We as Sherlock Holmes fan know what are his strengths and weakness. Moreover "Irene Norton nee Adler" was broached in Scandal of Bohemia. How can someone infer romantic connections from it, which on record "Elementary" did.<br /><br />Sir Arthur conan doyle himself was a surgeon so he wrote everything in such a meticulous way that no error can be found out especially "Sign of four", "Study in Scarlet", "House of Baskervilles". One still enjoys reading it because it carries the prolix way of writing which still has the painted strokes of Victorian era.<br /><br />Yes the BBC's Sherlock or Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson portrayed by Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke are worth applauding because they left appalling impact on viewers and did justice to Sherlock Holmes(Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)<br /><br />I really feel for People who have not read a single letter from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's corpses. All they've seen is Elementary and Judge him as stodgy,insipid person.pranavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002901555228739941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426830455075676436.post-3573355520453775722012-10-13T01:19:10.840-04:002012-10-13T01:19:10.840-04:00Thank you.

The BBC is a bit too "whovian" to be taken seriously. Mycroft appears in 3 canonical stories, as well as my little story The Aristotelian you can see in the side-bar.Steve Polinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095291939072131815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426830455075676436.post-48503210486972801462012-10-11T15:36:51.868-04:002012-10-11T15:36:51.868-04:00Hi Steve,
I just discovered your blog today when ...Hi Steve,<br /><br />I just discovered your blog today when you began following me on Twitter. <br /><br />What a delight to discover another Sherlockian or Holmes fan or whatever you prefer to be called. <br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the new Elementary. I began to gripe when I saw the first previews. Since I'm a fan of the TV versions and haven't read Doyle's originals, I'm not sure how Doyle would take this newest interpretation. But I suspect that he is making a couple of flips in his grave right about now. <br /><br />We have had to endure so many Sherlocks on TV and movies over the decades, and they keep stretching our patience. I loved Basil Rathbone, but see Jeremy Brett as the best ever Sherlock. I enjoyed Robert Downey, Jr and Jude Law because they were so entertaining, and tolerated Benedict Cumberbatch (his banter was entirely too slick and fast.)<br /><br />Like you, I'll watch the next episodes of Elementary, but not with great anticipation.<br /><br />I never knew much about Mycroft, so I'll have to roam around your site to learn what you've written about him. That promises to be fascinating.Flora Morris Brown, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08524826716924783544noreply@blogger.com
