Regardless of how the show will turn out, at least we can already be sure that the costumes are superb.

Okay, this is getting me pretty excited about the show, NGL.

I've been skeptical, but Lucy Liu, well, all right! What city is it set in? NY?

[liesmiths.livejournal.com]

Yup! Probably because it's still the most London-y city in the USA.

But how is she going to chase him through the streets of New York in those heels?

Considering what Kate Beckett wears in Castle, those are practically flats...

[ihatemangoes.livejournal.com]

haha, true dat. i was just thinking that in castle she always has heels on and still gives vigorous chase

[mistyzeo.livejournal.com]

XD Absolutely true.

Well, I'm digging her outfit. Love all that drapey, asymmetrical stuff.

So exciting!

I love how Holmes appears to be trying to show Watson something on his phone, and she's not looking at it. I imagine this is a scene where Holmes is explaining on and on about the unbelievable complexities of a case and she's mildly humoring him except not in the way that Watsons do. But that's my imagination running away with me. I hope this show is great.

I didn't even notice this the first time but now that you've pointed it out, yes, totally.
It really gives me hope that she won't be the typical adoring female sidekick but our typical slightly exasperated Watson.

[kylara.livejournal.com]

Yes, exasperated Watson, exactly! I think Lucy Liu would be great at doing exasperated. And JLM!Holmes has the potential to be adorable. I really want to see this show.

FILL: Chasing - based on the above photos with no other information.

"And as you can see by the dirt smudge on the pen he is clearly a -"

He went on and on. Not stopping. Motor mouth her Mom would've called it, and with the excitement of a small child in a sense. Glancing over at him with his five o'clock shadows and scruffy hair she knew she was not going to let Mom know what she was doing now: looking after a brilliant but narcotic English men who despite the adorable accent was bat shit insane instead of ... well it didn't matter anyway. This was all she has currently: fast-talking insane Englishman. Was he ever going to stop? Probably not, he was still a bit shaky and if this kept him clean - oh - and now he was looking at something on his phone, scrolling rapidly.

She had only wanted to get some bloody milk, not end up at a crime scene, be dragged to various office buildings ...

"Watson!"

He grabbed her shoulder, stopping her abruptly, spinning her to face him, his eyes bright.

"I know who did it - the bank clerk clearly - oh like you would have any idea - we don't have time!"

And with that he ran off.

She couldn't help but sigh, struggling to hide the hint of a grin that threatened to take over, chasing after him.

Oh wow, we've got comment fic already and the comm isn't even two weeks old.
And a marvellous one at that! I love her characterisation of him and how he behaves like an excited 5 year old on sugar, s'lovely. (:

THESE ARE EXCITING TIMES WE LIFE IN! <3

I'm even getting headcanon ... in BBCSherlock, Sherlock is ice, pure ice. John is like the flame. In this version I see Holmes as being the fire - destructive and sparking in different directions, while Watson is more reserved - like ice. Yeah, elemental reversal me so original. I'm not even sure if that makes sense but it does in my mind.

[liesmiths.livejournal.com]

Actually, judging from the pictures and the spoiler that was posted recently, that makes total sense. In my head Holmes is a bit like an overexcited puppy looking for approval while Watson is the indulging owner that goes "yes, yes" absent-mindedly most of the time but secretly adores him.

+1 I'm really excited for this
