The amount of these icons I have amuses me

[oxfordtweed]

I love them though.

*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.
