Away With Sherlock On The TARDIS- Will Return By Dinner

Hello, friends. Enough of my lovesick moping! I have met my Valentine. He is this guy:

This is Sherlock Holmes.

I like to call him Sherly.

He is the star of my new favorite TV show, Sherlock, on lovely the BBC. It's shows like this that TV needs! They really make you appreciate the Brits and their humor... or, humour, I suppose. :)

In this interpretation, Sherlock Holmes lives in a modern flat in London at 221-B Baker Street, plays the violin, stores various human body parts in his fridge, and works as a consultant for Scotland Yard, where he terrorizes the Inspector and texts with other peoples' phones. His home-boy John Watson is a doctor and war vet, who just got back from Afghanistan, and consents to be Sherlock's flat mate after one meeting. Moriarty doubles as Mycroft, making things very interesting- Sherlock is related to his archenemy. Holmes regularly frustrates Watson, but every time he explains his deductions, Watson says, "Brilliant!" as if it wasn't obvious to the rest of us, and Holmes says, "You know you do that out loud, don't you?"

It's everything I love- British, crime, and based on a book. If I ever met the method to this madness, I would hug him.

The second reason that I love the BBC is the Doctor.

The Doctor?

Yes, the Doctor.

What do you mean, the Doctor?

Just the Doctor.

Doctor Who?

Exactly!

I love it. I decided from the get-go that watching the new season would be cheating, because I wouldn't have a clue what was going on, so I go on Netflix and watch a few episodes whenever I get a chance. I am hooked! To any official fans, I know I'm behind, but I'm catching up!

For anyone who isn't familiar with Dr. Who, check this out:


This is the TARDIS. That stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Basically, it's a time machine/space ship. Why don't we learn to drive these things instead of making us learn to drive stupid cars??? You can't do anything with a car except go forward and backward and get into wrecks! With the TARDIS, you can go ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!! As in any place, any planet, any time, whenever you want! And you generally get to have some kind of awesome adventure whenever you go, in period dress. So, personally, I would be much more enthusiastic about driving if it was driving that thing.

So, yeah.

I think all I've managed to prove is that I have no life and like BBC shows better than USA channel. Oh, well. Toodles.
