I voted yes, but it is dependent on the circumstances. I love the show itself- the script, the camerawork, everything. As others said, if, from the beginning Sherlock was not Benedict, I would still develop the same interest. However, I would be disappointed if he was replaced with another actor now, simply because I enjoy his portrayal, how well he and Martin Freeman work together, and I am already accustomed to it. If the actor was talented and fitting for the role, I would be satisfied, yet slightly disappointed until I watched a few episodes/ became used to the new actor as Sherlock.

I stated that I was going to work on Sherlock art while I was gone, but the time flew and I hardly got around to it. Instead, I did a little sketch of Sherlock when he was holding his violin:






It's mediocre and I didn't bother to change the settings on my camera so that it does no't appear blue, but I thought I would share. I want to do a large, finished fan art when I have more time.

Can you tell that I dislike sketching hair? Particularly curly hair. It's so tedious. Benedict's face is fun to draw because of his bone structure.

Also, I am still perfecting an extended version of Irene's theme. It will all be done much faster, as soon as I finish academic work that is due shortly.

Not that anybody missed/will miss this lurker, but my power was unexpectedly out for several days. I am back, but I am leaving tomorrow for a week to a place where there is no service- no internet, television, cell phones, etc. However, I may be able to bribe someone into driving me to a wi-fi spot at some point.

Bah. I just realized that this shall also interrupt watching Sherlock again...I will simply make up for it when I return! Plus, I can bring my art supplies and do some fanart, which I was already planning, and work on a version of Irene's theme on the violin. I play by ear, but I still need to improve my speed and fluidity with the song.

Warning: watching it the second time is very different. That said, welcome to the forum.

How so? Now I am curious. I plan to begin re-watching today.

Sherlock- Thank you. I noticed that thread, and I intend to post there at some point. : )

Thank you, Milkomeda. I appreciate your signature.I made an offhand Schrödinger's cat joke not long ago, but the comedic effect was sadly lost on them, hah.

Thank you for the welcomes.

Hah, nice logic, Hepzibah.

Sherlockskitty- agreed; some is fine, if one uses common sense and caution. I don't have a facebook or similar site account, and I am unused to leaving lurkdom (the word is certainly being added to my dictionary,) but I am sure I'll become more accustomed to this eventually.

I will enjoy posting here greatly. I am about to rewatch Sherlock- the first time, I allowed myself to be dazzled by its brilliance without thinking too much, so I probably missed some of it. I believe Sherlock is something that will get better each time I watch it again.

Not in general- just mine.

I only intended to post once or twice; I'm a lurker. However, as a new addition to the BBC Sherlock fan forum (and BBC Sherlock itself) whose interest is only catching fire rather than waning, I will likely be here to stay, thus, a greeting is in order. 

All of the members here appear very intelligent and friendly, and it is a pleasure to meet everyone! Virtual coffee or tea? -raises pot.-

I considered posting some biographical statements, as is customary for an introduction, but I'm not particularly interesting. Perhaps another time?

I possess a few of these qualities: violin playing, caffeine-loading, meal-skipping, science-obsessed, asexual, martial artist and chronic insomniac. Beware, the social aspect is an inevitable result. (I was essentially friendless, until a Watson came along and attached himself to me, undeterred.)

Hah, Mycrofting...brilliant. Although I doubt one could maintain this as a lifestyle change through sheer determination, so there is little to worry about.

I apologize for resurrecting this thread. Hopefully there is not a rule against zombie threads.

We lurkers can rarely be persuaded to crawl out of our hidey-hole.
Now I shall retreat.
