Lucy Liu Is Watson and Sherlock Fans Are Freakin’ →
fempop:
In a blast of awesome news Lucy Liu was cast as Watson in the until now ill-advised reimagining of Sherlock Holmes set in modern New York.
Before she signed on it basically sounded like BBC’s ridiculously popular and homofabulous Sherlock? And also Fox’s once ridiculously popular and not nearly as homofabulous House M.D.
But now she’s there and people who were having feelings are...

Rick Santorum, Meet My Son →
jessicavalenti:
“I’m so grateful that Ronan is my child. I also wish he’d never been born; no person should suffer in this way—daily seizures, blindness, lack of movement, inability to swallow, a devastated brain—with no hope for a cure. Both of these statements are categorically true; neither one is mutually exclusive.”

Dear White people;
Ok, I get it. There’s some asshole white people doing asshole things to POC and people are angry at them for being assholes and your natural first reaction may be to make sure you’re not lumped in with them. So you say, “But not all white people are like that.” That’s not…

I have a quick question about Legion's loyalty...
The last time I played ME2 I decided to go run off and finish Legion’s loyalty mission before using the Omega 4 relay, but because I did that most of my crew had died before I got there. Do I just need to finish Legion’s loyalty mission afterwards? I don’t want him dying, though. If anyone can tell me how they handled Legion’s mission let me know!

fornax: re: female Watson casting →
fornax:
Just to make this clear because I’m already getting comments - I don’t disagree with the potential complications/implications of them casting a female if it’s primarily to make a Sherlock/Watson romance canon in the show (although tbh if it’s done right, I don’t think romance is at all an…
