I didn't guess it was the cabbie either when I saw the unaired pilot. But, as I watched the unaired pilot, then immediately watched the first episode,I feel as if I cannot fairly compare them.
And I did find it interesting that the serial killer wanted to show off, to mean something, to be someone instead of just a normal, quiet, cabbie, in the unaired pilot. I didn't recall that that wasn't the case in the aired pilot.
ALSO, it had FakeDrunk!Sherlock and ReallyDrugged!Sherlock, both of whom I absolutely adored,
Sherlock explaining that he was married to his work, yet flattered by John's interest, was completely charming and believable.
Agreed and agreed. :)
In the end, I don't think I noticed the differences between the two versions of the episodes so much as the similarities, but I do understand a preference.
