Proselytizing, sorta

[maybe_amanda101]

I'm really not about trying to convert anyone to anything.  Live and let live, says I.

But OMG, people!!  If you haven't seen Series One of Sherlock (yeah, yeah, 3 episodes does not a series make, I know, I know) do yourself three favours and watch it! And then come back and ask me how you can see the two new ones, and the one coming up on Sunday.

(Sidenote: Like his name, Cumberbatch's face grows on you.   And if you're a geek {you're reading this so, um, surrender any illusions to the contrary} you'll be seeing enough of it in the near future.  [And Christ, can the man act.]  And Martin Freeman makes any thing he's in better, and this is no exception. And he's a hobbit; well, THE Hobbit.   Also, Rupert Graves.  Yes, THAT Rupert Graves.  Him. In it. Yes.)

Okay, shutting up now.

I've been spoilered via Twitter over a character death, so I might wait to see if it's permanent before investing my time. Don't wanna get Kryceked.

I don't live anywhere that gets the BBC, so I can't watch the new episodes until May when it will be broadcast on PBS. I'm not anxious about it. Time goes fast when you get to be my age.

How's that sequel coming along? I like the story you wrote with onemillionnine better than the series, frankly. Much better. After watching the DVDs for Sherlock "Season One" a couple of times through, I've discovered I don't much care for the way its creators treat their female characters.

But I love the way you portray yours.

Oh ye of little faith. I'll PM you.

Tough slogging, but what isn't?

Wow. We don't want to have this discussion. Or, you don't want to have it with me. One of those.

Okay.

This. As much as I love Sherlock and John, the show could take time to treat it's girls better.

Sigh.

Which women?

Doesn't seem to come to BBC America until May. I've checked. Ah, well.

[maybe-amanda.livejournal.com]

PBS, and yes, if you want to wait you can.

Or email me and I'll tell you something - interesting :D
