Oh yeah. I miss him a *lot*.

Unintentional double entendres aside, this is a lovely show.

But, but, Watson and Holmes are so very slashable. I mean, even as a teen, before I discovered slash -- reading the scene where Watson discovers that Holmes didn't die on Reichenbach falls after all, and faints, used to give me such pleasurable chills.

I guess I was just meant to be a slash fan. Though not quite as so much as a friend who reported asking her mother, at age eight or so, why Robin Hood needed Maid Marian when he already had Little John.

Well, except for the bit where Holmes seems to be asexual.

Well, this was the Victorian era, after all. What Holmes and Watson got up to behind closed doors couldn't be mentioned in the stories. But it does explain his lack of interest in the woman quite well.

I think there are few enough asexual characters in the world that I don't need to convert any of them to heterosexuals, homosexuals, or bisexuals.

(Yes, Russell T. Davies, I am looking right the hell at you.)

Have you encountered Nate Bucklin's song "Asexuals in Love"? I can't find the words online, but I can send you an MP3 if you'd like.

no, I haven't. But that's okay; I'm not much for filk.

It's one of my many many moral failings....

No problem, but it's not filk. Nate's a singer/songwriter, but he's closer to rock than filk or folk.

The pair of them *are* Holmes and Watson - I suspect I will always compare all others unfavourably... at length, loudly, during the programme, to the annoyance of anyone foolish enough to tell me I should give X new version a chance :D

It's exceedingly true.

*still holds a torch for Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce*

Not having seen much of the Brett series, he is just as much Freddie Eynsford-Hill for me *g*

Of course, Holmes and Watson are the subject of one of the few professionally published slash (as opposed to slashy or numbers-filed-off) novels in Rohase Piercy's My Dearest Holmes which, incidentally, is dreadful, so don't get excited.

::squee::

The Adventure of the Dying Detective, isn't it?

Have you seen the story about the giant rat found in Java? First thing I thought of was the reference to The Giant Rat of Sumatra...which in itself was the subject of a book by Richard Boyer.

^.^

And a very, very funny Firesign Theatre Holmes Parody. Aptly titled, "The Giant Rat of Sumatra."

Because geeks make the best parodists.

I already have slashed Holmes and Watson, though only the first couple actually got written down. (And not posted anywhere, because they're pretty much pure smut.)
