I confess that I covet your skull

[carmen_lj]

I've worked how why Sherlock's Mycroft irritates me so much: he reminds me of Braxiatel. Now I want to know, given the Master's origins, if Mycroft was in mind for Brax, especially with the later Gallifrey stuff.

I'm still a bit disappointed they didn't recast Lestrade or Moriarty as a woman. I was, very secretly and not hopefully, wishing for a female Moriarty. Mostly I hope they have Adler next season and I hope Moffat writes her. Given his rather nifty track record for intelligent, independent woman, I suspect I would LOVE HER LIKE PIE.

Actually, while I'm wishing for things: I'd also like to see their version of Hound of the Baskervilles cause it's not like there's been a proper awesome celluloid version of that ever (though I am terribly find of one of the Cushing ones) and five hundredth time's a charm, possibly.

On a completely different note, I hate the expression "the question is..." This is entirely DS9's fault. It's like "going straight to hell" in Babylon 5. You do not buy phrases in job lots, goodness sake.

I was hoping for a female Moriarty as well. Alas, I have no Sherlock Holmes related icons at all.

Yah, I was almost expecting a lady Moriarty. Actual Moriarty was a disappointment. Mycroft was scarier.

I stand by my fanon that this "Moriarty" wasn't the real one.

"I hope they have Adler next season."

YES. :-D

Damn, if Moffat does write Adler next season, I might actually have to watch yet another show. (And if I don't like her in that version, I will have to hate Teh Moff forever and ever!)

Wait, there was a Cushing Baskervilles?!?

*must find*

In my brain, the Moriarty that we saw was a front for the real Moriarty, who's been pulling one over on everyone since episode one: Molly Hooper.

The Hammer Films Hound of the Baskervilles will forever hold a special place in my heart, if only for the fact that it contains the line, "Would it help if I said I was fighting evil?"

I ... think he was? But I don't remember how I know that, or maybe it's just something I made up in my head because I love creepy older brothers.

As was I, so, so terribly. It would have redeemed a lot of the series's flaws for me - not all of them, but oh, I would have been the HAPPIEST GIRL EVER.

YES PLS YES PLS YES PLEEEEASE. Santa, I have been a VERY good girl this year :-D

OF COURSE HE DOES THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF BRAXIATEL

i am pretty sure both simon and gary confirmed this. i forget. i'm almost 100% on simon saying so at chiTARDIS in 2008, though.

I've always been pretty fond of the Wishbone condensed adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles.

I was so hoping for a female Lestrade, so, so, so hoping. It's a good thing I like Rupert Graves so much. And Mycroft as Brax=me loling forever. I will never unsee it now. Mycroft has a pocket watch and sometimes Romana comes and visits him to make sure he's still alive and then pops off again to have the sex with Leela and be the HBIC she is.
