Need to see!

[elaby]

Apparently I really need to see the BBC's new modern-Holmes show Sherlock, because numerous people I respect have squeed over it already. And I have only seen the outside of cut tags, because I don't want to spoil myself even for details! I'll just have to find it online or wait until I can get a DVD of it :3

I'm SO glad they keep bringing out awesome new Holmes media that really respects the canon. According to my personal definition of respecting the canon. \o/

I've been dragging my heels, specifically because I KNOW I'm going to completely, madly adore it like a mad adoring thing, and I'm not ready for a new obsession right this exact second :) But from what everybody says, it sounds AMAZING. I'm absolutely in love with the premise--the idea that you can actually make it MORE authentic by modernizing it, because it wasn't a period piece to the Victorians? AWESOME. Oh, Steven Moffat, such collision you've brought to my fandoms, you wonderful, wonderful man...

YES! Dude. I so feel the same way re: adoring and new obsession. And I have this weirdo inexplicable aversion to watching things on the computer.

HOLY COW, you're smart! I never thought of this! XD But it's so TRUE! (That's a good argument for modern adaptations of Shakespeare, too...)

Oh gawd, I'm not that smart either. Not NEARLY XD Steven Moffat said it, in a promo piece, and that was the instant I was sold on this interpretation. And you're so right about Shakespeare! I never thought about THAT that way. So clearly the prize for the evening goes to you, m'dearie :)

You are too that smart ^_^ But apparently so is Steven Moffat! I really do like that man a lot XD
