i've never seen lord of the rings but i think one of the video clips we use for testing our broadcast hardware at work is from it
i'm currently watching watson from bbc sherlock beat up a big spider
@monorail That'll be from a Hobbit. Or an episode of Sherlock I missed.
@Alexis @monorail honestly all you have to do is add "and Sherlock comes in, does that Mind Palace bullshit, then exposits a bunch of stuff as to what the crime was, who did it and how, with clues that were NEVER SHOWN AT ALL before hand in this episode, and then sits smugly solving the case and being shit to everyone else" and boom episode of Sherlock, no matter the context.
@monorail @Alexis I watched like the first season of it and was like "haha this is pretty neat I kinda like their take on it!" and... then it just... got worse. and worse.
and then I realised it had ALWAYS been that bad. after I read some of the original stories and I mean....
...friggin... Sherlock is still kinda a dick, but at least his deductions (technically actually INductive logic, not deductive? Apparently?) are set up well and shown to the readers, so they could conceivably work it out
@monorail @Alexis so you know, the original books are at least entertaining. the BBC Sherlock series is as if someone cosplaying as Sherlock Holmes wanted to prove that they were a genius of godlike proportions and wrote the episodes themselves with them as the author insert of sherlock
