "most famous guest star" theory). Though perhaps Tom Wopat wasn't the most famous guest star (unless you're a woman who grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard). (And, now that I think about it, Reed Diamond wasn't the killer in his episode, either.)

I absolutely loved when neuro-atypical Fiona told Sherlock "I don't know WHAT you are." I've always thought JLM plays Sherlock as neurodiverse in one way or another.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I didn't even realize it was Wopat until reading your post.

I recognized Wopat, and was with Steph, thinking that he would be the killer.

I did not recognize him. I looked up who he played and I still don't know, the character name did not register

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Wopat was the arms dealer playing tennis while they talked - but I only knew that because I read the board first and was looking for him. I think Elementary has done a great job with guest stars lately - Katherine Erbe, John Heard, Michael O'Keefe in for a single scene - and none of them were the killer (or at least not the one they were looking for)
