One holiday season many years ago I worked at Barnes & Noble, happily ringing up book sales and spreading goodwill towards men. As part of our bookseller orientation we were to find our favorite book in the store and then sell it to the other trainees i.e. why this is a great book everyone should read. I grabbed a big ass hardcover version of " ( Read more... )

New Yorker here! I AGREE 100% with this awesome fangirl article. Seriously, reading it put a smile on my face as I nodded along happily. (The laughter came from your description the empty house, because that's TOTALLY what it is.) Afghanistan, haha ( ... )

Another east coast Sherlockian here, who may possibly have livestreamed the show, because after seeing the trailers, was in danger of having an apoplectic fit if I had to wait until October. Funny thing is, I am *still* on pins and needles waiting for it to come on TV here ( ... )

You just took ALL of the words right out of my mouth. Here I was thinking EVERYONE loved 09!version. Apparently I'm wrong :D

So American viewers are supposed to come out of the woodwork and post here? I live in Philly, and I've loved the originals since I was eight. I enjoyed the movie in a "shut off your brain because this is a popcorn flick" sort of way, but I am so in love with the BBC version! Everything seems perfect, exactly the way I would imagine them acting in the present! There are so many little cannon references, but I loved the way they used the phone and the scratches from the charger in the first episode the most. That just made me a very happy dork! I've really been pushing the show on my friends, they are going to be totally sick of my gushing by the time we finally get to October 28th.

What's up Philly?! Yes, I'm trying hard to rein in my fangirl pushing until it's closer to the actual airdate and THEN go nuts.
