sdelmonteI finally saw the premiere of the new BBC Sherlock series.
I didn't care for it much. It has a lot going for it, but I did not like Sherlock himself at all. And I have other qualms as well.
From my brief research on the topic, I am the only person on Earth who didn't like it.
This is not the first time I was part of a small minority on such matters. And now I wonder if should either blog more about such matters, or poll my f-list to see who else has that one (or, in case, more than one) thing that just don't get.
That is all.

My eyes glaze over at discussion of the DC and Marvel superhero comics, and I go look at cat colouring charts instead (for example). I did read the graphic novel Madb took her version of Sir Nicholas from, because I was curious, but while the story itself was interesting and the artwork gorgeous, all the meta of all the charries being somebody else from the mainstream of superhero stories, and the fun in recognising how they'd been changed to fit the ideas of the time, went completely over my head.
That doesn't take away the fun my charries keep having with DC and Marvel characters in the bar since forever; but such are the special joys of Milliways.
