People who act like they're so manly. But then again, they're not cute.
You mean the new one with Martin Freeman and... What's his face? The tall guy? I actually don't see it as all that bad; it's obviously not the same as the Jeremy Brett era and they are going a bit balls on the wall with the changes they're making to the stories, which bothers me, but it's relatively enjoyable - though I've only watched the couple episodes they brought out and that was as soon as they became available so I may be misremembering.
High five! And yeah, that's one of the reasons I usually don't go for paperbacks if/when given the choice; even if you're ridiculously careful they are bound to get a little bent/etc over the years regardless.
