The best part is that they've never even hinted at any kind of romantic connection. It's not like they had A Moment, or stare at each other while the other's not looking. It's seriously one of the most well-realized and nuanced male-female relationships ever put on TV and it's hilarious that the dude completely missed like the central thematic point of the entire show and thinks Sherlock just wants to sleep with her.

So DP is shipping shows he hasn't seen at this point. I know nothing was on last night but whoa.

Sherlock did say that Watson might be curious about him sexually since she slept with his brother.

All the other main cast are as platonic as it gets. Except Carter and Reese, but that was literally right before she died just to twist the knife

He's talking about the s3 kiss which was improv'd, not in the script and should not have made the final edit based on how everyone involved talked about it after it aired.

On the other hand, they made Moriarti female and had Sherlock sleep with her, which I guess was their way of getting their personal fanfiction urges out of the way. And they had Watson sleep with Mycroft.

I think I have found the creepiest sitcom ever. I know a lot of bad, one season shows but this somehow stayed off my radar. For extra creep and ick factor, the person who created this would eventually make Small Wonder.

Somehow Black Mirror was entirely off my radar until this afternoon, and I've just watched episodes 1-3. I'm not sure how to feel now. They were all beautiful and depressing and sad and wonderful all at once. I'm uncomfortable and I just want to watch more.

Update on the great X-Files Season 1 rewatch. Just finished Darkness Falls and Toombs. Where the hell can I find TV like this again? With this much atmosphere, subdued emotion, intelligent and driven characters. I hate to bring up Fringe again (which a show I really liked, but think fell apart as it went full bore mythology towards its latter seasons), but even at its height, second season or so, no individual episodes ever took the time to go this slow, really sinking into characterization and mood (like a mini movie, as I said before). Some of the imagery will (and has) haunted me for years. Again, I really do think that serialization and emphasis on zippy and comfortable character dynamics (one cooky nerd, two hot leads that inevitably hook up) in not only that show, but in most drama shows in the last few years, really kills that kind of focus on individual installments (something that X-Files also managed to fall into, ironically enough).

The first episode of Black Mirror was so bad, I've never gotten around to the others. Which is a shame, as I imagine I'd like the Bain/Armstrong one. Maybe I'll give a further attempt now the mere thought of Charlie Brooker's existence doesn't send me into a blind rage anymore.

You should probably keep watching, the second episode is probably one of the best. The first is a really weird thing that doesn't wholly fit in with the rest of the series as much at times. It's not the worst episode either.

IRQ posted:Excluding PoI. Yeah, that was incredibly cheap, bad storytelling that came out of nowhere and went against everything we'd seen from that character. It came in the programme's worst run of episodes and more than anything else makes me think PoI might turn to poo poo in the following seasons. Utterly unearned. Baffling that anyone thought it was appropriate.

I was trying to figure out if he meant Reese/Carter or Root/Shaw, and in either case, "worst run of episodes" is probably the last thing I've ever seen anyone use to describe either of those effective trilogies.

Uh....I don't even watch the show, but didn't someone just say that that kiss wasn't scripted but adlibbed, so calling it "incredibly cheap, bad storytelling that came out of nowhere" is kind of ridiculous.
