Day 27 – A Story You Wish Had Been Adapted

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good fangirl (so far) this year.

I would really like a decent gaslight version of A Study in Scarlet.
You can skip or skim the Morman backstory if you wish.

Thanks,

Yes! And then he goes back to his room and NOT to bed. He is sitting up clutching a blanket, and grimacing as he tries to swallow his analgesic powder without water. Bleah!

Oh yes...oh you'll love the Russian EMPT...the scene where Holmes returns...:P

(see if you can spot a blooper in that scene when you watch it ;)

ohhhh... I am hating Russian!Lestrade!

[med_cat]

Haha, why? Oh and you know it's one actor playing Lestrade, but the voice is another actor's? Same for Moriarty! :P

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Why hate Russian!Lestrade? Because he suspected poor cute!Watson of the murder of Ronald Adair! That's why!

And the voicing of evil characters by separate actors has a long tradition. So, it should come to no surprise that Russian!Lestrade (who is evil in my books), and Moriarty (who is evil in everybody's books), follow in the great tradition of Darth Vader!

Haha! With Russian!Lestrade, it was 'cause the actor who plays him has a very strong Ukrainian accent, they said (although as Lestrade is speaking Russian, I don't know why it would've mattered...:P)

oh yes poor suspected Watson...the scene where Holmes comes back...you'll see what I mean--have you watched it yet?

And yes as to Moriarty, it was voiced by another actor who had a suitably sinister voice.

That's very interesting, didn't know abt the tradition ;) Looks of one actor and voice of another, eh?
