God, I am starting to think that I am the kiss of death to things. Things look so cool, and I arrive, and they die. Wail. I had better not go near the Big Bang! Nor a handy local council service - the building housing it will probably fall down at this rate.
There were definitely things that I didn't understand about the comm when I joined LJ, and things that made me nervous about posting, and I think that is because I was new to everything: LJ, Pros, and active participation (rather than just reading). I don't think that's common. I think most people have experience of at least one of those before finding the thing.
I also had totally forgotten the detail of the end of Sherlock. I think it was simply the realisation that that pool scene took ten minutes (well, that scene and the dead man in the car together). That's a long time for such a bathetic resolution. I think I'd have lost interest. I know a friend did genuinely just get bored and give up at about the stage I tuned in - so just in time to miss Irene Adler's 'battle-dress' (or whatever she called it), whoops.
