OMG!!! Total success! Just tonight I started watching ASiP with one of my friends, and she loved it so much that we're watching all of them tonight! We're watching THoB right now, and it is 5:02 in the morning!! She is loving it so much, and she ships John and Sherlock together too. Another complete success!!!!! ;)

Woot woot! Awesome!  Time for some celebratory pie! 

I remember the first time I watched ASiP...I was watching with someone, who also hadn't seen any of the BBC Sherlock before like me, and then when ASiP ended...there were a few moments of silence (except for the sounds of the menu music), I was speechless, and then the person I was with turned to me and said "Well come on! Let's watch the next one!". Hehe

One of my co-workers just finished watching!   Am especially proud because this is a male co-worker who has enjoyed teasing me about my obsession with BC/Sherlock.  He said he only watched the first episode out of curiousity and couldn't believe how good it was.  He also said he has to admit BC is a fantastic actor.

Last night he watced TRF.  When he came in this morning he just walked up to my desk and said "Damn you."      

*high five* 


 

Update:  My co-worker has now converted his brother!!!!!   Our numbers grow!
 

A while ago I gave S1 to a my colleague and neighbour.
He still didn't have time to watch it. But today he told me, his son, sick in bed, watched ep. 1 and 2 on his own and told him it was great! He's 14. 
I told my colleague there is nothing better when you are sick at home....

I went to my neighbour's this afternoon to collect my kids who were over there playing with their boy, and ended up having a conversation with the father about Sherlock. He watched TEH for the first time (he had watched the first two series when they were last on tv, on my recommendation) and quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately his wife, who I chat with occasionally, hates the show, and says she just wants to slap Sherlock. Anyway, it was great to be able to have a (brief) "real life" discussion with someone about Sherlock, but I had to be really careful not to give away spoilers! He asked me if Moriarty was still alive and I said "I can't tell you!" He also mentioned the scene showing the Houses of Parliament blowing up, saying that at the time he was confused whether it was happening of not. I told him that it was Sherlock imagining what would happen, and that the mind palace would feature strongly in the next couple of episodes and the special. I told him he would have to pay close attention to work out what is real and what is mp - I hope I didn't give anything away!

I have failed with my wife but I'm attempting to convert my friend who likes Doctor Who and puzzles.

Just today I got my cousin to come over and watch S1. He said he quite enjoyed it. We're doing S2 tomorrow and S3 and the special the day after. It's really entertaining to watch people you know get attached to the same things you do.

I tried to convert my parents, but it wasn't really anything either of them could get into. Oh, well. I guess Sherlock's just not for everyone.

Yet she has the right name!

Sweet.
