They are showing the adverts for the American Sherlock thingy here …

I am going to hate it, aren't I?

In other news, the lovely theodoraleft left many thanks for everyone who helped out with the Thanksgiving shopping last month. She also left the thanks last month, but I have been writing stories about bamboo and compost and god knows what else and burning my thumb and learning to play Cole Porter in E flat on the ukulele, not to mention very, very crap at doing anything in a timely fashion. Thanks, though! SHE was totally timely!

For anyone worried about December 21st, the world has not ended here in the future. It won't end over there in the past, either. Though if I have to go into the shopping centre opposite my work to buy salad for lunch and brave the bonkers crowds again tomorrow, it may end for one or two very specific people. I feel absolutely certain there must be a way to commit homicide by red pepper, if one is sufficiently motivated! Probably best to pack some extra porridge …

Keep out of the madding crowds, dear flist! If you haven't bought your gifts yet, tell everyone they were delayed in the post and buy them in the sales!

I wouldn't watch it if you paid me.

Let's get that chap that swaps with Cumberbatch, anyway, and make Watson female and Oriental and useless, because women are useless.

And American.

And I have no idea who the actress is, do that doesn't tempt me.

That's my fear about Watson! Although some flistees below suggest it's just the adverts and that she's actually ace.

I think I will give it a try, on the understanding that I expect it to be an American procedural with people named Holmes and Watson by their ACD-loving parents rather than actual Holmes and Watson. If Watson IS perfectly fine and not the patient-murdering simpering Holmes worshiper the ads make her out to be, then that may be fine. If not, I will probably bring my outrage to LJ ;-)

Lucy Liu is actually rather good, despite being in some very trashy films.
