I decided to watch the first and third episodes of Sherlock with audio commentary the other day.  Both were quite interesting.  The first especially, because Moffat and Gatiss were the commentators.  The third was more entertaining than interesting, because the commentators were Freeman, Cumberbatch, and Gatiss.  It included silly things like an Alan Rickman impersonation, and a silly song about Martin Freeman, and me getting the distinct impression than Cumberbatch is probably an overbearing pain in the you-know-where most of the time.

However, there was one moment in which they were discussing Mycroft and his non-fatness, and who else they could have auditioned, and Cumberbatch said "Brian Blessed!" in the background.

And I laughed.

And that's when I realized that I watch too much British TV.

In futher nerd news.  It's nice to know that Fanny and Edmund stayed together:





And finally, William Pitt the younger (author of this beautiful letter:  Pitt's letter to Wilberforce after Wilberforce said he was going to leave politics. (WHY DON'T PEOPLE WRITE LETTERS LIKE THIS ANYMORE!?!?!?!?)  ) was my favorite character in Amazing Grace when I watched it a few years back.  The fact that he is played by Sherlock (who looks awesome when he's running, with or without a greatcoat) only makes him better.  :-P



I am now pretending that Pitt is not going to die halfway through the film.  WHY DOES HE HAVE TO DIE?!?!?!?!?

Okay, because that's what happened in real life, but still...It makes me cry.
