It occurred to me that I obviously *can't* be in the minority in Sherlock fandom broadly, given the level of Cumberbatch-driven hysteria in the fandom.
I'm interested, academically, in the way that new iterations of a thing can introduce new people to it over, and over, and thus keep Holmes immortal.
OMG, YES. That's one of the things I love about Sherlock as a fandom, how it has all these other universes to be tied to, how it belongs to something bigger. I don't have the same feelings about the rest of the world, but it's a great element of it. (I did some weird moping about this around the time of the beginning of the Elementary squee here--I still haven't managed to watch Elementary, but I'm hoping to get around to it at some point when my ~~feels~~ calm down.)
