RBA Starblade posted:"Best episode" seems like a low bar to clear from what I've seen of it The show was absolutely huge while it was on, even if in retrospect everyone agrees there was a point past which it went off the rails. Everyone posted:Well, sure. Holmes is arrogant in Elementary as well. The difference is that Elementary treated its characters as though they were real people with real lives and real emotions that matter within the world. Sherlock... kind of didn't most of the time. The closest Sherlock really got to genuine consequences was with the character of Janine. There's a nice moment where Sherlock seems to understand that this was a cool person who could have been a good friend and he doesn't get to have her in his life any more because of the lovely way that he treated her. They're TV shows about genius super-detectives, neither of them is exactly social realism. Elementary presumably follows the tropes of a TV procedural, where you put together a homely cast of characters over a lengthy run and then you can play them off against each other in entertaining ways, and six seasons in you can do an excellent episode where Quark and Odo have to climb a mountain together. Sherlock is structured like a series of films and has to be much more efficient with how it introduces and moves around characters. There's almost as much screen time in the first season of Elementary as there is in Sherlock's entire run. Violator posted:I gotta say I’m super impressed by how in-depth you all know about these Sherlock shows. Any thoughts on the RDJ movies? Don't mind them, I'd watch another if it gets made. I was pleasantly surprised with Enola Holmes on Netflix recently as well.

So I'll admit I will never like WandaVision But that's because I realized *exactly* what to compare it to right away And it could never, ever live up to that comparison. It dwarfs it so much that it's not even fair but I'm a mean person

It's A Good Life Its like, episode 2/3 had some nice little moments- 2 had some of the creepier ones But it never went full on with any of it. Ever. And when I put together what it was reminding me of, I just got really sad because its so obvious

Not the most interesting Sherlock Holmes I've seen and not the most interesting RDJ performance (that probably goes to Kirk Lazarus from Tropic Thunder). Speaking of different takes on Sherlock Holmes. Here's The Blue Carbuncle featuring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes. Everyone fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Feb 10, 2021 |

I had a great gag where Odo got all excited and invites everyone to watch him poo poo himself into the bucket.

Good for her. Hopefully this quiets some of the, “But why have none of the people who have worked with Whedon spoken out against him?” takes. Just kidding, of course it won’t.

I agree and thought about adding it in that post but God drat I feel like a loving goober having to treat Twitter likes as an actual statement from someone. It’s not wrong but I still find even the concept of Twitter fundamentally absurd despite it being the President’s main method of communication for four years.

Her remember when the Buffy comic books were hailed as a continuation of the plot and Dawn was cursed to be a Giant/Centaur/whatever because she banged some rando and cheated on her demon boyfriend? And how she ends up with Xander... Cool stuff, normal stuff
