Well, this holiday weekend was spent watching Sherlock.
I say “we.” I started watching it on my own. I noticed Stephen Moffits name and thought, “oh that’s the Dr. Who guy.” After the first five minutes I called Gary in for a Dr. Who fix, because the closest he’ll get for a while is Benedict Cumberbatch auditioning for his role as the next Doctor.
And I really enjoyed it, though the sexiest part of Benedict Cumberbatch is his name, if you ask me.

Tami – he looks like a gnome. I see why he was cast as the hobbit.
