the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm obviously going to have to give Elementary another try.

The beginning of S1 is kind of bland procedural-ish, and it's weird to see Sherlock Holmes transplanted to NYC, but after about 4 or 5 episodes, it really picks up. And what they did with Moriarty was sheer fucking genius.

I'm worried about Moriarty after what the BBC did.

No, Elementary's Moriarty is a glorious thing. I promise. (Because I utterly loathe BBC's Moriarty. LOATHE.)

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.

I second Steph's thoughts about the contrasting Moriarties. BBC Moriarty = creeptastic and gross. CBS Moriarty = Brilliant and genuinely novel.

Bah, Netflix won't stream Elementary, and I'm not going to pay even more to get 2 DVDs a month.

I've been thinking of dropping Netflix, there's not a lot on there I watch. I shall investigate Hulu.

Elementary!Sherlock mentions that yes, indeed he did think the sun revolved around the earth... when he was a boy.

Whereas most Sherlocks believe that everything revolves around him.
