A Study in Sherlock
Watched the first episode of BBC's Sherlock, and hotdamn WAS IT AWESOME! AND GAY! I'm still spazzing now so I'm incoherent.
My favorite character has to be Mrs. Hudson. Such a sweet woman, I love how she says "Sherlock!" in an exasperated voice. And *shock* she's a gay shipper!
(Watson was surveying the flat for the first time)
Mrs. H: There's another bedroom upstairs... if you'll be needing two bedrooms.
Watson: *bewildered* Of course we'll be needing two.
Mrs. H: Oh, don't worry, there's all sorts 'round here. Mrs. Turner next door's got married once.
(Holmes dashes off to a case, leaving Watson behind)
Mrs. H: (to Watson) Look at him, dashing about... My husband was just the same. But you're more the sitting down type, I can tell.
Then there's more at the restaurant scene! Poor Watson insisting he's not Sherlock's date, and some cute discussions on Sherlock's orientation <3
Benedict Cumberbatch (left) was a lovely Sherlock. Absolutely love his expressions, even though he talks too fast at times. The British accent doesn't help much, either XD Martin Freeman's Watson is darker than usual, yeah. I liked how they explored his being a war doctor and the repercussions it has on his current life; I think it's more realistic that way.
Aside from Lestrade, I was pleasantly surprised to see another of my favorite characters. I won't tell who it is, but I honestly thought it was Moriarty.
Another thing, at the end, when they were throwing around the word idiot a lot, I can't help but remember Arthur and Merlin from Merlin. Whew, BBC and their gay shows.
I've always been a fan of retellings - fairytales, historical occurrences, even Wicked. This updated Sherlock series would be another on my list. Definitely worth the five hour torrent wait!
