The Sherlockians! discussion

Three years after The Final Problem- And guess what? Sherlock Holmes isn't really dead! He just faked his death and traveled around the world diisguised as a traveler named Sigerson doing who knows what.

Yeah. I cried when I learned he wasn't actually dead. And I cried at the begining of The Final Problem because Watson made it sound a lot like Sherlock was going to die.

But the ending of the Final Problem was so... Anti climatic. Watson wasn't even there when it happened!

I know! Dumb sick woman.

What's your favorite adventure?

return I mean

The Empty House. Wow, it seems like all my favoritest are at the beginnings of the novels! I just like it so much because HOLMES ISN'T DEAD!!! Yay!
"I seem to have shocked you by my unnessicarily dramatic reappearance."
That was my favorite line!

:P I like how Watson ran into him without him knowing who he was. That was when I realized it was Holmes.

i'm sad. Everyone left me! :'(

Sorry... practicin' my guitar!
Anyway...
Yeah, it was really easy to figure out that the old book seller was Holmes. But it was really funny how he looked like a complete stranger but still followed Watson into his house!

:P Yeah. I think its funny how Watson was fooled even after he found his house.

I really don't like to think of Watson as an idiot, but sometimes... gosh. How could he have not known that man was Holmes?!

I know! And I'm reading the Hound of the Baskervilles. How could Watson think Holmes would miss the cab number?!?! REALLY!!!

Actually, that is one I haven't read.
In the Empty House when Holmes came back, and he was disguised and followed Watson into his house, that should have been a clue that he was Holmes. At least he didn't have to be all surprised! Sherlock would do that to him all the time before he "died". But no. He fainted.

I know!!!! >:( Sometimes Watson just makes me mad.

He's much less dopey in all the Holmes movies and TV shows I've seen :)

No off topic-ness!

To late.

I like how he became so popular after his "sudden appearance". It's like everyone randomly heard he was back and they all had something to tell them

Yeah, I didn't get that. I thought he was trying to keep a low profile as to keep away from Moriarty's henchmen. After all, he was even being chased by snipers when he first came back!

Yeah, but I think that after he got that one guy, it didn't matter so much

But that still doesn't explain how everyone suddenly heard about him!

Watson published his return. And there were the police and Lestrade. Rumours spread quickly too you know.

Ah.

Hey, did you know that 25% of Americans think Sherlock Holmes was a real person?

I'm half and half. He sounds so real. Was he?

Nope. But his character was based on a professor at the university Arthur Consn Doyle went to. His name was Dr. Joseph A. Bell and he could deduce things like Sherlock Holmes.

Awesome. My 1 goal in life is to figure out a crime like him

That would be so cool!

It would.

Holmes shouldn't have been so dramatic about it! Oh well. It was entertaining, though. I absolutely love his disguises!

He even said so himself, "I seem to have shocked you by my unnessicarily dramatic reappearance!"

Wonder how he did the wrinkles....NEVER MIND!!!! I FEEL STUPID!!! MASKS DUH!!!

And good acting! (not for the wrinkles, just the old man affect!)

Yeah

:)

thrilled to be in this room

good!

Welcome to the group!

Oh hey Sammy, I read Enola Holmes twice and I think I almost like it better than Sherlock Holmes...how revolting. the author wrote skytale wrong. its Scytale. I looked it up cuz I couldn't figure out how it works.

Oh, that's cool! You almost like it better than the original?! Shame, Emily, shame. (JK!)
You know it's a series, right?

Yeah I read all 6 books twice and now I'm reading the first one again. You almost have to wonder if Sherlock & Mycroft's names are ciphers.....And now I'm randomly obsessed with scytales.

Lol, I seriously don't think so, but they ARE pretty odd names :P

Yeah. If you get rid of the S in Sherlock, its "Her Lock" and if you change the o to and A in Mycroft, its "My Craft"


Just thought I'd point that out.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure those were common-ish-unusual names in the 1800s.

Yeah, cuz Watson never mentioned Sherlock being a ritardedly strange name.

But that may have been a little rude, and that would mean Arthur Conan Doyle was insulting his choice in character names! Originally the story was going to be about two detectives and Holmes's first name was going to be Sherringford.

LOL THATS HILARIOUSLY INSULTING!!!!!! Why Sherringford?
