indecision

I'm also under the general impression that Sherlock Holmes was actually the original version of the type (or at least one of them?) and not vice versa - howevers has been years and years and years since I last read one of the books.

But, also, gatefiction & I saw the movie when I was in Sthlm, and the, I think, third thing we said after leaving the theatre (one and two having been: (1) well, that was pretty fun, (2) eek with the violence! (because we're both squeamish girls and had to look away a lot)), was, (3) hey, it wasn't really all that slashy! Of course it was sort of slashy, but still, not as very so as fandom let on, maybe? But then I'm one of the people who often feel that a movie's very clear self-awareness of slashiness mostly tends to contain and, err, limit the slashiness! maybe! - and also the fourth thing we said (or I said) was (4) "Can the sequel be about Holmes and Watson and Mary and Irene all living together and fighting crime or baking cookies or filling in cross-words forever please?" so who knows. Err, what I'm trying to say is, I agree, I think.
