So, one of my great pains in life is that there are 90340 bad film adaptations of Hounds, and I’ve only come across five film versions of Holmes’ and Watson’s meeting. (“Five?” you say. Yes. Counting Elementary, Great Mouse Detective, the Soviet series, Young Sherlock Holmes, and BBC).
I would do terrible things for a Victorian, English speaking (THE RUSSIAN ONE IS AMAZING THOUGH) meet cute, preferably with Study in Scarlet (Peter Cushing’s is set in the middle of their partnership, agony!).
Anywho, the past couple days I’ve been watching the Ronald Howard Series from the 50’s and I must say I really enjoy it, better than I ever liked Rathbone- and. it. has. meet cute.

That being said, can you imagine if Granada had managed to do Study in Scarlet age appropriate meet cute?
He has tried scanning space itself to get Jim back, if you don’t think that he’d do it again, then you’re quite wrong.

- Congratulations to my dear friend and co-conspirator in so many things, Felicia Day, on the announcement of her upcoming book!
- I sat…
