ALL Air-Date Announcements Pertain to Sherlock (and If They Don't, You'd Better Apologize)
Wank and write up taken from the little mousey over at wank_report.

Tumblr user and Teen Wolf fan Heyysourwolf posts the air date for TW's third season. Unsurprisingly, she tags the post #s3 spoilers and--follow me closely, here--#teen wolf.

Sherlock fen, for no discernable reason whatever, assume that the post is regarding the air date for S3 of their show. Because no other show on TV anywhere is entering its third season, apparently. Or something.

Once they figure out that the post was not, in fact, about the return of the BBC series, Sherlock fen lose their shit.

Completely.

Sherlock fandom wants an apology RIGHT NOW, Heyysourwolf. A FORMAL apology. And we're going to berate you with misogynistic slurs and rant about how this is all your fault and how egregious it is that you should make yourself out to be the injured party and, above all, how immature you are, until we get it.

After all: "SOME OF US ARE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE DO YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU POST? GOD I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED IN THE TITS."*

* Probability that that particular entry is just somebody awesome trolling the shit out of the other anons with sarcasm: moderately high

EDIT: Aja has written an article about the wank for The Daily Dot.

You know, I haven't watched Elementary. Every time I hear about Sherlock fans flipping out about it, it makes me want to go watch it. I'm not a fan of how USA feels like it needs to American-ize everything, but the hate against Joan makes me rage. I'm still waiting for a female Sherlock. Hell, I'm waiting for a female Sherlock/Watson go team go! Just think what Sherlockfen would do if that happened. It would be so beautiful...so, so beautiful...and we could set it somewhere completely different, on purpose, and they could run around busting criminals. Yes. Yes, so beautiful.

	I highly suggest Elementary. The cases are pretty meh and easy to figure out, and yes, it's a procedural with all that entails, but the relationship between Sherlock and Joan is PERFECTION. And they don't gloss over his addiction, which I was afraid of, plus: LUCY LIU. She's amazeballs. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I adore Elementary. In terms of formula it's a lot of like shows such as NCIS or Blue Bloods, which are technically procedurals but are actually about the characters. The cases aren't necessarily going to be shockingly twisty or amazing, but the relationships between the characters are FLAWLESS. Sherlock's relationships with Joan and Gregson (the Lestrade character), and the way his struggle with addiction shapes those relationships, are so impeccably handled. And like

girl_friday said, LUCY LIU. So awesome. Also Jonny Lee Miller impresses me more every week. His physicality as Holmes is really different from any other role I've seen him play, and it's fascinating to me. Plus it has some of the prettiest cinematography you'll see on a US network show.

Anyway, I definitely encourage you to give Elementary a try. Just go into it expecting "Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson solve crime in modern New York" rather than "the actual Sherlock Holmes stories take place in modern New York."
