Legend of Korra 1.07: "The Aftermath"

I hope no one reads these expecting, like, coherent and thoughtful reviews. Because basically I just wordvomit everywhere and flail like Tenzin at a pro-bending match.

( 'I thought you were kind of ... spoilery.' )

I know Sherlock fandom is actually the worst, but...

...I would still take all the flailing about THE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURITY OF THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLMES CANOOOOOOOOOOOOON seriously if the people complaining about Elementary were equally concerned about the Japanese series where Holmes is a cat.

I was thinking about the way Sherlock fandom seems to have a serious problem with Asian people existing, and then the apparent occasional tendency of Korean TV executives to commission series by going, "That really successful western series? Let's remake it, but in the Joseon era! HIGH FIVE! Let's go to lunch!" (There's Joseon X-Files, of which the first episode was AMAZING and at some point the House o'Squid will WATCH THE REST, and then there's CSI Joseon, and in fairness, I don't think either of those are the official translations of the series titles, BUT STILL.)

I googled for "Joseon Sherlock", and did find a rather good-looking cable series about "Korea's Sherlock Holmes" (actually based on a real historical figure), and a 2011 movie. English subs for the cable series don't seem to exist, but I am partway through watching Detective K and the Secret of the Virtuous Widow, and it is pretty great. (It has a lot of the tone of the Ritchie Holmes movies, but more rural and ... you know, not actually based on Conan Doyle. Pros: slapstick, bromance, DOGGIES, a genuinely interesting mystery, an astonishingly beautiful woman in a partially transparent hanbok; cons: the female characters are pretty slight, the fansubs are a bit dodgy in places. But it had a limited release in the US, so there should be a proper DVD with proper subs to be had in exchange for money.)

In conclusion, there should be more shows about cats solving crime.
