Day 11 – Your Favorite Adaptation

I enjoy watching and comparing the various adaptations of The Hound of the Baskervilles.  Each interpretation brings something new.  Then I like comparing them to the canon story.

Of course the 2002 Hound with Ian Hart is a favourite. Here are the usual reasons:

• mentally and physically capable Watson
• super-BAMF Watson
• billiards sharp Watson

Other bits of fun:

• Dr Mortimer makes me smirk (I liked Granada Mortimer better. He was closer to canon)
• Low budget CGI hell-hound (nice try, but seriously, Daleks are scarier, and I mean Tom Baker Daleks)
• Stapleton... oh yes, he is deliciously EVIL (so smarmy, so ingratiating, so bogged-down)
