It’s Hard to Be Speechless and Hysterical at the Same Time
These are apparently the official trailers for Sherlock on the South Korean TV channel OCN… Erm…?!

Christmas Link Dump
I have a Christmas tradition of my very own: Every Christmas Eve, at about 11pm, I get the idea that I should watch The League of Gentlemen’s Christmas Special. One hour later, completely sickened, afraid to turn off the lights, I realize I have ruined Christmas for myself yet again. I love these horrible bastards.
A few things:
- In 2008 I made a Christmas link dump of many Christmas specials I enjoy. If you’re not running around doing last minutey things, you could check them out. A Car Talk carol still makes me cry with laughter, the 1951 Christmas Carol is still one of the best movies ever made, and I still think you should watch Hogfather if you have no “Christmas spirit”.
- Tim Minchin’s White Wine in the Sun – Comedic, yet sentimental, Christmas song. Minchin speaks truths and plays piano.
- Holmes Decorates His Chemistry Set – Even Sherlock Holmes can enjoy Christmas. “Mrs. Hudson, don’t you dare take my aspidistra!” Uploader made an amusing Freudian typo in the opening.
- The BBC’s Doctor Who site has many Christmas goodies up, including some short stories. None of which I’ve managed to check out, because I’m too busy with this.
- “Merry Christmas Gabriel. I got you the truth.” – Is a line I hope to find a way to use at least once tomorrow. There’s also a seasonal PATV episode.
- And finally, if you have any last minute shopping to do, check out the Humble Bundle. A pay-what-you-want bundle of indie games to benefit the EFF and Child’s Play. If you pay more than $7.73 you also get some additional games, including one of my favorites, Aquaria.
Merry Christmas and other applicable winter holidays all! And don’t forget to leave beer for loli Santa.
A Study in Time
By di_br.
Startlingly, despite the width and breadth of both Holmes and Who non-canonical works, not one crossover seams to exist. An idea whose time has perhaps come?
BBC 2010 Sherlock vs. The Great Mouse Detective
If it came down to a fight, I think Basil would win. It’s a good thing they are on the same side.

And as a bonus, a Sherlock meme:
Hitler Finds Out 2009′s Sherlock Holmes Trailer Is Real
“It’s okay. He’ll realize RDJ is the bomb in December.”
Who knew Hitler was a Jeremy Brett fan? Ok, I lied. But this really is the last Holmes related thing for a while!

They Crazy Adventures of Wassup Holmes
I promise this is the last Sherlock Holmes vid for a while but this is just too good. Here’s the orignal by Famous Last Nerds.

(I’m aware I’m due for another nekkid female post, don’t worry.)
Happy Birthday Mr. Sherlock Holmes!
Video celebration by Harley Cooper. And if she didn’t include your favorite Jeremy Brett clip, she has another video here.
Interesting trivia: This is the second fanvid I’ve linked that is set to Britney Spears’ Circus. Huh.

I’m Very Intrigued By This Trailer
I don’t know if everyone’s already heard about this movie, but I was just informed of it by a mention in a Penny Arcade news post. Not going to try to guess if this movie will be good or bad but I’m really interested in a movie that seems to focus more on the tough, roguish side of Holmes. I think there is the potentially for this to be very entertaining!
