Okay

So I'm bored and temporarily unable to get to my TV and DVD player (damn!)

I have being watching my new DVDs though, which is all very exciting and squee worthy.

I have actually seen all these episodes before, but now I can watch them on a big screen and in a comfy chair and I can sit there with drinks and snacks! It is all amazing.

Vasily Livanov is very sexy and I love his voice like whoa! And I totally want to marry his Holmes because that would be the best thing ever! And Vitaly Solomin is sooo Watson and I love him a lot too. Just the fact that he is so suspicious of Holmes at first and then he challenges him to a boxing match and Mrs Hudson has some sherry waiting for him for when he gets beaten and I love Mrs Hudson too.

And The King of Blackmail...oh just brilliant. Just the Russian pronunciation alone - Meeel-verrr-tonn. And their shoddy attempt at burglary where almost everything goes wrong!

And then the...the one that's the Final Problem, whatever the Russian ep is called. Oh my God, totally a nightmare-inducing Moriarty who is all kinds of creepy! He's like a human spider *shudders*

But the fight at Reichenbach is brilliant, much better than Granada's I think. There is actual fighting and I love it so very much because I am a bit shallow for men in ripped clothes. Oh and so touching. Don't cry Watson.

Ahem, have I mentioned that I'm rather fond of this series?


On a more Granada-y note, behind the cut is a .gif that totally validates my second favourite ship.

Seriously, all that's missing is Holmes saying "darling!"

I love the Russian series, and agree that the fight scene was better than Granada's.

*stares at gif* JB!Holmes and CJ!Lestrade, oh yeah. Watson does not look too pleased either. That clip has mesmorized me, I can't stop looking at it.

Oh I know, I try not to look at it now, just so I don't get caught up watching it. They're so pretty pretty!

You're right, Watson clearly doesn't look happy. although in my personal canon Watson has no idea about Holmes's and Lestrade's "history"

My H/L shipping doesn't really extend much past Granada but then I do love JB and CJ very much!
