I was and still am absolutely delighted that they didn't try to do up some bullshit ~*origin story*~ where Holmes and Watson meet for the first time, have a rocky start, but then learn how to be best bros

oldpainless posted:Holmes in the original stories was a cocaine using bare knuckle boxer who was smarter than everyone else and also stronger than pretty much everyone else. They weren’t so much detective stories where you could figure out the whodunnit so much as you inhabiting Watson’s body while this bad rear end motherfucker made you feel like a stupid moron who was unable to accomplish the most menial tasks. Most stories went with Holmes telling Watson to stay in the apartment and Holmes coming back 4 days later saying he had solved it and beat up 6 dudes and also he hosed your wife twice breakfast tomorrow at 8 Watson? You don't need to recite excerpts from your fantasy journals here, I have already read all of the entries anyway

Isn't that the episode where everyone is like "you look very out of place Geordi" and he's like "oh because of my visor I guess" and the other characters are like "Uhhh yeah let's go with that"

I like the insane later stories, like the one where an old guy falls in love with a young lady and is insecure about how old he is. He takes weird experimental medicine made from monkey brains that hijacks his brain and make him temporarily act like a monkey, so he's clambering up the walls of his mansion at night and poking his dog with sticks until it attacks him. Or the one where they're investigating vampires, and the lady is actually sucking blood from her child but it's because the other child keeps trying to poison the younger child and the wife doesn't want to hurt her new husband by revealing that his kid is a weird psychopath, so she sucks the poison out. He killed off Holmes because he was tired of writing Holmes stories and wanted to write historical stuff instead. Then it turned out that didn't sell very well and everyone just wanted him to write more Holmes stories, so he resurrected Holmes but clearly just didn't give as much of a poo poo anymore. The later stories just kept getting more bizarre, and Holmes became more and more ready to commit crimes to solve crimes while Watson would get a bit uncomfortable and be like "uh this is a bit illegal".

lol also the patriotic one he was convinced to write during WWI to boost people's spirits where Holmes is a super spy or the one where a lady throws acid on this vain handsome villain to disfigure him, and Sherlock is like "yeah but he really kinda deserved it" so the police are like "oh ok" and give her a very light sentence Sherlock Holmes is great and I love those stories so much for so many different reasons

The 'eating monkey balls to be more virile ' story made me shake my head when I first read it, but these days i can completely believe a Facebook rumour about that would cause a load of boomers to drive the monkey population to near-extinction, even if the known side-effect was to mess up their brains and cause them to start climbing things.

Judging by the current state of things, this may already be happening, under the radar. Also the best non-Conan-Doyle Holmes is Neil Gaiman’s short story where he crosses it over with Lovecraft.

I read a novel by some guy last year, it was about how Sigmund Freud fenced with Hermann Göring and cured Sherlock Holmes of the cocaine. I think it was called "The One-Percent Solution" and there was also a train chase. It was poo poo.

the vague idea of sherlock holmes will always be more popular than the original stories. and to be fair, an arrogant eccentric genius solving mysteries that no one else can is a good enough idea that it never seems to go out of style.

You know, just a box of an imprisoned sapient being that Data created used as a paperweight or whatever in crew quarters. Inception for Trekkies and Holmes fans. There's a short story collection where Moriarty realises he's been tricked and put into a box and tries to escape. He thinks he managed to escape but hasn't and is still in the box Geordi keeps in his room. There's some other Star Trek universe thing where they're told they can't just imprison a sapient being they created without having a trial, come on lads you of all people should know the Federation doesn't do this kind of thing <  >

There was a good section in Feet of Clay dunking on Sherlock Holmes.Sir Terry Pratchett posted:Samuel Vimes dreamed about Clues. He had a jaundiced view of Clues. He instinctively distrusted them. They got in the way. And he distrusted the kind of person who’d take one look at another man and say in a lordly voice to his companion, “Ah, my dear sir, I can tell you nothing except that he is a left-handed stonemason who has spent some years in the merchant navy and has recently fallen on hard times,” and then unroll a lot of supercilious commentary about calluses and stance and the state of a man’s boots, when exactly the same comments could apply to a man who was wearing his old clothes because he’d been doing a spot of home bricklaying for a new barbecue pit, and had been tattooed once when he was drunk and seventeen* and in fact got seasick on a wet pavement

Also the ages make more sense. RDJ and Jude law actually look a lot more like the mid to late 30 year olds of the book Holmes/Watson. Also the entire final act of Game of Shadows is one of the greatest endings to a film ive ever seen. Nailed it.

the original concept of Holmes being an idiot savant for crimes was interesting but that lasted for about 1.5 short stories before Doyle decided that it was easier to write him as an omniscient superman there were a few good ones. A Scandal in Bohemia did a good job of demonstrating Sherlock's fallibility while still allowing him to play super genius detective. it would have been way better if more of the Holmes stories were about seriously exploring the limits of his methods instead of spending half the story hemming and hawing about "oh dear me how dreadful I fear this case will never be solved" and then spontaneously solving the case top to bottom after popping out for a morning jog

Also the best sherlock holmeses are Basil of Baker Street and Joseph Joestar although I'm not sure what that says about me. Probably nothing good.

House is the craziest poo poo in the world. Seriously, that poo poo was completely insane. The Aussie doctor guy and the lady originally get together, sex wise, because she's high off her rear end because she stole hard-core drugs from a gay man who loves to party… To death. Episode where house can't get a taxi so he gets Wilsons girlfriend killed in a car accident (whoops). Episode where Wilson is secretly dosing him with antidepressants so house gets Wilson hooked on speed? That's just the early stuff and when I was still watching the show! In the finale, house set up a drug addict to burn in a house so that he can use his skeleton as an alibi so that he can go on some gay end of life motorcycle tour with Wilson where is legitimately implied that they are going to Thelma and Louise themselves. what the christ
