Although it is kind of funny, since I've never realised it, but Beans mentioned how most of our conversations on Line start off with talks of work or dying

BBC!Sherlock is to be kind, bloody insane, especially towards Elementary with the casting and complaining how that's not how Sherlock is and what not. I will admit I was that way when word first came out about the show; but after watching it, I came to realize that Miller’s Sherlock brings a vulnerability to the characterization of Sherlock that I haven’t seen before. And after the season finale, I have to say that I prefer Elementary to BBC’s Sherlock. It’s got a lot to do with the characters (love Alfredo, Mrs. Hudson, and Bell) and the whole 22 episodes a season thing doesn’t hurt either! :)
I'm still laughing at people complaining that Johnny Lee Miller's accent wasn't British enough, when he was an English actor initially. I haven’t heard that! Too stupidly funny.
then again that movie and book was controversial period. It seems that author did things that he wasn't supposed to, but still published it and he put some misleading things in it also. I heard that too. And while I enjoyed the book, it led me to reading a memoir or two written by former Geishas as well as watching a couple of documentaries about its history and its current practices.
I must admit, at the risk of being hypocrite too as I was a bit sceptical of Elementary. That while I understood the idea of it and how they were going to do a remake and set in New York and what not.
But I was a fan of BBC!Sherlock and loved RDJ's Sherlock, so naturally I would some have biases and was questioning over the fact they made John Watson into a woman. However, after watching Elementary I'm glad they did because questions a lot of the sexism in Sherlock and unlike BBC!Watson, Joan takes a more active role and is seen as his equal.
Geisha has always been a tricky topic, I would think....
