I've always thought Whishaw and Cumberbatch looked alike. I've even mistaken them for each other when glancing past photos.
This might get even more so if Cumberbatch ends up being the next Bond villain as per the rumors. They'll need to keep his hair it's normal gingery color or else I really won't be able to stop myself from thinking the Bond Villain is somehow related to Q.
I like the idea of three laconic brothers, badass in their own ways, helping each other out of the ridiculous situations they get themselves into, and not even letting on that they care about each other. They just quietly save each other's arses, which means 'I care' in Holmes.
There have been fics out there where Q tries to figure out if Sherlock really did jump off that building and where Sherlock and Mycroft get involved in MI6's business. They've ranged from Awesome! to Okay Now You're Just Making Things Ridiculous.
I have to find a suitably Holmesian name for Q, though. I know 'Sherrinford' is the popular one, but that always seemed too close to Sherlock for my liking.
Wasn't Sherrinford the original name of Sherlock Holmes before ACD decided against it? I could be making that up.
