And Jude Law can be his assistant, Dr. War Machine Watson.  :bd:

That is actually a pretty cool name. I might use that sometime.
Insert witty comment here.

The BBC series was fun for a while, but it went off the rails badly, and the seeds for that can be clearly seen in the first season -- where no, I don't think Cumberbatch's portrayal was especially true to the character. Holmes might have been a little eccentric, but he was never a barely/high-functioning sociopath with more quirks than Mr. Quirky the quirky fox who had graduated with a masters of quirkiness from the national university of quirkiness. (And I'm citing showrunner Moffet there where he was self-critically poking fun at his own Doctor Who characterization.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

The last season of the BBC series with the forgotten sister was kind of stupid.  But leading up to that I enjoyed it.

Feature-length primal hallucinatory nightmar--uh, analysis of the series:



Highly entertaining, and even though I liked the first three seasons I can't argue with most of it.

Yeah, I also loved all of it, even the 19th Century interlude, until Psycho Sister happened. After that it seemed pretty hokey.

If someone wants to make a serious run at a Steampunk show, they should bring back Warehouse 12 and HG Wells.

Yes it was. Eureka was pretty good as well. Those were good times on cable TV. Don't forget SG1, SG:Atlantis, BSG, LEXX, Farscape, etc, etc...

I miss Scifi Fridays... I miss the Scifi Channel...  :(

LEXX was downright weird, in a good way. Farscape is a sci-fi classic. Would love to see a reunion.

LEXX seemed to be Warhammer40K as seen by a subdued Mel Brooks.

Farscape... I really need to treat myself to a run through of the entire series, followed up by Peacekeeper Wars.

I'm glad that Ben Browder and Claudia Black were able to get gigs on SG1 after Farscape wrapped up.

Eureka inhabited the same 'world' as Warehouse 13 and they had a few characters cross over

They changed the name b/c they cold copyright "SyFy" but they couldn't copyright "SciFi"

Whenever I'm scrolling thru the guide and I see "SYFYHD" I keep thinking it's some kind of Welsh language channel...

Plus the crap they show isn't really SciFi. It is, however, SyFy.

Killjoys is pretty solid.

I'm stacking up episodes of The Expanse to binge one weekend.

Dunno if you'd count The Magicians as "SciFi" but what other channel would you put that on?
