fishingboatproceeds: bbc-bestbromancecompany: Nerdfighter Benedict? Or just failed Vulcan? As far as I can tell, there are eight possibilities here. (I’ve spent a fair bit of time thinking about this.) 1. Benedict Cumberbatch is a hardcore nerdfighter and when Martin Freeman threw up a gang sign, Cumberbatch was like, “I have one of those.” 2. Cumberbatch, who obviously has a relationship with Star Trek, just naturally changed the Vulcan sign (pulling in the thumbs, turning the palms inward, crossing the arms) in precisely the same way that I happened to change the Vulcan sign when I first made the nerdfighter sign in the halcyon days of 2007. 3. One of the interns on set who has gained the trust of Benedict Cumberbatch was like, “If you do your hands like this, the Internet will get really excited.” And so he did. 4. BBC, in their infinite wisdom, staged the entire photo and Cumberbatch was taught the nerdfighter sign (I MEAN LOOK AT THE PERFECTION OF HIS NERDFIGHTER SIGN! He seems so comfortable and confident in it, almost as if it is muscle memory, almost as if he has flashed it to his laptop screen on hundreds of occasions in the past, but I digress) and this photograph was staged to get people psyched for Sherlock, although what tiny segment of nerdfighteria is not already psyched for Sherlock? Also, if this is the case, who is Martin Freeman trying to advertise to? Residents of the West Side? 5. Benedict Cumberbatch has a relative or a friend who is a nerdfighter and so he is passingly familiar with nerdfighteria and liked what he has seen and wanted to make us all very happy. 6. The nerdfighter sign also happens to be the hand sign of some obscure English gang with which I am unfamiliar called like The East London Wanderers or The Slightly Intimidating Liverpudlians or whatever. 7. Nerdfighteria actually figures in the plot of the new season of Sherlock. Perhaps a nerdfighter has been (wrongly no doubt!) accused of a murder. 8. Benedict Cumberbatch was playing some kind of British version of Rock Paper Scissors against two invisible opponents, and he went double scissors (as any smart person would). I appreciate so much that you did such a detailed analysis on this, John. In my infinite tumblring, I’ve seen Benedict repeatedly do this Vulcan sign with the thumbs pulled in, so I think no one’s ever corrected him. But I also hope they are both part of some obscure British Sherlock-loving-Nerdfighter’s gang, because that would be awesome.

Its just really funny to me how Eric’s character went from a kind of intimidating yet goofy older brother to a complete and utter crazy person.

I don’t get it either, but Eric is hilarious.

Time I just keep thinking about how sometimes it feels infinite, and other times there’s just not enough of it and right now, I’m feeling like my time in Cheb is going too fast. I feel like I didn’t do enough for the students. I feel like I could’ve done more. And now that I’m starting to feel close to many people here, I’m about to leave. That’s the worst part about traveling; people in a place become like your family and your best friends, and then you have to leave and say goodbye and in a new place, it starts all over again.  I hate that feeling. I don’t want to say goodbye.

"DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?" -
