preferably at least semi-legally, and preferably not cut up into ‘episode 1, part 4’. I streamed one episode and was entertained and so I would like more please, so that I can put it on my iPod and listen to it at the gym and get weird looks when I suddenly start laughing at something only I can hear. yup.
SOME SAY…
that his heart ticks like a watch, and that he’s confused by stairs…
his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees…
his skin has the texture of a dolphin’s, and that wherever you are in the world if you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts…
that he has no understanding of clouds, and that his earwax tastes like Turkish Delight…
all we know is, he’s called THE STIG.
reason 92875 to love Sherlock: they incorporate details, quotes, and references from the stories. and it all works.
Andrew Scott’s Moriarty was so excellent, I half believed that he would, in fact, skin someone and make them into fashionable footwear.
what does it say about me that I have more than one item tagged FUCK YOU ANDERSON?
another one! these are fun.
seriously though, suggestions?
just because this whole scene is hilarious. every single time. death frisbee.
I really like doing these simple image/typography quotes. but I’m really bad at choosing which quotes… if you have an idea or something you’d like to see, let me know via ask!
When news broke that CBS had approved a pilot for a modern-day reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes story called Elementary, it seemed like just another part of the Holmes resurgence—falling in line with the successful film series starring Robert Downey Jr. and the BBC’s hit series Sherlock. But it could have some slightly more nefarious origins, at least according to a producer from the BBC series.
Sherlock executive producer Sue Vertue told The Independent that her team was actually approached by CBS to create a licensed U.S. version of Sherlock a while back, but they turned the U.S. network down. Not soon after, CBS announced Elementary was in development.
According to Vertue, the timing seems like more than just a coincidence.
“We understand that CBS are doing their own version of an updated Sherlock Holmes,” she said. “It’s interesting, as they approached us a while back about remaking our show. At the time, they made great assurances about their integrity, so we have to assume that their modernised Sherlock Holmes doesn’t resemble ours in any way, as that would be extremely worrying.”
If there is too much of a resemblance, Vertue noted every recourse could be taken—and hinted that could even mean a potential lawsuit against CBS.
“We are very proud of our show, and like any proud parent will protect the interest and wellbeing of our offspring,” she said.
tl;dr: CBS: we’re making a sherlock! BBC: DON’T TOUCH MY BABIES.
LOL I AM ENTERTAINED.
SO MUCH FACES I CAN’T HANDLE IT.
Soooo. Hamlet. David Tennant. Kind of excellent. I wasn’t totally sold on Ophelia, then she went nuts and it was like woah. The dialogue was hard to follow at points but hey, its Shakespeare. Plus, the set was absolutely gorgeous.
