I'm not watching Sherlock, because I've already seen it uncut.
But this will be in gorgeous HDness. At least that's how I am rationalizing it, personally.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How long are they originally?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, forget my L&O:SVU question. Oops.

The eps I have are an hour and a half each. Now I am wondering if I haven't seen everything.

Only if you can receive in HD. And I haven't upgraded yet because my TV hasn't died.

90 minutes. I don't know exactly what PBS is cutting, but just from turning on the TV for the first episode, I confirmed that they are cutting stuff.
Nope. It looks like a red pumpkin, except with some bumps on the bottom.
Huh. Red eye? Honestly, I have no idea.

Huh. Yeah, there must be some, between Alan Cumming and the sponsorship messages.

Well. Sherlock really is quite something. I really enjoyed it. I admit I was dubious about it being ported to the 21st century (despite the raves I read on LJ and heard on NPR), but seriously, it was really very good.
I'm fascinated by discussion I've read on LJ and elsewhere that Holmes is asexual. From what I understand of asexuality, I think there's a very strong chance of it.

This Sherlock? Or Doyle's as well?

I believe I read some people saying that Doyle's written Sherlock qualifies as well. I don't remember 100%, though, so I wouldn't swear to it. And I've never read the original stories, so I have no opinion on that.
But this one, and the movie with RDJ as well? I can definitely see it.

Why would you see him as asexual and not just as someone not having sex? Is it really that rare (and I'm asking myself that question) to have a protagonist who doesn't express anything sexual during the story that one would assume it's an orientation and not just a period of not caring?
