I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

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

AND I'm on it sometimes. If you don't blink.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.
