Cat's in the Cradle by daasgrrl - House/Sherlock/Fortysomething

From her summary:

Summary: In the beginning, there was Sherlock Holmes. And Holmes brought forth the brilliant doctor House, embodied by the lovely Hugh Laurie. Who prior to that in Fortysomething played a slightly less brilliant doctor, Paul Slippery, who begat three sons, the eldest of whom was played by the equally-lovely-if-somewhat-peculiarly-named Benedict Cumberbatch. Who of course grew up to play Sherlock. And the Universe looked upon its work and pronounced it good. And then my head exploded.

In a variety of ways, this is like, a metatextual moebius strip of awesome. The echoing scenes between House and Sherlock interspersed with the fortysomething clips (I have never seen the show, but good God, I kinda want to now) with good flow and just--I love it. There's so much to chew on.

Yes, it's 4 AM but one, I have tomorrow off and two, Friday's dr appointment was both stressing and relieving. I leave it to you to make that excuse hold water.

Dear god, that vid is made of so much awesome! And you have to watch Fortysomething!! It's absolutely hilarious! And Rory (BC's character) is like the sweetest thing... :D I have to do a re-watch one of these days.

Oh wow, that video...too cool!

Fortysomething is hilarious! I highly recommend it. Hugh Laurie is on fine form, and Benedict Cumberbatch is so sweet. If you can stand to watch it on Youtube, some people have put up the episodes...there's a playlist that has all six eps <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC070DE942E6B7536&feature=plcp>here</a>.

I never would have noticed how much mirroring there is between Hugh Laurie and Benedict Cumberbatch (and between House and Sherlock) without that vid. Now I have to track down Fortysomething. Baby Benedict! \o/

Vacillating between stressed and relieved is stressful itself. Playing on the internet all night is a perfectly valid response. ::nods::

Oh, I'm so happy and amazed that everyone and their cat is now reccing this vid! I discovered it late last night (and then stayed up VERY LATE to keep watching and rewatching) and it is mindblowing and breathtaking and paradigm shifting and I love your description 'metatextual moebius strip of awesome'!

Daasgrrl = genius.
