He’s just a neat dude, that Lestrade.

what do you think of the rathbone version of lestrade? He’s very different from the Granada adaptation and the books, and I’d like to hear your opinion on him!!

HELLO! Sorry I didn’t see this before… I’m so glad you asked because I do have opinions as a Number 1 Lestrade lover….

I have a hard time ranking which Lestrade I like more, because I love both Rathbone and Granada Lestrade for different reasons.

Granada Lestrade is *the* Lestrade for me. He’s the one I picture when reading the books, both in appearance and personality. However, that’s the case for most Granada depictions; they just get it right! He’s not entirely incompetent, and his follies don’t come from a lack of intelligence; rather, his own ego and self-assuredness lends itself to obtuse conclusions. It reinforces the idea that Sherlock’s own observational skills are not superpowers; rather, his power of deduction is a learned and practiced skill which is available to anyone who is willing to learn. And we do see Lestrade picking up and cultivating these skills later down the line!

I think this personification can also be applied to Rathbone Lestrade, though I feel it can come at the expense of Watson. A major issue I have with the Rathbone films is that Bruce Watson is played primarily to heighten the intelligence of other characters. Still, I do like Lestrade’s personality, and that his ego isn’t washed away.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!! Inspector G. Lestrade my utmost beloved 🫶

"“Thank you!” said Holmes. “Thank you!” and as he turned away it seemed to me that he was more nearly moved by the softer human emotions than I had ever seen him."

my favourite thing about media that has many reiterations is that i can take people's headcannons from one and see how they'd apply to another. they don't usually fare well, but that's the fun part. for example, bbc sherlock's mycroft/lestrade ship but it's these two

that is absolutely bonkers
