Anyway, she says: Honestly, I only read half of this because I got bored midway. But I'm sure she makes an excellent point.
Hahahahahaha! I think I love your wife. I rep'd your post but the rep is really for her. Has she ever read/watched The Seven-Per-Cent Solution?
What does she think of the American knockoff? The one with Lucy Lu and that other guy playing Sherlock? I actually really enjoy English television. The humor is dry, which I find to be very entertaining. I also spend a lot of time watching MotoGP, which uses English announcers. So much more fun to listen to than the American announcers on the Speed channel.
I'm a bit torn on that, because of the rather dubious circumstances surrounding its conception. On one hand I see Moffat and Vertue's tight-lipped annoyance (CBS approached them and assured them they wouldn't go ahead with the project without their blessing, I guess, then promptly did it anyway) - on the other, I hear Cumberbatch anxiously trying to get fans to show support to Jonny Lee Miller who is a personal friend. I don't know, I might watch someday but I can't get too enthused at the moment. I've heard it's good and I'm sure it's a really interesting take. I guess I'm cynical about it right now because I know Sherlock was created because the two main writers had always wanted to create a show about their favourite character, whereas Elementary was conceived because they saw Sherlock and recognised that it was a successful formula. Something a bit clinical about the whole thing.
Ta. I feel a bit guilty that I haven't. Mark Gatiss often mentions it. Is that the Robert Stephens one?
