Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed the movie more than you'd expected. And yes, I think an AU reading of the film is quite appropriate since there's a definite Steampunk vibe to it, particularly Blackwood's secret weapon.
Yes, the Steampunk vibe certainly lends to that AU feeling of the film. I liked the look of Blackwood's secret weapon, though the way it worked seemed about as convoluted as the film's plot. *g*
I hadn't remembered the bull pup from canon, but I loved Gladstone. I particularly liked Mrs. Hudson's exasperated line, "He's killed the dog... again."
Gladstone was absolutely adorable. And it seemed so typical of Holmes to test certain theories by experimenting on him. I also thought it was funny when Holmes and Watson argued over who Gladstone belonged to.
