ArgumentatumE.C.T. posted:Wasn't Watson perfectly capable in the books, and he just did lots of boring stuff that the reader didn't need to be occupied with and the rest of the time was the POV character for Sherlock figuring poo poo out? Like, Watson was never the little bitch in the books that he always is in all the film stuff. Most of the time you forgot he was even a character, he was more like a journalist. Getting loving shot at when poo poo went down and never getting congratulated for it, etc. Yes, that always annoyed me: in the Rathbone films, he was a silly old duffer, but in the books, he was quite the man: Not only was he an army veteran, but he was a good doctor and built up a very successful practice and Holmes mentions his respect for his medical skills on more than one occasion. And a ladies man: not only did he marry a hottie, but Holmes refers to his skills with the ladies 'drat Watson, you da pussyhound and them bitches be wet when dey see you' Finally, dude was stacked: 'strongly-built man—square jaw, thick neck, moustache' and he wasn't afraid to throw down with a streetfighter

lol but seriously I posted:Anyway, we're all agreed that Jeremy Brett is the ultimate TV Holmes? Definitely. He makes him intense, but without having to say 'high functioning sociopath' every 20 mins. The adaptation of the plots are very good too - most of the episodes are solid, even when the source material is a little flakey (monkey glands)
