Yeah, like that's not an important bit of information. But if they want to do the reveal of the villain more slowly it makes sense. I was wondering how Sherlock's fan had found the cabbie.

Wow! Just fininished watching it, and that is NOT what I would have cut.

BTW I don't read Sherlock Holmes as either asexual or demisexual, in either the original or 21st century version. I read him as "I'm a superman and better than everything else at everything I do. So, in any area where I lack special advantages, I won't play and will pretend (even to myself) not to be interested."

Yeah and like everyone else I assumed both pills were poison. Million tricks to either neutralize poison, or substitute something harmless in the pill the cabbie was left with.

In the books, Watson is hoping Holmes will get interested in one of the clients (Copper Beeches, the one about the bicyclist, one of those) because Holmes admires her wit.

Eh, I think they thought it was a bit they could edit down with minimal effort just to make room for Alan Cumming being a sexy introduction bitch at the beginning. I mean, they aired it on the BBC with it, and the parts that they could've cut without losing any plotty stuff were more in the action sequences.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

PBS airs tons of stuff before and after programs, I bet they cut a good 6-7 minutes out. I really enjoyed it, though!

Hay baling and blacksmithing? Have we snapped back in time?

Here's my contribution: Bob came back from a church event today bandaged up from cutting some croissants. We went to the urgent care "just in case" because he wasn't in that much pain, it was just bleeding. Turns out, he had cut part of his thumb off!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ack, bon! I hope Bob bob heals up quickly! Croissants are dangerous!
 
I have no opinion on Holmes having seen neither show nor movie, and having loved the literature, but prepubescent at the time.

Ouch! Poor Bob!

Also, I would just like to say, for the record, fuck insomnia. I have to get up in less than three hours and commute an hour across LA, and my stupid brain will not shut up. Tomorrow...sorry, TODAY is not going to be pretty.
