    not related to amount of contact they have with people but just their actual danger to people, Muskox is up there

    even though they live far up in the mountains and are very good at making it very clear that they do not appreciate company that doesn't always stop the especially stupid among us

    ?uuid=7c8c73ca-7016-5fd4-b7fc-98d62dae8dcf&function=cropresize&type=preview&source=false&q=75&width=1600&height=839&x=1.0E-5&y=0.1277&crop_w=0.99999&crop_h=0.7464&z=0

    I mean, that's why it's a superpower. A miraculous manifestation that defies explanation.

    (Cats actually can be clicker trained and can learn how to follow commands pretty well.)

    there are signs, in Dovre where most of the muskox live, saying to keep 200m distance, because at 200m they don't really care about you

    and to not go closer, because this is not an animal that flees, this is an animal that fights. And they weigh over 200 kilos and can run at 60 km/h.

    But on the plus side, as one source here notes, they usually use the frontal bone which just results in soft-tissue damage and broken bones, and don't seem to use the horns to stab people on purpose

    I feel like there's a good chance it means something physiologically, because it seems like it would

    but I have an intense craving for candy all of a sudden and I am not going to examine it further and I'll probably just go buy a ton

    I think it's worth watching all the way up to the wedding. That is where the show shines the best with the characters that they've built up, before they decided to take a shit on everything (to be fair, IRL Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington's relationship was falling apart so maybe it's best that they went that direction, but still...).

    I am talking about the BBC Sherlock show with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Watson. Martin Freeman's longtime RL partner Amanda Abbington played his fiancee/wife Mary Morstan in the show. But shortly after Season 3, they split up. The wedding episode happens in Season 3, I think (which is where I would stop), and Season 4 is utter shit.

    oh no; that's sad to hear

    I liked it a lot when it came out and haven't rewatched it (I don't generally rewatch anything); I also did not see the full run--can't remember if I saw season 3 or just 1+2, and definitely didn't see season 4 because people said it was bad

    the biggest complaint i hear is Benedict's Sherlock solving mysteries through inferences that range from flimsy to nonsense, which i do recall being the case, but also wouldn't be a problem of aging so i dunno if that's it

    When you know none of the hints and clues ever really lead anywhere, Sherlock sucks to watch.

    DK you watched all of Lucifer, right?

    Does it ever recover from the absolutely unbelievable nosedive in quality that happens in season 3?

    Which is just coincidentally when they moved filming from Vancouver to LA

    I mean, to me, the fun is watching how the characters play out and the re-contextualizing of the Victorian Age stories in the modern day. Like, both the original Watson and the BBC Watson are veterans of a war in Afghanistan, but this plays out very differently in a modern context.

    The actual mysteries themselves are just thinly veiled homages to the original stories. I don't think they were really meant to be "true" mysteries in any sense.

    Yes. Because Netflix takes over. The last two seasons were a lot of fun.
