It's kind of scary, actually

I haven't watched the (relatively) new Sherlock, in part because I find the idea of an out-of-period remake irritating (why??  What on earth moves people to do that?).  So I don't know much about it.  

But I looked it up tonight and am absolutely boggled that fandom has exploded over a show that's only had six episodes.  Are they double-length or some such?  Even Firefly took fourteen.

I haven't watched it, although I can get it streaming from Netflix, mainly because I'm kinda not fond of temporal AU-ness generally (this is why I'm not attracted to, say, Trek fic set in the Civil War era or what have you). I also, sorry folks! don't see why everyone is ga-ga over Benedict Cumberbatch. He must be a good actor (see also War Horse and, oh yeah, that upcoming Star Trek movie) and he seems a decent chap, but otherwise, meh.

There is a charming, very Brettish interview with him and Tom Hiddleston at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAkLfrlVmCQ

I haven't seen him in anything, so I don't know--but I do like the other guy, who was surprisingly decent in the HHGTTG movie.
