I am already bracing myself for the inevitable Benedict’s character in Star Trek/John Watson slash :U
John Watson would kick some ASS on a starship. Can you imagine? Phasering bitches left and right, yo. Patching people up with Bones. Fussily making tea and sipping it while sitting next to Spock who has also fussily made his own tea and not speaking to each other.
I don’t know what character Benedict Cumberbatch (who I always try to refer to by both names because it is such a… righteous, in the bill & ted sort of way, name) is gonna play in the Trek movie. Does fandom know yet? I suspect I would know if other people did, it’s sort of impossible for me not to absorb such info. But I mean, regardless of who he plays he’s gonna get slashed up and down and every which way with everyone. John Watson being in ~space~ is perfectly normal and expected at this point.
What might be more interesting is his Trek character showing up on Baker Street or teaming up with Moriarty if he’s a villain. Or Sherlock showing up in ~space~! Surely even in the future there’s need for consulting detectives! Mycroft could be super high up in the Federation! Lestrade could be a Starfleet security muckity muck who pulls Sherlock, a staunch civilian and thorn in everyone’s side, into the thick of things! John Watson could be a retired Starfleet medical officer!
oh no i’m doing it again arent i….
