WAS JOHN H. WATSON THE ORIGINAL FAN BOY
Long before conventions, online forums, or shelves of tie in merchandise, popular culture already had a fan figure quietly shaping a legend.

I found that the old Russian Holmes series is on Youtube with English subtitles. These were made by Lenfilm for Soviet television from 1979-1986 starring Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin. Good Sherlock adaptations if you've never seen them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=saVN...

I discovered a cool "bookclub" podcast for Sherlock Holmes stories called However Improbable. They go in chronology order based on William Baring-Gould's theories, with some exceptions, and they discuss gender, queer readings, Empire, etc. Very interesting. www.howeverimprobablepodcast.com

Just found out that Jason Gray-Stanford who played Lt. Randy Disher on Monk also played Holmes in the Sherlock in the 22nd Century cartoon. Mind blown.

Apparently the Stranger Things finale happened. I have no opinion, as I never watched the show, but I am mad that Netflix put the finale into tons of movie theaters, way more than they did for Wake Up Dead Man. Or is that the movie theaters chains wanted Stranger Things more than Benoit Blanc? 😞

Has anyone ever watched the British comedy Upstart Crow about Will Shakespeare? They did a Christmas special one year called A Crow Christmas Carol. A vague Stranger (Spirit) from the future tells Dickens’s story to Will who decides to do the holiday haunting to his enemy. It’s wild.

I saw a production of A Sherlock Carol recently. Fun mashup of Blue Carbuncle with Dickens’s Scrooge tale.

Saw a movie called Sarah’s Oil, about Sarah Rector, who had to defend her land rights and oil rights from swindling white conman in Oklahoma during the time of the Osage murders. Even the white prospector Burt is an imperfect ally who has to make up for his mistake. #SarahsOil

Started watching the new French show Mademoiselle Holmes on PBS Passport. Intriguing premise so far. It wasn't just the car accident, but the fact that she stopped taking her meds, which unleashed her crimesolving skills. Charming quirky detective. #sherlockholmes

Looks like AMC theaters will have Clue on screen for the 40th anniversary. It even seems that they will separate the 3 endings. Can’t wait! Love this movie

I recently reread The Copper Beeches story. Sherlock and Watson meet Violet Hunter at a hotel to discuss her case. She has to leave at 3pm and Holmes says they’ll meet her at the house at 7pm. So what are they doing for 4 hours? Did ACD mean us to imagine romantic interludes or what?
