As you may have noticed (owing to our frequent interrupting of grumblebox convos) we now have a vague Twitter presence, in the form of a lethargically-manned Vintage Big Bang account, here;

Other than making dubiously authentic Silent Film cards, and sending them to Kevin Sussman (who was apparently appreciative), we are doing bugger all with it at present.

This may change. "May" being the operative word there. In the meantime, those without Twatter accounts can enjoy the spectacle HERE. The aesthetically pleasing, professional looking ones are done by our Design Chief, PJ, and the shitey, McPaint cut-and-paste jobs are done by Gripe.
Please feel free to make your own! PLEASE! For the love of...
Also, any thoughts for future cards would be most welcome.











There are more, but I haven't uploaded the blighters.

Being a ruthlessly antiquated bastard/bluff-old-traditionalist, I avoided the modern BBC version of Sherlock for a hideous length of time. Particularly when the only bit I'd seen of it was Watson with a Mac.
So I've finally watched it, and obviously am massively, pathetically taken by it, like any rational, aesthetically-minded person would be.
Rathbone is still the master Holmes, as far as I'm concerned, but Cumberbatch is a VERY close second, and that's bloody saying something.
Freeman is easily my favourite Watson thus far...He's generally, in the past, been portrayed as a bumbling idiot. Loyal, but with the intelligence and personality of a pot of paint. So Freeman's long-suffering snarkiness and general aura of gloom works brilliantly against Holmes' obliviousness.
They're all wonderful acting choices, actually. Except Molly. I don't understand that at all.

Anyroad.

This thread is for anything even vaguely Sherlock related, and any incarnation thereof. Of course it will shortly fill up with Space's theories about Season 4, but that's also partially why I created it.

This is a good example for anyone who hasn't seen the modern version.




The original Sidney Paget illustrations. I've got the whole book, and in MOST of them, Holmes is just lolling about like a tit, smoking. It's very lethargy-inducing to look at.




SOMETIMES he gets up...

I thought we could use this thread for new season news...

As we all know the writers don't have a plan until very close to the beginning of each episode but here we have Morelo delivering the stomach churning news of more marriage proposals in Season 8.

Nice typo where they call Penny - Peggy but if this is foreshadowing Sheldon asking the manipulative wench to marry him, they can stick S8 where the sun don't shine. I'll be staying put in VINTAGE BB thank you very much...
