I just had a look andf it said TB, so it hasn't been said yet. Have you seen the newest movie? that was the best sherlock movie i have seen.

Yes I have, actually! I think it was very good; Robert Downey Jr. was a great Holmes and Jude Law a great Watson. The storyline was gripping, a lot of the lines/scenes were classic and quite memorable. It was done pretty well, in my opinion, but I have to admit to liking BBC Sherlock better. That's just me though.

I think the guy who plays sherlock in the modern one9doctor who guy who i forget the name of) suits sherlocks character better. I think i might buy the 3 episodes on DVD. There has been so many adaptions to sherlock holmes it isn't funny. lol

Ooooh... being gone on a week long camping trip made me miss the opening on this SF, but I'm glad I didn't miss it entirely!

I love this show! I live in America, so I didn't see it until it aired on PBS during "Masterpiece Mystery". My older sister loves murder mysteries, so she is always watching Masterpiece Mystery specials; I, on the other hand, only watch a few of them here and there (I'm a mystery fan, but not as much as her). However I made sure to see "A Study In Pink" partly because I was interested in seeing a modern Sherlock and partly because I wanted to see more of Martin Freeman, who had recently been announced as cast as Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit. (WAIT, don't get sidetracked onto THAT... )

Anyway, I loved the first episode, and the other two as well. I think my favorite would be The Blind Banker, though it's hard to choose. I must say, Moriarty was totally different than I expected him to be.

Probably my favorite part was when Watson tells Sherlock that he met "his arch enemy" and that he turned down an offer to spy on Sherlock for pay, and Sherlock responds, "Pity, we could have split the money. Think it through next time, will you?"

That's one of my favorite lines too! By the way, welcome to the club of Sherlock lovers!

It seems like many narnia fans are also sherlock fans, Has anyone actually read the books? they are really old so the language in them is possibly hard to understand, is their any modern versions of the books, that don't have old english words?

I've actually been reading the books lately. I love them, they're classic! It's great to see how BBC adapted some of the stories and made them modern to fit the 21st century. As for modern versions of the books...the only thing I can think of that might work is the Annotated version, which gives you little notes to tell you what those old english words mean. That's all I can think of at the present, though.

^That's so cool that you're reading them! Which parts of the BBC version are from the books?

Legal place to watch...

Or if you subscribe to Netflix, you can rent it.

Thanks so much, stateofgreen! I'll be sure to look into it!

I might try but i will need a dictonairy near me at all times.

Well, A Study in Pink (as well as Great Game in some spots) is loosely based on the story, A Study in Scarlet. It's quite entertaining to read!

*Edit*

And the Sign of Four, too. That one has some parts that were in Sherlock.

^What's was in "The Sign of Four"?

A friend of mine & I just watched A Study in Pink together (it was her first time), & she really liked it! It's always confusing when you first see it, & it's kinda hard to hear Sherlock sometimes, but she got most of the humor & all. I'm stoked!

^ Haha! Ive seen 'A Study In Pink' like ten times now, I got every word down that Sherlock says in that cab scene with Watson. It took till the third veiwing to get everything he was saying.

Well, there were a couple of quotes that were used/adapted to fit the more modern times for the TV show. If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to do a little comparison chart between lines in the books and how they're used in the shows.

That'd be awesome!

Haha! Yeah, I've watched it so many times, & i still don't understand everything. Like, when did Watson say that he "trained at Bart"? And how would Sherlock know that that meant he was an army doctor?
