Thoughts on the BBC's new Sherlock Holmes adaptation:

OMG YAY!

I wasn't expecting it to be any good, and I was so pleasantly surprised.

Moffat is still a good writer.

I like the adaption to more modern things, especially the texts, lol.

I can already see the slash potential.

Good! Hopefully we'll get it on this side of the pond sometime in the relatively near future. In the meantime, I am catching up on Dr Who.

I concur! I only caught the last half hour (stupid BNP women) but I liked it so much I'm gonna catch the rest on iPlayer tomorrow. :)

BNP women, uuugh. Depressing stuff. Sociopathic loner detectives are far far better! I hope you enjoy the bits you missed - I was totaly not expecting it to be much good but I am so happy to be proved wrong. By the end I was all 'OMG adorable! And messed up!'

I have seen up to the OMG Behind Youuuuuuu reveal, and then the TV turned itself off and everyone who knew how to get iPlayer back on it was asleep, argh.

"I consider myself to be married to my work", hee!

Oh, damn. You missed quite a bit of the ending then. I will not spoil.

I like this even better than the RDJ film version- mostly because I really enjoyed the two actors, I think they have some chemistry, and the dialogue was actually pretty decent and funny.

Oh my! I still haven't even seen the RDJ version yet. This sounds promising...

It was very enjoyable. I really loved the vibe between Holmes and Watson - they are clearly both quite messed up people. Love it!

I thought it was fab too, definite squee material ^_^
The writing was really good and so was the chemistry between them.

That's just what I liked about them too, and I liked Benedict Cumberpatch as Holmes a lot.

Oooh I will await patiently ... we're still catching up on Dr Who this side of the world! ^__^

It's v entertaining! I hope you don't have to wait too long (I can always discreetly point you in the way of a dl if you want?)

Yeah, loved it. LOVED. Thought the whodunnit was depressingly easy, such that it damaged the illusion of his brilliance when I got it immediately, but other than that I am hooked.

Ha! I did also generally LOVE! Holmes did seem a bit slow during that whole 'oh, it's a cabbie!' slo mo realisation scene - it was a bit obvious. Maybe the nicorette patches were impairing him after all.

Totally agreed. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it didn't take long to reach the point of "OMGYAYWANTMORE!" So fun :D (plus I love Martin Freeman forever)

Benedict Cumberpatch is my new tv boyfriend. I've never seen him in anything else but I thought he was pretty awesome as Holmes.

Oh the pain of only Bomer and brothertouch. How will you survive!
