I think I like the American version a little better.

Yes yes, bring on the flame war, winter is coming and the angry mob torches will help save on my heating bill.


Now let us look at just the facts. I have only seen the FIRST episode of each series. So I am just judging this entirely based on the pilot episodes. (YES I plan on watching more episodes but right now I'm just a bit more excited for next week's ELEMENTARY. )

Let's look at the heroes

In ELEMENTARY (US) Holmes is a tattooed, bondage loving former drug addict fresh out of rehab. Right off the bat you get the idea that this is a flawed, damaged, and more INTERESTING character.
In SHERLOCK (UK) Holmes comes out as a near "MAGICAL" super sleuth who's only fault is being socially awkward at times. He used to smoke a lot and it IS hinted that at one point he may have had a drug problem. However, he doesn't show it. At no point does the UK Holmes look like he's not 110% in control of the situation. He's like a British BATMAN. Just flawlessly awesome and therefore a little boring. (I'm 99% positive there is or will be a later episode delving into his back story, but again, judging by the pilots here)

So Point goes to the US version.

Now let's look at the style of each show.

Both shows have some good moments of snappy dialog but one thing I did like about SHERLOCK is that the visual style has just more well... STYLE! There are little bits of floating text that let us see things from UK Holmes' point of view. Giving the viewer a chance to MAYBE put it together themselves. The same thing is done for when people get a text on their phones. Instead of an awkward shot of their screen at an angle we just get the text in big bold floating letters. Nice touch. I like it. ELEMENTARY doesn't do anything like that. It just sorta lets US Holmes look around and real quick and then point stuff out. Kinda like MOST cop/mystery dramas. Dull.

Point goes to UK version.


Now, the tie breaker.
WATSON!

BOTH versions of the character have interesting back stories that are just mostly hinted at or revealed in some dialogue. (TELLING us now and most likely SHOWING us in later episodes.) But let us look at the KEY differences. BESIDES the UK version being male and the US version being female.

In ELEMENTARY, Watson is Holmes' sobriety rehab buddy/sponsor. So there is a real reason for her to follow him around ALL THE TIME! To make sure he doesn't try coke, crack or meth again. Which comes off as a real threat since the US Holmes DOES look like he could relapse at any moment if things don't go right for him. (Calling it right now, if Moriarty shows up then he will probably find a way to put Holmes back on drugs.) Again, THIS JUST SEEMS MORE INTERESTING!

In SHERLOCK, Watson is just a vet back from war looking for a roommate. He has no reason to follow UK Holmes around other than BOREDOM. I guess that reason is more loyal to the original books but just comes off as "I have to follow him! It's in the script!" So yeah, still a cool character but not quite as interesting a motivation.

Point and GAME go to ELEMENTARY! The show I'm looking forward to watching next week.


Now this by NO means that SHERLOCK is a bad show. It's well written and well acted and I can totally see why people love it if they're looking for a more TRADITIONAL Sherlock Holmes show.

But for now, I'll keep ELEMENTARY on my must watch list.

Hi everyone!!
I will be on a 3 month travel so I won't be very active...
-------------------------------------

OHMYGLOOOB!!!!

JUST 4 DAYS FOR THE RELEASE OF MIRACLE MASK!!!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

on the next episode of big time rush, kendall is choosing between Jo and lucy. This is one big decision.

alright rushers the new season of big time rush is coming tomorrow on Nickelodeon.

HOLY FLAMING CORNDOGS.
THAT WAS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!
Like I said in the last journal, this was not only the first BTR concert I've ever been, but it was also the first concert for ANY music artist/group I've ever been to.

The traffic getting there was ok until I got to the exit for the PNC arts center, I could hear cars blasting BTR music, so I knew where they were going. :3
I found my seat after purchasing a BTR glowstick and a wristband pack, and patiently waited for the show to begin.
Next thing I knew FRED was on the screen introducing us to Rachel Crow, she's actually not that bad at all, I was impressed
Up next was Cody Simpson, and I swear he does not look like he's fifteen, but he looks so awesome
He also sings quite well.

Now was the moment we were all waiting for, BTR. But we had to wait a couple minutes [LOL] and they even put a countdown clock on the screen. After every minute, we all cheered loudly, louder everytime it shrunk a minute.

Now the fun begins, BTR entered with elevate, I was up screaming and ready to party
During one of the songs [Don't remember which one], Kendall looked right at me and pointed while on stage and waved, I shouted back, "Hi Kendall!" and he made a funny face, couldn't help but squeal >w<
When I heard the music sounds of "Love me love me" I couldn't help myself but scream, "LOVE ME LOVE ME! AHHH!!"
[Well it is my favorite BTR song ] and their dance moves were amazing, plus I think Kendall made a silly face towards my area at the beginning


During Halfway There, Kendall and James were the closest to me, about 6 feet away. Kendall saw me and once again waved and smiled. I did the same thing. Next, James saw me, smiled and waved, followed by blowing me a kiss, that's when I almost started to cry with joy, he's so beautiful
It got even better, Carlos ran towards our area, saw me, and shouted, "Wazz going on!?" At that moment I nearly died because he's my favorite [James is my other favorite, but I like Carlos a lil more]

On a sad note, I was not picked as one of the four worldwide girls, but that's okay, maybe next time

Of course, everyone was up on their feet during Windows Down, Party people WHOOHOO!
The stunts they did during Till I Forget About You were incredible, but after it ended many people were leaving, and I'm like, "true fans stay till the end"

Then all four came out singing their theme song, and wished us all a very good night and thank you for being an amazing audience.


So yup, THE CONCERT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!! THANK YOU SO MUCH BIG TIME RUSH!

EDIT: here are the videos i took of the concert watch out though, i scream and shake alot

Another creepypasta, this one is not really scary, I find it just fucking depressing:

Okay, well. Obviously, Inspector Gadget can't be the man's real name. Whoever he was, he was a regular human who worked for the cops or whatever. Well I think that while on the job, something happened to him. Some terrible accident. Some explosion or collapse that left him completely destroyed. Once the cops found this, the chief (the guy in the show all of the time) decided to do something never before attempted. They used the newest and most secret technology to recreate this man with super human powers (sorta like the bionic man or whatever). They programmed this robot version of the inspector to look and sound just like him, even to think like him. He was programmed with the very best AI and all. He continued working for the company, even watched over his niece and dog, just like the real human version did. The only problem with all of this was that he didn't die in the accident. No, the real human version survived, only he was changed. The accident deformed him, warped his brain, and made him see things differently. Once he discovered that they had replaced him with a robot doppelganger, he swore to destroy it no matter what it took. They had taken his life away and replaced it with a robot, that they now call Inspector Gadget. The human version decided to use everything he had and knew to fight against this robot version, and to do evil to the company that had ruined his life. He also changed his name. Now he is known as Dr. Claw. You never see his face because it is the face of Inspector Gadget, only deformed from the accident.
