The Nights of the Deal-Topped Table

As an American in a small New England town I've found that all any of my friends know about Sherlock Holmes is deerstalkers and Robert Downey Jr. So, unable to find any local interest amongst my peers, I have turned to the Internet. Essentially, this is the unofficial Sherlockian society of me, myself, and I. All Sherlock Holmes geeks are heartily welcomed.

The Title is explained in the link aptly named "The Title."

Please feel free to Send Me a Wire with any and all questions or comments relating to Sherlock Holmes.

Elementary preview

I am actually extremely excited to see what they do with this. Maybe Moffat thinks they’ve changed the original too much, but I’m definitely willing to give it a chance. I like what I see of Holmes in this preview— I like the quick, sure deductions and the enthusiasm he shows when he feels he’s on to something. A female Watson is a bit worrisome, but as long as their relationship remains a friendship, I think it will be fine. And yes, it’s in American, but that’s hardly a change compared to modernizing. Taking Holmes out of the gaslit 1800s was the big step; after that, any other changes won’t affect mood too much. Can murders in New York really be that different than murders in London? The fact that it’s a city is the important part. 

I’m sure I’ll have problems with Elementary eventually, but I have problems with Sherlock as well. Every adaptation will have it’s issues, because everyone sees the stories in a different way.

I know it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything that involved much thinking on my part, so after I watch Sherlock tonight I’ll try to put something together. For now, an illustration by Joseph Simpson for “The Adventure of the Red Circle.”

My cousin and I went out driving and we found a Sherlock neighborhood.

I have a feeling a lot of fangirls are going to be looking for houses here.

I would like to live on Silver Blaze Drive.

Holmes shook his clenched hands in the air. “Incredible imbecility!” he cried.

poor Watson

This is one of those times again when I feel like I should watch some Granada Holmes. But then I watch Granada Holmes and I don’t like it as much as I expected I would. So I stop watching it. And the circle continues.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
— Arthur Conan Doyle (via mango-lassi)
