This Right Here makes me just want to log off... I really have no clue what to do with myself when I encounter these people... Like I admit to being that way myself, but at least I am not so flat headed that I can't see past my own reflection in the window... JUST SAYIN'!
So I take it you are a CumberSmaug fan? I admit wanting to see the BBC Sherlock series... Is it on Netflix? Or do I need to get my peg-leg and eye patch for this one? How is it? on a scale of 5 stars? Is it like Dr Who? Because I just can't... last BBC series I watched and nerded over with the little brother was...
So that should give you a good idea... Is there humor? or is it all really intensely suspenseful?
I do say I love the guy ritchie film versions starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.
Hmm. I see your dilemma, and I wish I had some advice. The best I can think of is to be as non-prickly as possible so that they feel subconsciously obligated to treat you with due respect in kind. May be a bit manipulative in my thinking, but that's just the way strategy can sound, especially when attempting to be diplomatic and unoffensive. The only thing is that no one on this planet is truly a neutral observer; we just attempt to be for the sake of argument, but something always leaks through. You just gotta take it in stride and not bother calling people out on it because labels tend to make things a little more tense than they need to be. That's all I've got on that subject. haha
As for Sherlock, yes, it is on Netflix! You can watch both seasons, and series 3 comes out in January, so hooray! You're lucky you only have to wait weeks instead of years like the rest of the fandom. Well, my wait is/was months because I discovered it relatively recently, but the last time an episode aired was 2 freakin years ago. My God I love what you did there about paying an arm and a leg. That's so refreshing, someone with wit.
smile Anyway, I give it a 5/5 stars. I haven't seen Who, but Moffat writes for both, so that's for you to decide when you see it. And you should see it. It's fantastic. There is definitely humor, but augh! My god! The cinematography! The music! The acting! It's all so delicious, so well-done. You'll love it. You'll hate that you love it. lol If you enjoyed the films, you'll enjoy the show, I think, though the two Sherlocks are played very differently and presented differently as well. RDJ brings with him that Tony Stark playboy air, especially with Rachel McAdams as Irene and their complicated love thing. But BBC makes them more chaotic neutral rivals than love interests, though there are some nice touches in their dynamic that keep it interesting.
Just so you're prepared, though....Sherlock=2 seasons, 3 episodes per season, 1 hour 30 min per episode. They're each a little movie of their own, so make sure you've got a good chunk of time to kill before you sit down to watch, preferably no distractions so you can appreciate it. Get comfy. lol I was on Netflix looking for a new show to watch, and I saw Sherlock and was like, oh hey let's see what the hullabaloo is about with this show. I've seen lots of good things. -click- Start watching, kinda like okay, it's pretty good I guess. Benedict shows up, and I'm like HOLY MOTHER ******** I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO SOUND LIKE THAT. Because he looks so...I don't even know what to call it anymore. But I was expecting a little higher, less mature sound, not ******** Jeremy Irons in that unassuming-looking little s**t. lol
Sorry. So yah. I'm a fan. I saw the new Hobbit movie and bearing in mind that that was all Benedict with no enhancements, I was blown away. He's also the Necromancer, which I would have NO IDEA if I hadn't been informed.
