Well then, the only thing that can prompt me to post anything is the all too familiar stress of upcoming exams. It's so nice to practise escapism isn't it?
Tsk tsk tsk. Such a problem. Especially when it leads one to end up with a new addiction. Urk.
The addiction in question is none other than BBC's new series Sherlock. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
I can't say the show is perfect (I still find some of the deductions still too far fetched), but it is refreshingly different. I love the modern setting. I keep chuckling whenever they make a reference to the canon but have modernised it in some way (e.g. replacing Watson's watch with something more relevant to today's times). And the use of technology to annoy people in the first episode. Genius.
And Watson!
To Freeman, I'm sorry that your name didn't stick in my mind when I saw The Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I was disappointed with the movie in general), but your acting of Watson does. And I shall look forward to your role as Bilbo, when Jackson finally sorts out the legal mess that is The Hobbit.
I think I just like seeing modern London.
