The others are mere pretenders to the throne.

I particularly like Martin Freeman, though Jude Law was pretty good in the movies. I haven't watched the American Sherlock show, so I have no opinion on Lucy Liu.

He's my second choice after.....

She wins none of the others still have their head alive in a jar in the year 3000.

I voted for Lucy Liu because i think her character is more interesting than the others. She gets in and actually solves crimes instead of just being a sounding board for Holmes.

That being said i think freeman plays it closer to the books. But he's a bit goofy for my liking.

OK, your better reasons are acceptable too.
This whole new take on Sherlock Holmes is an improvement on even the best of'm, ie, Jeremy Brett & David Burke.

I always liked the Jeopardy version more

Jude Law. I love Martin Freeman, and I've never seen Elementary, but Jude Law has always been my favorite Watson.

I like them all in my own way, although I haven't watched Elementary so much. I'm very passionate about the Sherlock Holmes interpretations, since I've read the original stories and love them. The movies come closest to the originals, but the characters in BBC's Sherlock are very faithful to their book counterparts. In the series the personality of Watson gets more spotlight than in the movie, and I really enjoy Martin Freeman's expressions as a form to express what the character of Watson doesn't talk about in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing. So, based on that I vote for Freeman, because he's the actor that for me tells the story of Watson to its truest.

I rather like Martin Freeman as Watson. Even if that came around from my friend forcing me to watch all 3 seasons of Sherlock.
