First up, go watch the new Doctor Who mini-episode. GO AND BE HAPPY.

I leave fandom for THREE DAYS and TV tropes removes fanfic recs from the site. D:
I use those recs! Not for Torchwood, although I think I buzzed the Torchwood page once and laughed at how half the recs were Sam. But for the fandoms I liked but wasn't really a part of (Animorphs, Digiomon, etc.) that I wanted to swing by ever once in a while for kicks. Sometimes I'm in the mood for some childhood crack, ok?
And TV tropes and I didn't always agree on the definition of good fic, but older fandoms aren't normally on AO3 and I am not digging through ff.net for a pick-me-up. NO.
NOT OK, TV TROPES. STOP LETTING GOOGLE SHOVE YOU AROUND.
(I would like it if the recs were archived somewhere. For posterity at least.)

Here are the reasons I'm going to be in favor of Elementary, even though the odds of me watching it are low. (I'm sorta meh on Sherlock Holmes these days, really.)
1 - I am HEAVILY in favor of recasting male character as women for remakes. I can think of one good example of that being done, and a dozen examples where it probably wasn't even considered. (I maintain that any of the main cast of the Start Trek XI could have been recast as a woman. Sure, internet, lambast me all you want.)
2. The symmetry of Johnny Lee Miller (who played opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Danny Bole's Frankenstein last year, in which they swapped the roles of Frankenstein and Frankenstein's Monster every other night) playing another modern Sherlock Holmes cracks me up. Also, I've seen Miller stark naked and one day I will stop giggling like a twelve-year-old when I type that, but it is not this day!
3. It's not just any woman playing Holmes, it is Lucy Liu. ♥ The only thing more awesome than recasting characters as women would be recasting them as POC.

The new Great Gatsby trailer is out. This is, in way, shape or form, my Great Gatsby. But it is quite clearly Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby, and I look forward to it.
