Thoughts on the Pilot:



- Prefer the delivery of John's blog exposition in this;
- Music sounds like Doctor Who;
- Wooden Anderson and Lestrade are wooden! And hairy.
- Hahahaha. Restaurant? John can't afford that!
- This feels like a rehearsal. The acting is way off.
- Sherlock's hair is better, though.
- "He's always like" what, Mike? Because he's always like something quite different, now.
- "Oooh, no" ...matron.
- Mrs Hudson got sexy between the pilot and the real ep, didn't she?
- I like the new 221b better; it looks more like 221b, now.
- It's not a street John, so much as a back passage.
- Lestrade: "WILL YOU COME?" John: "... O_o"
- HILARIOUS TAXI CGI!
- Okay, getting slightly nauseous, now - stop with the twirly-twirly!
- Take a breath, Benedict.
- That was... over acting.
- Aw, I like the cute little exchange between Anderson and Donovan when they were rumbled.
- LOL. HAZMAT. He's more hazardous than anything you've got in there.
- Sherlock has deduced that you have tourettes, Dr Watson.
- "Let me hand you a cloth so you can keep on polishing my ego."
- How does Donovan sound just like Donovan, despite being someone else?
- I like this Donovan better. She seems less obnoxious - more like she's telling it as she sees it than being a cunt for the hell of it.
- John: OMG AM LIVING WITH BAT-TOFF. FAP FAP FAP.
- Sherlock: HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! THANK GOODNESS MIGHTY NERD IS ON HIS WAAAAAY!
- I like that Sherlock's patches became industrial strength in the interim.
- Sherlock used to have style, in the pilot.
- John is much more scared of him in this, when he sees the case, particularly - I like that. I think that's more believable. You can see his, "Oh shit! BAT-TOFF KILLED HER!" face.
- OMG I LOVE HIM DIVING OUT OF THE SKIP LIKE FUCKING SPRINGHEELED JACK. LIFE COMPLETE.
- This Sherlock is a much more sexual being. You can tell from his skinny jeans.
- HAHA. SIKE. Sherlock just pwnd you, John.
- "I'm not his date." "...you aren't? D:"
- That "what day is it?" line should have stayed in. That was priceless.
- Sherlock has practiced that speech. You can see him trying to remember it.
- Sherlock's talking to himself is far too public; the tone of voice or volume needs to change.
- *sniff sniff* Is that ham, I smell? Why, no - that's Sherlock's acting.
- I like that John knows his shit more in this one.
- CABBIE, YOU PERVERT!
- Is John going to shoot someone on the carpet? Mrs Hudson won't be pleased at all.
- I like Benedict a lot, but he's shit at being drugged up to the eyeballs.
- Fact: in episode one, Sherlock was prepared to risk his life because he had nothing to live for; by episode three he was risking his life because he did have something to live for. How cute.
- Lestrade's face was adorable. "Got you, you cocky sod."
- "Quite right. I'm going to SNUGGLE YOU TO SLEEP."
- Aw, Lestrade's throwing away his evidence.
- Mrs Hudson is so their mother.


Over all, I was largely distracted by cupcake population explosions in my kitchen, but I... would have liked to cherry frosting pick some of the bits to include in the new version, but over all the one which made it to air was infinitely better.

I still love Bat-toff, though.
