So I finally watched the first episode of "Sherlock" the new BBC
Edited on Wed Dec-15-10 06:06 PM by Coventina
reboot of Sherlock Holmes.

I had recorded it a few months ago, and never got around to watching it until last night. I was afraid it was going to be horrid.

Well, my fears were quickly quelled.

AI-Yi-Yi! I love this reboot!!!

I love Martin Freeman. Didn't know the guy who plays Sherlock but boy he nails it!!!
The chemistry is great between them and they really are true to Doyle's characters.

Now I'm just sorry I only have 2 more episodes to watch! But I hear more are on the way. Can't wait!!

:woohoo:
:loveya:
:bounce:
:wow:

1. Isn't it awesome? I love, LOVE Martin Freeman. What a great Watson. I like Watson as an
adrenaline junkie, too.

2. It's a role he was born to play. And yes, I love the adrenaline junkie aspect too.

Together the two of them are just HOT!!!

After watching the show last night I was poking around the internet to lean more and I came across this really great fan video on you tube set to Franz Ferdinand:

8. You must be hipper than me if you knew about this guy because
he's apparently a "hot young actor".

I doff my cap to you.

13. Sounds like a Family Guy character's name.
I'd like you to meet Mr. Bottomtooth, Buzz Killington and Benedict Cumberbatch.

7. can't wait for more episodes either...
I think they were only going to make these three initially, but due to its popularity they are making more for "us" :)

15. I love the way Mrs. Hudson assumes they're gay
And has absolutely no problem with that.
Cumberbatch is definitely hawt.
