You're such a tease. Just write the fußball slash already!!!
You're not a bad person, but I had to laugh when I read what cat_irix said. Of course a woman who works primarily with computer code would think that Victorian-era literature was old and slow. I love the woman to death, but like every other type of engineer, she has a very different view of the world. I don't see it as old and slow, but perhaps that has something to do with having had Victorian-era-born grandparents, or having read too much Victorian literature. Or maybe I'm just showing my age. In any case, I definitely agree with you that there are many, many bad Holmes interpretations out there, and I'm very interested in this new one. I just loved the slash I read because it captured the tone of the original literature so perfectly, but people who don't like that tone probably wouldn't like it. To each his/her own! ;-)
Don't get me wrong. I love Hugh Laurie as house, just not the exotic disease premises. Of course you're right, it's not really fair to compare Lightman and House, they're each very different characters. The one thing that bothers me the most about House is the American accent. Laurie's accent is very good, but he's British. Why not let him have a British accent? Why does he have to be American? What purpose does it serve, if any? Why use a great talent like Hugh Laurie and force him to sound American? Oh, well, he's still very, very good in it, regardless of the accent.
The highlight of my evening was watching a documentary on IFC about sex in indies films with some interesting talking heads. OMFG, Peter Saarsgard talking talking about seeing "The Night Porter" in a special film class after Jesuit high school, finding the erotic necrophilia scenes in "Kissed" hot, and having his ass played with in "Center of The World". HE'S SUCH A FLIRT. GUUUUUUUHHHHHNNNNFFFFFF!!!!!
