So last night I watched the new Sherlock. Christ, I was EXHAUSTED afterwards. All that bling-bling sparkle-sparkle LOOK AT US AND HOW CLEVER WE ARE. It was a relief to get back to the more story-and-character-focused calm of Elementary.

I did like the little hat-tip to fanfic writers, though. Cute!

Ah, then you are in an enviable position, as you can watch these versions and judge them on their own merits, rather than comparing them to Holy Writ. (I kinda wish I could have done that with the LOTR movies.) Sherlock does include some quite canon things in clever ways, for which I give them credit. Here's an example: in the original stories, Watson had indeed been in the military and been wounded - in Afghanistan. That's serendipity for you!

Since you're not familiar with what's canon and what isn't, I'd be very interested to hear what you think of Elementary, so do come back and give me your opinion. :)

I will. I plan to watch Elementary later this evening.
