The world turned toward morning

So I may actually do all three of your requests, darling. Because YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL.

First up: all new interpretation of a female Holmesian adaptation! I’m really, really fond of the entire concept of modern-day Holmes for a variety of reasons, so let’s jump on that bandwagon. We have Indira Varma as Holmes, which I cannot take credit for as fancasts go; whoever decided she would work is a genius, though. She has the ability to play ‘sharp’ and I think that’s what I’d want this Holmes to be- sharp, and very capable of cruelty without being herself a really cruel person, and definitely somebody looking from the outside in when it comes to the rest of the world. Prone to mood swings and forgetting how to function in day to day life and all that stuff from the original canon.

Angel Coulby, again not my fancast (this was an Elementary fancast with Liu as Holmes IIRC) but oh my goodness, I LOVE THIS IDEA. She’d be a very firm, down to Earth but by no means dull Watson IMO and I think she’d just be marvellous. I’d sort of see her as a Watson who was a mediator between Holmes and everyone else- not as normal as people expect her to be, not as much of an oddity as Holmes.

Then, and this is probably a fancast everyone will scratch their head at, Catherine Tate as Lestrade. I don’t know, I just think it fits; I think she could play a female Lestrade off with a good balance of humour and actual competence, and also I really like Tate. I’d definitely want her to be someone competent, but very much restricted in a way Holmes isn’t, and maybe the tiniest bit envious of that but too principled to let go of due process like Holmes does.

Finally, Alex Kingston as Irene Adler, my original wish for her casting in Sherlock. Because I love the idea of a slightly older Irene, I love the idea of someone as funny and flirty and fun as Kingston, I love the whole concept. Irene should be someone who approaches everything with her all but who keeps a little part of herself aside to analyse every situation carefully, and who has a flair for the dramatic.

Bang bang. He shot me down
