I am thoroughly embarassed that it took my friend to point out that the show is blatantly riffing on Sherlock Holmes
Debetesse had to tell me. But I'm not English...
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Colin's on "break" right now, for values of break that equal not filming--he's still doing other stuff, including interviews and the like.

Well, the drug addiction. And general crankiness.

I'm in good company, I see. I never would have associated House/Wilson with Holmes/Watson.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I never made the Holmes/House connection, either. Doy.

I don't really watch House, but I'd like to believe that if they said that House lived at 221 Baker street, I might have noticed.

I don't think it was Baker St, just 221B was the apartment number. I noticed it then.
Lord, I just watched the Q&A with Colin (just watched--I have no audio). Devoid of information, but hysterical as hell.

I didn't get the House/Holmes thing either. It looks like we dense ones are in some good company, at least.
