Sherlock "His Last Vow"

Yup...borrowed the DVD for season 3 from a friend...finished watching it Friday night...and rarely have I seen a television episode with more twists and turns! I am pretty sure there are still parts of my mind strewn about my apartment, after my head exploded at the end of the episode! No spoilers...but will tell you to GO WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star Wars generation gap

Yes...I admit it. I am an old-school, non-Special Edition, original trilogy, Han-shot-first Star Wars NUT! I believe the best thing about the prequel trilogy was an under-utilized Sith lord with a double-bladed lightsaber. I believe Jar Jar Binks was the beginning of the end of Star Wars coolness...and herein lies the problem.
I also have a 9 year-old son who LOVES Star Wars.I also have a 15 year-old son who shares my view and a 7 year-old daughter who called Star Wars "stupid." (Try to raise a kid right...) My 9 year-old sees Jar Jar as much of a part of the Star Wars universe as Han Solo. He sees that whiny Anakin Skywalker of the prequels is without a doubt the Darth Vader I grew up with.
The only thing I can figure is the younger son was about 9 months old when Revenge of the Sith was released. For all of his life, the prequels that I can watch only while taking shots of Pepto Bismol are as much Star Wars as the original  trilogy is.
All I can figure is it must be a generational thing.

Sherlocked

What do you get when you take one of the most famous characters in literature and film, and then update him to 21-st Century London? You get Sherlock. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, Sherlock takes original Arthur Conan Doyle mysteries and takes them from Victorian London and puts them in modern times.
As a rule, I don't like telling people about given episodes, but I do like having people find out if a series or movie is for them. I highly recommend going onto Netflix (aka "crack for geeks), and watching just the first episode. I'm fairly sure you'll be hooked.
