[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's the brain. And maybe the emotional unavailability.

I maybe have some issues with my choices in men.

I can so relate to this.

I find him attractive sometimes. Certainly as Sherlock, but sometimes he just looks a little odd.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The time I found Cumberbatch most attractive was in the recent Star Trek film. But he was also at his least interesting.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I loved him best when he was photo-bombing U2 at the Oscars.

Thrive to spite them

I caught the part of an episode of Parade's End, it was the second to last episode so I had no idea what was going on except Cumberbatch's character is an officer who has to repress his emotions and it's set during WWI and his wife is unfaithful (maybe) and there's scandal? Oh and his horse is really important. Or someone's horse, or maybe he's life is so out of control he's going to do something for the horse damnit!

Anyway his character's hair is blonde os I guess it's closer to his natural color, which is very anti Sherlock and the repressed part is very anti Sherlock,. His character isn't exactly sexy, but intriguing.

And I've read that either Gatniss or Moffatt has said that a lot of Watson's lines get cut because Martin Freeman will say (or has said) "I can do that with a look" so they just let him. ANd then he does. And Cumberbatch must be taking note because there are a lot of looks that say way more than what his character can actually express.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I feel this. HARD. Though I don't really find Sherlock attractive per se. Maybe a little. t thinks about Jonny Lee Miller's iteration of Sherlock Damn it.

I was amazed at how completely unattractive he was in August Osage County.

What did you think of that movie? I meant to see it, because the previews made it look, essentially, like Hello Steph Here Is Your Family On The Screen Embrace The Dysfunction. (And I, of course, eat that shit up. I love seeing other dysfunctional families, even if they're fictional.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Vortex made me laugh.

I love BC's Sherlock, but that's as much about loving Freeman's Watson and the way they play off each other.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And I've read that either Gatniss or Moffatt has said that a lot of Watson's lines get cut because Martin Freeman will say (or has said) "I can do that with a look" so they just let him.

William Hartnell used to say that all the time when he was playing Doctor Who. Of course, in his case it was because he kept forgetting the lines.

Oh yes, Freeman was the real revelation of Sherlock. I always kind of liked him before, but he is doing great work. So detailed and pretty subtle stuff.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm just down the 405....

It's the hair.
It's the brain. And maybe the emotional unavailability.

I can see where it could get confusing there omnis, but not so much the emotionally unavailable part. Must be another BC.

Ugh, Hil, those are not good choices.
