The amount of these icons I have amuses me

[oxfordtweed]

I love them though.

I wish I could have more than 250 spaces. I've used them all up AGAIN. Fu.

Heeee. (I've seen Now Panic and Freak Out somewhere before, but I like the colours better on yours). I may have to steal some of your icons <3 (will credit of course).

Also - there's a problem with the running Sherlock theory! [whitetext for spoilets] He lifts his arms before he jumps, how can he have substituted a dead body? I haven't got the DVD yet, but is there a gap in the image where he can have been pulled in half way, like a bus going past or something?

[oxfordtweed]

Because he didn't. Not then, anyway. I've no doubt that Sherlock did actually hop off the roof, but keep in mind that we're seeing this entire show from John's point of view. John, who at that moment, had just been run over by a bicyclist and was undoubtedly concussed. We can't actually trust what was shown to us any farther than we can spit, frankly.

[wedic]

*nods* point. I'm just wondering how they're going to account for eyewitnesses other than John who realistically should have seen something. It's a busy area.

[oxfordtweed]

Oh, I don't even trust Jim to be dead for real, honestly.

[wedic]

Oh I'm sure Jim isn't dead. You said there were lots of ways you could fake bleeding.

[oxfordtweed]

Yeah, and they did Moriarty right, with lacing him in from the very beginning. That's awfully quick to kill him off all of a sudden.

That and Moffat doesn't like to kill his characters off. Case in point: Rory Williams and Jack Harkness. He even pulled a similar stunt in Jekyll.

[wedic]

And I don't believe Jim would, IC, admit defeat like that. I think he did it to try and make Sherlock jump.

Have you read Death Note btw? I think you'd enjoy it, it's the same sort of cat-and-cat game.

[oxfordtweed]

If that's what I think it is, I sort of despise that art style. I can't tell the characters apart.


But man, I will actually be disappointed if Andrew Scott's name doesn't show back up for next series.

It's manga - and as a face blind person, one of the ones I am able to follow. Although TBH you only need to be able to identify the main few characters to follow the plot.

If you meant the icon, that's Sims 3.

I don't like Moriarty but I love the way they bounce off each other. And the first twenty minutes of S2E1 were one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

[oxfordtweed]

No, I meant anime/manga. It just grinds me the wrong way because everyone looks the same.

I've gone and fallen in love with Jim this series, especially after Reichenbach. Good lord, he's amazing.

[wedic]

Lol, I can't distinguish between people easily IRL so I probably didn't notice it being any worse. I agree with some manga though - if the two lead characters have an almost identical name and/or look nearly identical I don't even start the series. I think you'd like the plot though.

[oxfordtweed]

I avoid most animated things/comics on principle, unless the art appeals. It doesn't matter how good the story is. If the art is fuck-ugly, I won't willingly suffer though it. *shrug*

[wedic]

*nods* I tend to get attracted by good artwork, but kept on by characters if the artist changes. E.g. X-men, runaways.

[oxfordtweed]

Man, when the guy who draws The Boys started mucking about with the style, I damn near stopped reading. I couldn't work out what the hell was going on. lol

[wedic]

Yeah I got cross when I couldn't tell Chase and Victor apart in Runaways. That series got put on hold though.

[oxfordtweed]

The general rule of thumb is that you can't tell the characters apart through silhouette alone, then you are suffering from poor character design.

[wedic]

Yeah. When I have faceblind moments, it's more like 'Oh, sorry, I didn't recognise you in that coat'. I'm actually much better at recognising fictional characters than real people because they tend to have a consistant feature.

For example, if Horatio Caine was to approach me in the street, I'd recognise him right away. If the actor who plays him was dressed as a completely different character, I wouldn't.
