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

Ha! The most infamous L&O episode ending?

I still haven't managed to see that episode.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My version:

BRANCH
You're a decent attorney, but in this office, we need attorneys who have more than one facial expression.

SERENA
I was born without facial expressions. I shouldn't be punished for it.
(pause)
Does Jack feel as strongly about this as you do?

BRANCH
No. But it's my office and my decision. He might have fought more for you if he had slept with you, but you're a lesbian.

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

My nephew's high school graduation is being held in the Moriarty Arts and Humanities Building. I am amused.

You would think Moriarity would pay for a math building. Or an astrophysics building.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was just reading the tumblr of a woman (I think) who's chomping at the bit to get some Elementary, because she's totally enamoured of the concept.

Apparently she's getting anon shit for i, although she does state quite clearly that it's not CBS' responsibility to follow through on the Sherlock queer-bating or Moffat's NO HOMO style of writing, and ... those were the terms I was looking for to describe the coyness that I think Moffat relishes, while Gatiss seems more straightforward and respectful of his audience.

This distinction is based mainly on tweets and the odd interview I've read with each of them, so I don't know how solid a concept it is.

But she's articulating some stuff that was sticking in my craw.
