The world according to us... discussion

So before watching Star Trek: Into the Darkness and before my introduction to Sherlock, I did not understand this obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch. He kept popping up on my tumblr dashboard and I just didn't get it. I mean, here's this thirty something year old British man with a peculiar looking face that's winning female hearts all over the world. What's the deal? Then I saw him onscreen. Oh my god, I understood. He's amazing; so, so amazing. I understood the sex appeal, I understood the obsessions, I understood and I joined the legions and I wanted to know more and now I want everyone to know more. Please help me for the greater good.
