“But Sherlock Holmes never hates it when he’s right!”

• Without a word Holmes hurried to a carriage, and during the long seven miles’ drive he never opened his mouth. Seldom have I seen him so utterly despondent. He had been uneasy during all our journey from town, and I had observed that he had turned over the morning papers with anxious attention, but now this sudden realization of his worst fears left him in a blank melancholy. He leaned back in his seat, lost in gloomy speculation.

  — The Adventure of the Dancing Men, Holmes upon being proven right about the case by way of the death of his client.

“But Watson would never flinch at a grisly scene!”

• “That’s better!” said he. “And now, Doctor, perhaps you would kindly attend to my thumb, or rather to the place where my thumb used to be.”
  
  He unwound the handkerchief and held out his hand. It gave even my hardened nerves a shudder to look at it. There were four protruding fingers and a horrid red, spongy surface where the thumb should have been. It had been hacked or torn right out from the roots.
  
  “Good heavens!” I cried, “this is a terrible injury. It must have bled considerably.”

  — The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb

• The key being turned, however, the hole was not entirely closed. Sherlock Holmes bent down to it and instantly rose again with a sharp intaking of the breath.
  
  “There is something devilish in this, Watson,” said he, more moved than I had ever before seen him. “What do you make of it?”
  
  I stooped to the hole and recoiled in horror. Moonlight was streaming into the room, and it was bright with a vague and shifty radiance. Looking straight at me and suspended, as it were, in the air, for all beneath was in shadow, there hung a face — the very face of our companion Thaddeus. There was the same high, shining head, the same circular bristle of red hair, the same bloodless countenance.

I saw this earlier today: http://sophistory.tumblr.com/post/23234571473/now-that-more-people-than-ever-are-talking-about

Kind of related to what you guys are talking about.

This is all kinds of awesome tho.

I feel like this is the start of something new. I’m going to be a Joan Watson stan now aren’t I?

YES.

I feel like watching Elementary just to spite Steven Moffat. 

Because really, the guy just kind of sucks? Like kind of really?

Steven Moffat telling the makers of Elementary to not damage the brand is like a successful fanfiction writer telling another noob fanfiction writer that they can’t write (BEFORE THEY’VE EVEN WRITTEN ANYTHING) their ship because they might ruin it. 

Just because your adaptation is really good, doesn’t mean others can’t make their own.

Also that’s just in bad taste man.
