I have a friend who likes BBC Sherlock and she made a face when I said I was digging Elementary so I dropped it. I certainly haven't brought up how much I dislike BBC Sherlock or the people making it with her.
So yeah, I get you. I'm also seriously wishing I got a dollar for every time someone said 'I tried but it's just not BBC Sherlock,' (really, no shit, it's not supposed to be) 'But they made Watson a girl!' (they picked the best person who auditioned for the role and that happened to be Lucy Liu) 'it's not Sherlock, just a police procedural,' (it's an adaptation and a different take on the canon, of course it's not exactly the same as any previous one) and so on. I'd be rich within days.
Of course it's true, there's only one definitive Sherlock Holmes.
