Re: Matilda and Sherlock
in reply to a message by Howie
I never liked Matilda, it sounds cartoonish and geriatric at the same time. Cordelia and Matilda are just AWFUL, like two cranky old cartoon women screeching at Scooby-Doo to get off their grass. Sarah is duller than last night's dishwater.
Nathaniel is good. Sherlock, not good. It's associated with one character and one character only, and is often used sarcastically: "Nice going, Sherlock, trying to put out an electrical fire by pouring water over it."
