And lord knows, it won’t be over till the fat lady sings, I will be at the shot show upcoming for the duration. The best laid plans, et al, but so far it looks like it’s gonna fall into place. Anyone else gonna be there?

And thats’ fine. We can have warming right up to may, and then it can get hot, for all I’m concerned. But I know better.

having seen Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, I like him as Watson a great deal.

However, I have been reading Doyle since I was seven, and Sherlock was never a dick. Oh, he had his little jokes on Watson but he was always loyal and kind to his friend. The idea that snide sarcasm = dizzying intellect is one that appears to be uniquely British, or has a uniquely British impression. I do not think that to be necessary, it detracts from the stories, and it makes the whole series less than it could be, which is brilliant. I don’t know if it has been written/directed this way, or of Cumberbund is injecting this into the mix, but it is stupid, unnecessary, and wrong. Do it well, morons, you’re better than this.

Update: This is the Sherlock I will always think is the best.
