rewatching elementary now with the knowledge Jonny Lee Miller had started with his own sobriety and recovery whilst filming is honestly transcendent. He is so GOOD. he is gut-wrenching. The scene where Sherlock explains his sobriety feels like a leaking faucet that requires constant maintenance and offers only not to drip in return - jlm does this thing with his voice where he's on the verge of tears but bored all at once. He's wrecked by a feeling he's utterly sick to death of having. It's such a compassionate performance. On another level it is truly crazy to me that we have so many Sherlock Holmes adaptations so eager to make Sherlock an addict, but Elementary is far and away the only adaptation that does that and takes the addiction seriously. Perhaps in part because of JLM's real life recovery, but we'll never know. On a rewatch, it's a lot :')

Tbh? I don't like Paul. I don't want Paul. I understand that Paul serves an important narrative function and that Paul is the best possible ending for Camilla and Palamedes given their situation, personalities, and relationship. However what I really want is for Camilla and Palamedes to attend the ATN wedding as two individual humans and for Pal to be a lightweight who loses his tie in the garden fountain after three drinks and for Camilla to do exactly one shot with the group, keep Gideon from ripping the sleeves off her dress shirt, and absolutely kill it at lawn games during cocktail hour. Since this scenario is a wild tonal mismatch for the series and also Palamedes was already dead, this was unlikely to ever happen. However Paul is the final nail in the coffin for the theoretical existence of this scene and I can't help but resent them for that

#the locked tomb #the hardest i have ever cried at a book was during nona #and part of it was nona of course #but a larger part was the ending of cam and pal and the beginning of paul

It has long been a dream of mine to make a compilation of the hysterical stylings of Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes. History relates that the BBC actually received letters of complaint regarding this Laugh-with-a-capital-L, and such outbursts of amusement were tragically kept to a minimum after the first series.

The first short interview clip is from ep. 202 of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere podcast. The following, in airdate order, are from BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes (1989-98) dramatised mainly by Bert Coules, with the exception of the final clip from the last episode of the extracanonical Further Adventures, which aired in 2010.

I hit a pothole (a Michigan pothole so basically a sinkhole) today and my check engine light came on. I don’t have one of those computer plugins to reset the light and I knew it was just a sensor that got knocked so I was just like “well let’s see if this works” and on the way home I swerved and hit the pothole again and the check engine light turned off

Why we wear white on Yom Kippur (wrong answers only):

-As a fuck you to people who say you can't wear white after Labor Day

-Because it's the one day of the year we're not worried about getting food stains on our clothes

Do other USAmericans not know the names of the Great Lakes?? I grew up in the midwest so like. They’re important here but I never considered that other people might not give a fuck about these terrifying inland seas until I was reading a fic that said “the large Lake Michigan and another called Lake Erie” as if there are people who don’t know about Lake Michigan and Lake Erie.

Is that the case?? Are people outside of the midwest aware of these bodies of water outside of being just big lakes???

At Ebooks Direct...

The current sale has been extended to August 31st. Yay!

This is because the "Whole (Ebooks Direct) Store For $44" offer's being made available elsewhere online at the moment. But, frankly, if you feel like ducking in from the Tumblresque end of things to pick up the DRM-free 36-book package, the store won't try to talk you out of it. It's much too well-mannered for that. :)

So feel free to drop in and take advantage of us by grabbing the "Get The Whole Store Deal" bundle at a truly ridiculous price!*

(And would you perhaps consider reblogging this for others who might be interested? Thanks very much.) :)

*That's sort of $1.22 per book. (Or a really long repeating decimal version of $1.22, if you get out the calculator...)

#diane duane #highly recommend her books #the young wizards series got me through a lot of rough times
