Re: Wasted Potential

[dreemyweird]

Sherlock and Elementary. Sherlock is simply nothing but wasted potential. So is a large chunk of Elementary. There are so many things about a modern SH AU that could be amazing - how would the criminals' motives change? What about the symbolic justice of the canonical stories - would it disappear? Transform? Etc., etc.

But no. It's all Wingardium Levibullshit instead.

Re: Wasted Potential

[(Anonymous)]

I really loved the first episode of the first series of Sherlock. Then it got to be uneven and S3 was just not what I wanted or expected at all. A lot of people seemed to enjoy it though; more power to them. I just wish I could.

Re: Wasted Potential

I haven't watched Elementary at all, but I completely agree about Sherlock. And the thing that really rankles is the fact that the first episode was actually kind of decent, but then the second episode was...what?

Re: Wasted Potential

[dreemyweird]

IA with you and the anon above, too. The first episode was promising - I remember being very enthusiastic about it. Told all my friends about this new and exciting Sherlock Holmes thing *sighs*

I've no patience for Elementary's take on Moriarty (boo evil villain who can do everything and takes up 500% of plotlines!). And Holmes being in love with Irene - meh. I'm still waiting for a modern adaptation with an actually aromantic-asexual Holmes. But no, apparently it's "boring".

Re: Wasted Potential

[a_potato]

Oh, I feel you there. I really, really, do not like the idea of Holmes being in love with Irene Adler. He respects and admires her because she beat him -- that doesn't mean he's interested in her. It's as if people can't fathom a man admiring a woman without also wanting her, which is incredibly frustrating.

And the whole "boring" thing is so much BS, because goodness, romance isn't the only thing in fiction that's interesting!

Re: Wasted Potential

Elementary is just too long and same-y. I liked Mycroft though. And Joan was interesting.

Re: Wasted Potential

[dreemyweird]

Oh, Joan was awesome at first. And I was interested in Mycroft. But then everything became a trainwreck. I think Joan sleeping with Mycroft was the moment when I noped out - that, or the return of Moriarty. (seriously, stop. ACD canon consists almost entirely of small cases. That is the POINT).

But yeahh the cases kind of lacked... conceptual diversity, for the lack of a better term.

Re: Wasted Potential

[solticisekf]

It was an ill thought out move from the creators. -/ I watched the series on and off, so it didn't make me quit, but, yeah.

I like this term! Very fitting.
