--- Quote from: Jeff Wrangler on April 25, 2013, 10:24:38 am ---I was reminded last night of all the Sherlock Holmes incarnations. I was watching a show where a woman who was suspected of witchcraft demonstrated that things she knew about people that she could not possibly know came from her "powers" of observation: She could tell that someone worked at shearing sheep from the condition of his hands, and because "he reeks of mutton."  ;D  (She was also an accomplished herbalist.)

Wouldn't take a keen observer of anything.  People who are around livestock, reek of it.  No special powers of anything needed.  Just a decent working nose.

Well, then, I guess it's a good thing--or maybe not--that you weren't a consultant on the script.

I doubt they had one.  Or if they did, they ignored him/her for artistic purposes.  ;)

Here's a brief article and look at Benedict Cumberbatch's parents.  He has his dad's face and his mother's eyes and smirk.  :)

Haha, "mutant super-thespian" indeed!

I watched the Hound sequence last night, falling asleep several times and had nightmares about the hound! Oh, when will the new season be ready?

Scary!  :o

Hopefully the fall...but likely for us in the US, next spring.  >:(

But I'll get my Benedict fix next month when he comes out in Star Trek 2.
