lol good luck with that. moffat and gatiss think johnlock is the funniest joke ever and will "no homo" it in the show until the end of time.

god moffat is frustrating. he's like fucking Jekyll and Hyde. that's what makes him so frustrating. he writes all kinds of awesome smart stuff and then the moon comes out and all of a sudden he's doing something stupid and regressive and awful. okay that's a werewolf and not Jekyll and Hyde but you get the point.

Don't put it all on Moffat. Mark Gatiss is his partner in crime. Why he gets off scot free, I don't know.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-07 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Gattiss is annoying but he's not frustrating in this specific way because he's not nearly as good or interesting as the Moff when he's on. gattiss you can just dismiss as kind of a mediocre writer who does stupid shit. it's a different dynamic.

No, he can be a good writer, just more so in other things.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What's he done that's good then?

Actually hang on I forgot he was in League of Gentlemen. Okay maybe this is a problem specific to dramatic contexts for him? IDK

(Anonymous) 2015-02-07 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but whatever you think of Gatiss as a writer, he's also co-captain of the Good Ship Sherlock. So he's half responsible for the nature of John and Sherlock's relationship.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
again, I'm not trying to say that Moffat is bad because Sherlock

I'm saying that Moffat is frustrating because Moffat is really fucking fantastic sometimes and then sometimes really fucking bad

I agree that Gattiss is responsible for the good ship sherlock but when he's bad I'm just like "Whatever" because he's not someone whose writing i would be enthused with to start with. if he fucks up, i have no reaction, unlike with Moffat. except that gattiss was in League of Gentlemen I guess but that seems like a really different thing conceptually.

I enjoyed the three part Christmas ghost story he did in 2008- "The Crooked House", and his adaptation of M.R. James' The Tractate Middoth in 2013.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-07 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! I should check that out then, I love MR James.

or maybe I shouldn't, for the same reason. A quandary.

Well, "you don't know until you try" is my philosophy.

DA

Well, James' original story is public domain here, so thanks for the indirect recommendation!

A pleasure. All James' other ghost stories are well worth checking out as well. A real whiff of 19th century academe.

He comented on cinematography aka visuals in Sherlock, so he worked on that. I haven't read his books... He's an awesome actor. And he's nice to fans.

IDK, the Lucifer Box book series was fun. Pretty cheesy and intentionally cliche, but not incoherent or badly written. I liked it.
