So, thanks to ageofzero I actually looked up and watched the first episode of “Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century” because I’ve never seen it (it’s on youtube).
Thoughts so far:
- I appreciate that Lestrade is a chick (standard badass hot lady cop of course)
- Why the hell isn’t her first name a G? Who decided it should be Beth?
- The opening Reichenbach scene was cheesetastic
- The cyborg’s name is Watson but it’s not yet looking like him, but I know it’s coming, bowler hat and all.
- Reading John Watson’s secret diaries (which have been apparently passed down by the Lestrades) is what turned the robot into Watson. Oh dear.
- I’m amused that both Holmes and Moriarty are running around in their Victorian garb and that for the most part Holmes is taking everything in stride.
- Sherlock Holmes was apparently preserved in honey.
- Sherlock Holmes looks like a weird, blonde, animated version of David Tennant and it’s throwing me off.
- I kinda want to know more about this society. Brainwashing crime away? Everyone’s DNA is on file? There’s still a Sherlock Holmes museum?
