Watson and Bilbo

[aelfgyfu_mead]

If I don't do it now, I will never get around to it, so as (not quite) promised:


How John Watson is very nearly the same as Bilbo Baggins

Bilbo

1. spends time with a really tall guy who
   
   1. is annoying
      
   2. knows he's smarter than everyone else
      
   3. disappears and reappears annoyingly
      
   4. likes to go in disguise, not always for any good reason
      
   5. has an addiction to nicotine
      
   6. but redeems himself somewhat by recognizing true worth in a character everyone else undervalues
   
   
2. likes tea
   
3. has guests who impose on him
   
4. goes long stretches without food and sometimes has meals interrupted
   
5. is underestimated by friend and foe alike
   
6. spends no time with women
   
7. turns out to be a shockingly effective criminal, and we must hope he never truly turns to a life of crime
   
8. retires after his big adventures and leads a long and happy life.

Brilliant!

BTW I hope you don't mind if I friend you. I already memmed your Sherlock recs; we seem to have similar taste in fic.

I'm not a Viking but I do Roman re-enactment (not as often as I used to), often along with the Viking group here.

Oh, sure—friend away! I've seen you on astrogirl2's LJ. I am a B7 fan myself, though I haven't watched in ages. Our Small Child is ten, and at this point we're trying to decide when she'll be old enough to watch when we rewatch the series. (We own it all on DVD, despite the fact that they don't make it for Region 1! We have a multi-region disk player!)

You're quite welcome here. I've just been poking around your LJ a bit and may go back. (I've been reluctant to add new friends lately due to time constraints. Don't let that stop you from friending me or commenting on anything you read here!)

OK!

I have the DVDs too, and did a rewatch last year. A multi-region player is the only way to go down here.
