dancing_moonOhhh~ That was different. Good, but different.
So since my hair iss full of hairdye, I thought I'd actually *le gasp* watch some series. First I was going to catch up on the Doctor Who episode I still haven't seen, but everyone says it's pretty boring and I already have my weekly dose of pirates... so I took down the BBC Sherlock pilot instead.
First reaction: Hahaha! Anderson has a beard!
Second reaction: Um, wait, that's how the apartment looks? ...glad they changed it.
Third reaction: Okay, parts of this make a lot more sense than the "finished" versions. Drugged Sherlock and the exchange leading up to that gives weight to a lot of the fanon, about his backstory as an addict.
That the cabbie would take him back to Baker Street did not actually make much sense (and Lestrade so totally figured out that Watson shot, here), but the kidnapping and the lead-in to the pill scene felt a bit tighter imo. And I think Angelo was even more of a shipper here :)
Generally, I found the filming and settings a lot less pretty. That moody feeling wasn't quite there, so I'm glad they seem to have re-shot so many things. Also, no Big Brother, and he is of course sorely missed.
Meanwhile, Doctor Who has finished downloading, so maybe I'll give that one a shot too a bit later.
