I'm glad I'm not standing out there all by myself, and glad my thoughts made some sort of sense to you.
It feels almost as if there were a missing series,
Yes. Exactly. I would love to have seen that series, and I think that Moffat and Gatiss could have done it, although I think they would have had to veer from the practice of reimagining Doyle's stories in order to do so.
I can't help but wonder if the reason this doesn't bother me as much as it should is because I've read that 'missing series' over and over again in unholy crap tons of Sherlock fan fiction.
Perhaps I should read more of it; I have no doubt that there's good fic out there, because I've read one or two by excellent authors - but again, I have not been invested enough, emotionally, to want to. It's a bit of a Catch-22.
Fandom: Messing with my head since 2007.
Heh. Piker ... I've been in fandom (not title or series-specific, mind you, generalized Old Skool Skiffy fandom) actively since 1977 and unknowingly since 1961. Imagine what the inside of my head looks like and how old I am.
