Random Thoughts About Sherlock

The BR Version:

Watching this series as a child, I was always a little scared of Sherlock. As an adult, I find him interesting… but a little dry.

The Disney Version:

No matter how old I get, I still think they did a bang-up job of turning Sherlock into a mouse.

The RDJ Version:

I knew I’d like this version when I saw it was directed by Guy Richie. There’s something idiotically fun about his movies and the violence therein. When you add in the bit of steampunk flair, and Robert Downy Junior’s silly self, it was bound to be a winner. By the time you get to the second movie, and add in Kelly Reilly who I adore, The only complaint I have is that there’s unlikely to be a third. 

The BC Verison: 

Since season three of Moffat’s modern London take on the novels started across the pond, my tumblr feed has been inundated with spoilers of the episodes. But since I don’t care about spoilers, I’m not upset by that. I am among the many fans waiting patiently for some sort of streaming device to catch up so I can get my hands on the episodes. If there’s one thing I love about these episodes over any other version of the story, is that they’re two hours long! This is quite honestly the version of Sherlock I’ve spent the most time with, and I love Cubmberbatch and Freeman as Holmes and Watson. They play off each other so well, and they are just adorable. When I found this version, I knew I’d love it, because I’ve loved Moffat ever since I started watching Coupling nearly 10 years ago.

THE JLM Version:

We watched this until we ditched cable, and I really enjoyed it. I was worried, loving the Bandersnatch version as much as I do, that I was going to be disappointed with this one. Looking back, I’m not really sure why I was worried. I love Lucy Liu – and points to them for gender swapping Watson – and I’m always a fan of Johnny Lee Miller. Augmenting the (now seemingly cannon) drug addiction was an interesting choice and seems to have given them more to play with… but as I was cut off from the series by ditching cable, the fact that I haven’t found it streaming, and because the dvd’s of the seasons are ridiculously priced… I’m kind of on hold with that series. Oh, and as a last note, I’ve seen people upset by the switch to NYC, but I really don’t notice much of a difference – other than cases involving Americans… with their guns.
