A Holmesian Doctor

So I saw the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes film (with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson) today and it got me thinking.

I had a dirty crush on Jeremy Brett's Holmes. UNF.

I can see where you're coming from and I like the direction you're taking. I think really it's down to the viewers expecting a little more action in their Who these days.

Mind, Ten did come out with some blinding deductions whilst channeling his inner McGyver. I could see Eleven being the one to go that way, but we've also seen pictures of him running; however, it's exciting to speculate. :)

Oh I have nothing against running. Holmes did quite a bit of running.

I'd just like something different from the "leap in screwdriver first" approch we had with Nine and Ten. It worked for them. But each Doctor is supposed to be different. Give us an analytical Doctor.

I have high hopes that the Doctor who dresses like a geek, will act like one and follow through with the science. Being a man of action like Ten got him in a lot of trouble, maybe he'll temper that gung ho enthusiasm with some caution.

Which would be a very good thing indeed.

He's running through lives like nobodys busisness. He needs to be more careful.

I know, it's actually bordering on absurd.

Well, matt's signed up for 3 years with the option of a further two, so we'll have some stability for a while.

I mean Time Lords are supposed to be able to live for thousands of years.

The Doctor is almost out of lives and he's barely passed 900.
