I want to clear out the linkdump before I head off to ChicagoTARDIS.

The one non-Sherlock link: an absolutely hilarious take Oswin Oswald and that infamous Katy Manning nudie shot with the dalek casing.

The title pretty much says it all. I've now see Elementary and with the exception of a single episode, I'm not impressed: Why 'Elementary' Fails Sherlock Holmes Fandom | Inside Blip

But in depriving Joan of Watson's military background, the show has undermined the sort of grace-under-fire composure needed to deal with a personality like Sherlock Holmes. The characterization compounds this lack by presenting a doctor who has essentially lost her nerve for practicing medicine following a patient's death.

POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT! Someone found all three of the keywords for Sherlock S3 on the same page in one story. (It's been on the fannish shortlist of potentials for Sherlock to remake, too.)

Nice psychological theory on the grave scene in FALL:
http://bennyslegs.tumblr.com/post/35652425184/at-sherlocks-grave-before-finally-walking
“John’s quick-turn is how a lower ranking officer would leave the presence of a higher one after being dismissed. The whole time, consciously or unconsciously, John has viewed Sherlock as his superior officer, someone he needs to trust and take orders from in order to make their friendship/crime solving work.”

The one Sherlock fic. I can't say I liked this bit of Godlock Johnlock as much as it earwormed me. What is the literary equivalent of earworming, eyeworming? Ew, that sounds disgusting. Anyway, it haunted me enough to dig it back up for a reread, so I'm passing it on: He Could Only Guess at the Sounds From the Old Books. John/Sherlock, NC-17.

I sent Peter the list of Top 10 suggestive lines from the Canon, which he has probably already seen. He likes to tell the story of a prominent Sherlockian examining the Canon with his new young stepdaughters in mind and discovering that it was far, far too impure for them... though I think whoever listed "I found myself in Florence" has a seriously filthy mind, long may it wave.

Glad to hear that Brad in Peoria is still waving it too, though he's a fairly pure-minded boy unless he gets some encouragement.

I tried watching the second RDJ Holmes movie yesterday (as I still hadn't seen it). I gave up after less than an hour. Not sure I'm in the right frame of mind for it at the moment.

"But in depriving Joan of Watson's military background, the show has undermined the sort of grace-under-fire composure needed to deal with a personality like Sherlock Holmes."

Eh. With a line like that, I wonder what show the author is watching. With a lack of military background, she may not have one part of a past on her resume that may or may not give a person grace-under-fire composure, but Joan Watson as shown, onscreen, several times an episode, is almost unrufflable in the face of Sherlock's antics. She is, in my estimation, a lot more cool and composed than, for example, Freeman's Watson, in terms of onscreen character actions.
