Question about Sherlock
OMG A POST ABOUT SHERLOCK. HOW SURPRISING.
I'm curious about the Pilot. Why does it exist? I haven't actually seen it, but I have seen screencaps and clips. From what I can gather it's the same basic plot as A Study in Pink, but with a much smaller budget (sets, clothes, poor Sherlock's flat hair), and characters that haven't really been rounded out yet.
1. Its existence: why?
2. Was there anything vastly different about it? Mycroft doesn't exist?
I'm not sure I've ever seen a show do this before. (Have they? Is this a BBC thing?) It's like they filmed the dress rehearsal, and the director thought it was all crap and changed everything. Maybe it's a good thing - the characters did seem to hit the ground running in Pink.
