Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

The trailer and press release for CBS's Elementary were released and the BBC fandom is losing their shit because they think it's a ripoff.

It does look pretty bad imo, but it's by no means a ripoff. It just sounds like CBS combines House and Bones and slapped the Sherlock Holmes name onto it.

Minus the good writing, enjoyable acting, and any soundtrack that stands out. I had a small glimmer of hope of there being something salvageable, buuuut it's CSI where I don't remember any actors, just some crimes.

I think it looks shit, the premise already sounded like it will be shit and I'm a little pissed because I sincerely doubt if shit flops that CBS will take away anything about people not liking shitty shows, and instead blame choosing a WOC as a lead.

I've got at least small hopes because of Lucy Liu. I would watch her in just about anything.

and slapped the Sherlock Holmes name onto it.

And that's the part of it that still bugs me, even as I acknowledge that I didn't hate what I saw in the preview.

I'm pretending to like it because I looooove watching the BBC fans throw their shits in the air.

It's great trolling material, A+ CBS!

It just looks like the same idea done shittier than someone else already did it rather than a direct ripoff.

I'll give it a shot and if I think it's boring, I'll ignore it but Christ, reactions like this are the reasons me and my BBC Sherlock-loving friends only poke our head into the fandom occasionally. And only for reasons of comedy. They're all batshit and it's hilarious.
