With all due respect to Amy Davidson, I fear all I can do is give her the sideways eyebrow raise and say, "Uh, yeah. You're a couple years behind the times, darlin'." Ah well. At least word is getting out to the public at large that Watson is a veteran in his own right.

. . . does anyone else have this fantasy? -- the movie opens with scenes from that Battle of Maiwand, dust and sand and gunfire and a painfully young Watson in the dark blue uniform of a medic with the red cross armband on his left sleeve. *drools at the thought*

Don't think we'll see it, but heaven knows I'd love it in a flashback. Maybe we can nudge the idea at them for the sequels?

Oh man, that would be AMAZING!
