mightymadsI should be writing the Star Trek WIP but it doesn’t cooperate. Instead, binge-watching old Russian Holmes, giffing, etc. I want to finish my Kirk/Spock WIP because I’d hate to leave them hanging. They are too dear to me for that. Besides, I promised myself that after that I could proceed with ACD stuff again.
A comment on the margin about RL: the lockdown period having been extended until the end of April, I’ve no slightest idea how I’m going to do job hunting, so I prefer not to think of it at all XD

As for the Hound, it used to be hard for me to watch it after experiencing other adaptations. But recently I enjoyed it! Keeping in mind not to take it seriously helped :) It seems like they approached it with a similar goofy spirit Howard!Holmes has. Definitely not scary and gothic as the novel is, but very fun nonetheless!

The Bloody Inscription is an excellent episode, and I am glad that the Mormon part is compressed :O Competent!Watson is always a joy.
Ha, oh yes, not taking Hound seriously does help. I do enjoy how Watson&Holmes are in the episode as well plus Dr Mortimer. (You mentioned Howard!Holmes. I do wish that we had a Hound version for both Howard!Holmes and Whitehead!Holmes.)

I hope too for another Victorian Holmes adaptation which would be superb and covered the episodes which haven’t been adapted for screen before. And if it were as queer as Granada or even bolder, my god, fandom would go crazy!
Competent Watson is my jam. Also, agreed Lenfilm!Dr. Mortimer is great, A+ casting.
