and my U.S. History teacher was trying to get us to understand why it was such a big deal that England had put a tax on colonial sugar, and he goes,
“What if you had to pay a tax every time you logged onto wifi?”
And the whole class just went
and I heard at least two people whisper “I would murder someone”
the trailer: a transcript
sherlock: i love the sound of my own deep velvety voice reciting poetic non-sequiturs
victorian woman: THERE’S A CASE
john: yeah, holmes, let’s talk about the case
sherlock: who care I HAVE A PAST WATSON I AM AT WAR
john: what past what made you this way
sherlock: oh watson, i cut myself off from feelings to protect myself from my love for you
john: 1895 *bursts into flames*
victorian woman: WHO ARE YOU?
sherlock: i’m sherlock holmes, both the iconic character oft misinterpreted as an unfeeling machine in the public imagination and a modern phenomenon who will finally be allowed to love in a popular adaptation of ACD’s stories currently airing on the BBC
john: WEAR THE DAMN HAT, YOU’VE SAID TOO MUCH.
Ray Bradbury: Time travellers must be exceptionally careful. Something so small as stepping on a butterfly can radically alter the entire course of human history.
12th Doctor: *Rides into a medieval castle on top of a tank playing electric guitar* I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am!
Ray Bradbury: And then there’s that motherfucker.
Nick Fury: This year I lost one of my best agents, Phil Coulson.
Phil Coulson: (from the other side of the Helicarrier) QUIT TELLING THE AVENGERS I’M DEAD!
Nick Fury: Sometimes I can still hear the motherfucker’s voice.
My favorite thing about the Doctor’s past faces showing up on monitors in new episodes is the implication that literally everywhere he goes he is being recorded from various highly cinematic angles at all times, and somewhere there exists a database storing all of this footage for use by the series’ villains in order to aid their dramatic speeches when they confront him.
