I was chatting with someone today (and have had a few queries from friends) and I said, I'm really into Benedict - as SHERLOCK - in that part, yes he's fab actor in anything, but it's this particular role and also with Martin as Watson, that whole thing. I haven't been excited about a TV SHOW of all things for YEARS, I stopped watching TV, because shows I loved (Twin Peaks, X Files) either were canceled or jumped the shark, I said, I will never be invested emotionally in a show ever again.

I am glad to be wrong, thank you Moffat and Gatiss and BBC.

But its a creative charge to be excited about this series (jump charging childhood love of SH, latent Anglophilia and my fave genre which is mystery and detection, much to the surprise of those who know me online)

And if not more than two seasons, that's fine, quality over quantity. I'm even kind of excited about The Hobbit if Martin is in it.

But no one can do what Gackt does, all that he is, seriously, he doesn't just push buttons, he wires new ones - consider that he's an artist from a culture not my own and I've had to learn another language and culture to begin understand him, he's not my first muse, but he's the last.

so eloquently stated, and so persuasive.

we dumped our tv years ago as well, considering it a brain-frying, coarsening and energy-sucking wasteland, but maybe i'll go find SH online, given this testimonial.

Well, I usually go at least three years on a fascination with something, till its exhausted, but gackt has gone over that by two, and he never sits still long enough without doing something. What is also funny, I like other musicians and groups, but I never follow them avidly, and I never join their fanclubs, go figure.

Yep, I can totally see that. He fascinates me like nobody else, too.
