Jonny Lee Miller is set to play Sherlock Holmes in a new pilot on CBS "Elementary."
Why do they keep trying to make JLM happen? He isn't that good.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love him! I've liked him quite a lot in all the appearances I've seen him in in the past five or so years. He's definitely better than a number of people with regular gigs.
However--the idea that they can carve out a good Sherlock niche with the English version and the movie franchise still extant...sometimes it's not riding the wave, but diving in where there's the most competition.

I think he's a cutie pie, and I liked his turn in the Emma miniseries, plus what I saw of him on Dexter (didn't watch regularly). I thought he was the best thing about Hackers, and I thought he was pretty damned good against some stiff competition in Endgame.
Where does he fail you?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I like him too. I really liked Eli Stone. I wish it had stayed on the air.

Eli Stone. I thought the show was cute, but I thought he was the worst thing about the show. I'm not sure he was in Dexter enough for him to make a mark on me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I really love JLM too. But I also really love SH, and I don't really see Jonny being successful filling that deerstalker.

yes. I am a little annoyed at the stupid. Side note, you generally cant open the back doors on a police car from the inside.

Normally there aren't even handles.
