Maladaptive Daydreamer?

[MillieDynamite]

Well, it's the only updated Sherlock Holmes set of stories I've liked. Not even the ones set in the 40s with Basil Rathbone were good ones to me. The two he did, period correct, were great. John Noble doesn't show up until season 4, though he was mentioned a lot by Sherlock as Noble played his father Morland Holmes. Elementary is available on streaming on Hulu. It might be on Paramount Plus, as it is a CBS property. If you like mysteries, it's first-rate. Lucy Lui plays Joan Watson and is as good as anyone's portal of Watson ever. Aidan Quinn as, Captain Thomas Gregson's character. Gregson was the detective from the books and short stories that Doyles Holmes respected the most of all the policemen. It's worth watching, but remember it's a 21st century Holems so not the same as the stories. They use plots and characters from the original story series. I'm a fan, just in case you didn't get it.

You are right. William Bell seems to be in every episode.
Walter always talks about him, Massive Dynamic IS in every episode and then with Olivia being a product of the experiements, etc, etc.

I admit that I haven't seen a lot of John Noble's work, but from what I have seen, Walter Bishop is by far his best work.

I heard of Elementary, but didn't watch it.
Is it worth me taking a gander???
If I can find it for free on AP or NF.

EDIT: "Sherlock, Mycroft, and Morland, what's with your family and first names?" can't remember who said it. "Shimwell, what kind of name is that?" Sherlock asks, "Sherlock, what's with your name?" Shimwell. "I've read all the comic books. The Midnight Ranger has been killed five times. My favorite, he plunges to his death from a cliff into a raging river, locked in an embrace with his nemesis," Sherlock Holmes said.

I don't get Hulu or Paramount+

I might scope it out, if I can find it somewhere.

My oldest daughter is a Sherlock Holmes fan.
I got her a whole 9 book hardcover series for her birthday.

Please read the quotes I added after you posted your replay. We must have passed each other in the posting.

This all went right over my head.

Well, surely you know the significance of the last quote? Read the short story, The Adventure of the Final Problem, and you'll get that one.

I've never read a single line from Sherlock Holmes.
I can't say anything bad about it, because of that.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Sigh, you're such a heathen. LOL, Holmes was required reading by my adoptive father.

Here's another exchange from the show.

Gang Leader: What up, Holmes?

Sherlock: I don't know if you're using my name or, as in homie or homeboy.

Damn proud to be a heathen.
We are who truly makes society and the world work.
When my daughter gets home, I'll ask her to talk to me about it.
If it sounds interesting, I'll give it a gander.

Hi,

Has anyone here ever hear of "Maladaptive Daydreaming"?

https://www.sleepfoundation.org/mental-health/maladaptive-daydreaming

It is a relatively new psychological condition in which a person spends a lot of their time daydreaming quite vividly, typically of big "scenes" or stories, often re-visiting the same dream over and over, building that "world" with each visit.

I've not had a diagnosis, but it absolutely fits me.

In my teens I spent a lot of time staring out the window during classes, dreaming up stories that I would then sometimes write as short stories. When I'd go home, being the lonely nerd I am, I would lay on the sofa waiting for my family to come home, imagining myself on board the Enterprise, or in some other franchise, having my own adventures.

When I would masturbate, it was whilst envisioning some kind of erotic story in my head... (Porn is nice, but it's a well written story that I really love...)

These days I kind of prefer fairly repetitive tasks at work, because once I have learned the task, I can then daydream as I'm doing it. Zombie apocalypse? Cool. Shooter coming into the building? Let's go.

I will day-dream about what conversations I'm going to have when I go to the doctor, or what I wish I'd said to that asshole who pushed in front of me at the checkout.

It's long been the source for my writing... stories playing out in my head, with characters that annoyingly tend to do what they want, not what I want. Bastards, how dare they.

Anyways - just curious.

100% I'm a maladaptive daydreamer. Was diagnosed with ADD as a kid and as long as I could remember I've always had issues with daydreaming and spacing out really easily and for a very long time at times. My attention span is short as fuck, and when it goes my daydreams start. I have awesome daydreams though.

I don't but I'm planning a story about a woman who is. Her bookish daughter meets a guy at college, finally brings him home when they got engaged and he's a super nice guy, total alpha male. And she gets so enamored with him, she begins to have these elaborate seductive daydreams.
