1. That's another one of the bad parts. You would expect Sherlock to be changed from tolorable (in the novels) to likeable (in the series), but somehow it went wrong. I hope they didnt do it in the BBC incarnation of Sherlock. while "Sherlock" was highly conservative, with Watson and Moriarty staying men and all, i do hope they kept the standard. In case of seeing "Sherlock" by BBC, do you recommend to watch that, or should i take that like every Elementary season since the final of season 2?

2. I keep watching "Beauty and the beast" and slowly finishing the first half of the movie. Here are some insights about certain aspects:

A. Belle: The part where Belle came to the castle to rescue her father. Naturally she wanted a minute with her father before taking his place as a prisoner, but the beast got angry like a giant malformed child. The answer Belle gave him was great. "Forever can spare a minute". One of the smartest senteces o heard this month, arguably my whole 2nd semester in college. Another good part was when Belle tried to teach a little girl how to read. Much better than the animated part when she tried to do it with a sheep. Alas, the movie insisted on keeping the iritating opening song. Even Emma Watson couldnt make this song tolorable. Do you also find the opening song of "Beauty and the beast" as rather iritating?

B. The supporting characters: Not sure about most of the animated objects, but Lumiere's design was nice. Human-like rather than cartoonish candle in the original. And his dust cleaner lover cracked me up with "i've been burned by you before". Mrs Teapot was just as nice as she was in the original. Her role as both prince Adam's motherly figure (his true mother is dead and his father was similar to Weiss' father) and explaining Belle about the history of the castle got her a good place in my heart. The 3 dumb blondes from the animated film were replaced by 3 mundane at best girls. I liked that change. Just show you what kind of girl would fall for Gaston.

C. Gaston: I would say Gaston got the most prominent improvment. When Le-Fou arranged some other drunks to cheer to Gaston, you could see small but significant hints. Le-Fou's feelings toward Gaston were even more obvious than in the animated version (adoring looks and getting Gaston to hug him from behind. Nuff said). And when Le-Fou said "no one leave bite marks as Gaston" while showing his hickey-like bite mark, i realized Gaston didnt just promised Le-Fou his love, but also Slept with his soldier (like with Jill and Charlie). Gaston can lie to himself and everybody else until the rapture ("you're the best, Le-Fou. How didnt any girl got you?"), but at least 3 people (Gaston himself, Le-Fou and the audience) know what he did for executing his plans. Since it's Gaston we're talking about, going any distance to achieve his goal is just the thing he would do. I also have a theory that Gaston was fully aware to Prince Adam's existance long before Belle's father warned people about the creature. Given he was a soldier, Gaston must've knew about the people who sent him to the war. He just played goldfish to get the upper hand over the poor old man. That's what psychopaths who want to marry someone do. They play goldfish and pretend to help their intended father in law, only to leave the poor man to the wolves when he refuse to help the said psychopath.

D. The wolves: i have a theory that they werent actual wolves. They were far too agressive for just natural animals. And they lived very close to the castle. Either the former king or prince Adam hired a band of bandits, who are represented in the film as wolves, to guard the way and robbing poor passengers. Adam would've attacked them eventually with or without Belle, because they went out of control and turned on their former patron.

You got the link. Just in case you would like to watch it by yourself.

3. You got it right :-). Cindi will be murdered in prison, both because she did the unthinkable and because Gretel the warden promise an early parol to the woman who'll kill Cindi. Gretel have a good reason to hate Cindi, arguably even more than everybody else's, because Cindi killed Gretel's brother. Specifically, she killed Hanzel by slashing his troat infront of Molly and Roberta (Little Red Riding Hood)'s eyes. Hanzel tried to plead for his life. "You dont have to do it, Cindi. My sister is a warden. I can talk to her. She'll arrange you a parol. She can save you". Cindi reply by slashing his troat while saying "let's cut the shit, shall we?".

4. Being more trustworthy than Cinder is too easy, but i guess you can give Salem the credit being unrealistically compassionable for a bloodthirsty dictator. Not sure why did she sent Hanzel to peacefully negotiate White Fang. Is it possible to negotiate peacefully with terrorists? Weiss did the right choice with keeping the distance from her lame excuse for a father. I met real-life people with such problem, so i have a clue about what she's going through. I assume Weiss' father cant be redeemed, so how did he got his karma eventually?

5. Sure thing :-). Now a pen-mate of mine say Pocahontas is another historical person you and i can exagurate into a fairytale character. Do you see her as a fairytale material? If so, do you like her PL's version better as:

A. A cop in the range of part 2, 3 and 4.

B. A victim.

C. A possible third killer.
