That? Was AWSOME! Thank you so much for writing and sharing it.
Not only is the story absolutely lovely, I can also perfectly hear their voices in my head.
I didn't know anyone knew that TV show but me! I mean, I was sure that somebody must've watched it, too, back then, but since I've never seen it mentioned anywhere, I just thought people had forgotten all about it. Which made me a little sad, because I loved that show to pieces and Whitehead and Pickering are my favourite Holmes and Watson right after (sorry ;) RDJ und Jude Law.
It is pretty wonderful, isn't it? Someone uploaded it all to YouTube, and I am ridiculously grateful to them for that, otherwise I'd never have seen it. I could pick a million tiny holes in it (must you include the blasted deerstalker? *sigh*), but really, it's too good to hate for little things like Holmes' hair colour or nose shape

AUGH YES. The problem with Ritchie's use of Adler is that it actually makes sense in context, if you take out the question of Holmes' sexuality. (Which I realise is sacriledge, but for the sake of simplicity...) The character extrapolations that they've made aren't baseless - they simply assume that Adler's actions in SCAN are her modus operandi. And if you assume that she blackmails royals and has hasty marriages on a regular basis, it sort of makes sense, that interpretation of her as a regular - and skilled - criminal. She and Holmes would be consorting on a regular basis, and if you then take into account the practically all-pervading, utterly baseless assumpion that most accept, it's not that much of a step to assume they had an affair. None of this stops me hating it. (Seriously, I have such a grudge where Irene Adler is concerned. I worry so much about Moffat and the second series of Sherlock, it's not even funny. D

“You do realise that you’ve given yourself two servings of scrambled eggs, four thoroughly shredded rashers of bacon, three slices of toast with a variety of different spreads, as well as tea with triple the amount of milk you usually take and five teaspoons of sugar.” Holmes froze in the process of reaching once more for the eggs.
I shared Watson's giggling from the start <3 Lovely!!
