To be fair, let’s place blame where blame is warranted. Ever since I’ve gotten into fangirl mode over BBC’s Sherlock<\/strong> – and yes, Benedict Cumberbatch (There, I’ve admitted it!) – I must now search out and find\u00a0all shows that feature the aforementioned Mr. Cumberbatch.<\/p>\n

Problem is, most of the films BC has done are period pieces or other types of films I have no interest in seeing, not even for the chance of hearing his voice once again (Have I always been this lowbrow? Umm, probably.) I’d rather just rewatch Sherlock<\/strong>. So the chance to see him in\u00a0a film\u00a0that I might have a tiny<\/em> bit of interest in is not something I’m willing to pass up.<\/p>\n

I did not enjoy the original Star Trek<\/strong> reboot – that was surprising. Going into it, I figured I’d really enjoy and hubby (who is not a trekkie, but does truly love the original series) would be meh<\/em> on it. The opposite was what occurred. So this time around I figured I’d usher hubby out the door with his friends for a Star Trek<\/strong> day while I stayed with the kids. That way, he’d have a good time with the guys, I’d have pizza day with my girls AND have hubby owe me some “mommy” time later… win-win, right?<\/p>\n

Instead, Benedict Cumberbatch ruined that plan for me. Now I need to find a babysitter and sit through Chris Pine’s portrayal of Kirk.<\/p>\n
