BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » Hello from Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA!

veecee · June 11, 2012 9:36 pm

Hello,

I thought my fascination with Sherlock would wear off, but it's showing no sign of waning. So here I am. I agree with someone who joined just before me. I love the whole package: writing, acting, directing, costumes, scenery, music, cinemotagraphy, etc. And since I'm re-reading the original stories, I'm enjoying the nods to them even more. (Thanks to whoever started the thread about precise nods.) OK, I guess I also have to admit to a big crush on Sherlock and John.

My husband enjoys the program, too, but I don't think he wants to talk about it quite as much as I do. So thank you to the moderators and all the other members for this outlet.

A side note: The Michigan Theater here in Ann Arbor just showed both versions of the National Theatre production of Frankenstein -- one with Benedict Cumberbatch as the doctor and one with him as the monster. I wish I could have seen both, but I did catch the latter. Has anyone see it in person? And am I allowed to ask if my fellow Ann Arborite on this forum saw it here? (This is the first forum I have ever joined, so I don't know all the rules.)

Thanks, all!

Oh, so Ann Arbour is a place, I thought it was your name!!
I don't think there are any rules; you've just gotta be nice

Welcome, and how cool that you got to see Frankenstein!

Hah! It would be a good name.

It seems like just about everybody loves Molly Hooper, but what does Sherlock think of her?

Thank you.

The film of the live production was excellent, but I'd love to see it in person. I believe its run has ended, though. And I'm sure BC has moved on to another project. That's OK, as long as he makes time to do Sherlock.

Did I already say thank you? If not, I'm saying it now.
(I've got to get the hang of posting on this forum. I would not be much help to Sherlock with my present technological skills.)

And there you have a perfect introduction from Molly...

Welcome to a fellow North American!

Have fun, but be careful--there's a powerful vortex that will suck you right in if you get too close...

Anyway, I should have seen: You are under Sherlock's chair.

Thank you. Hope I'm not overdoing it. Coming late to the forum, I have a lot of pent-up enthusiasm.
