Last night I rewatched A Study in Pink for the first time, and I loved it. It seemed pretty much flawless.
So I find myself wondering, why wasn't I that into it the first time? I can only assume that they didn't do enough to get the viewer invested in the characters. Now, after having watched two series, I am very invested in the characters. I

Last night I rewatched The Blind Banker, and it was so riddled with plotholes that I'm still offended this morning. I have a feeling that may have coloured my impression of Study in Pink, when I first saw it.

The Blind Banker was just...weird, for me. I kind of knew the ye-olde-exotic feel they were going for, but it was jarring.

Moriarty made me uncomfortable in his first ep, but by Reichenbach, I totally loved him (in an I HATE YOU! sort of way).
As far as canon, I hadn't read the books at all. My only familiarity with it was my love of The Great Mouse Detective when I was 10.
I started watching some of Benedict's stuff in the few months leading up to s2. Started with Last Enemy. Was bored and stopped before the first ep was over. Watched something eise and thought meh. Then someone posted a link to dl Third Star. I was disappointed in it at first. Then something made me watch it again. Then again. I've probably watched it at least 20 times since and bought my own copy. Just about everything else I've seen BC in I have loved (still need to get back to Last Enemy).

The only thing of Benedict's that I had ever seen was Creation, in which he has a very small part but stood out for me as the best part of the movie (and probably the most accurate)... and the most attractive. Which is weird, because it took a very long time for me to jump on the Cumberstruck boat. (I didn't initially recognize it was the same actor.) When I did, it was via a photo from the Van Gogh piece, in which he is also ginger and bearded.
Now I'm so Cumberstruck that today's article from the Telegraph in which he talks about having been "broody" since he was 12 is really upsetting me, because there is no way in hell I am raising another baby, so that makes him not an option (not that he was ever really an option, but that's how my poor brain works). It would probably help if I weren't sick in bed...
I wish there articles about John Finnemore and Steven Moffat in the Telegraph.
