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." (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.
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?
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. http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/04/the-full-dynastic-heritage-of-benedict-cumberbatch/
According to this article, Cumberbatch is the family name, dropped by the father. It means "dweller in a valley with a stream"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Cumberbatch
I suppose I should have watched the last episode of the Office last night but I could only handle about two minutes of it and switched over to the season ender of Elementary instead. There were some very interesting plot twists (don't worry I won't reveal spoilers) but also some dull moments. I find myself getting irritated by Jonny Lee Miller's drone and Lucy Liu's deer-in-the-headlights stare. And those stiletto heels? Puleeze. Some gumshoe she is.
