Just read the original Study in Scarlet over a spare couple of hours. *slight spoilers for Tv show* Michael Send a noteboard - 29/07/2010 10:35:20 AM
I love it so far.

Stylish and rather funny. Only 20 minutes in, though. :P

Damn sure I'm not worrying about spoiler tags for the original book :P
I had forgotten that in the books, Holmes tested the tablets on a terrier,conclusively proving the nature of the poison, whereas in the show he just throws it to the ground in a rage, never knowing if he was right. I feel the literary Holmes would never have allowed doubt to plague him, so I wonder why the writers ddecided to let this stand in the show. Will this Sherlock prove less confident in the long run? Were they too scared to show animal cruelty? I just have a mental image of writers and producers discussing whether they would get away with depicting the poisoning of a small dog on primetime. Humans dying, no problem. Man's best friend? No chance.
The Monday Cafe - open when I damn well feel like it

I blame Alric

Well, the usual trick is to have him talk to himself so that we can hear his thoughts. Tim - 29/07/2010 08:58:39 AM 551 Views
