There was a minor craze in the 60s and 70s to write "biographies" of fictional characters as though they were real people. Tarzan Alive! is the most famous but it was inspired by Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street in 1962 by William S. Baring-Gould. (He subsequently wrote a Nero Wolfe of West 35th Street which I believe went a long way towards popularising the fan theory that Nero Wolfe is Holmes's son by Irene Adler, largely on the basis that the vowels in Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe are in the same order - seriously.)

corn in the bible posted:I used to have this massive two-volume annotated Sherlock where the annotations were all, like, trying to establish what day things happened on and what kind of snake the speckled band really was and a bunch of other insane poo poo. it was incredible and I wish I still had it. Did you get rid if it in the Boston area? Because I may have your old copy. Hauling that monstrosity back to DC was fun. Mostly I was just glad to have the stories and novels in the same collection, finally.

I do think it's funny that Elementary was very clearly an attempt to ape the success of Sherlock, yet because it's far less ambitious it has ironically ended up a better adaptation

This set, right? I've included the 70s US version of the "Talons" novelization for scale and... well, just because, really. (And no, I don't think I actually have your old copy. There is, apparently, a newer, smaller edition out now.)

I still say that the second episode of the last season of Sherlock (The Lying Detective) is up there with the best episodes the show ever did, but holy gently caress that final episode was so bad it was almost surreal. Then again, maybe I'm just a sucker for anything with Toby Jones as a villain, see: Amy's Choice

Two weeks is plenty of time to rewatch the entirety (or at least the top five or so from every Series) of NuWho, right?

“Who” Showrunner Demanded A Female DoctorMatt Strevens posted:“We knew in our gut it was about time and it felt like the right decision, and the character is not gender-specific, in any way really. If ever there was a character that was never defined by gender, it’s the Doctor. The Doctor is gender fluid in that sense. Once Peter [Capaldi] had decided he was leaving, the next Doctor was always going to be a female Doctor. That’s what Chris wanted, that was part of his conditions of doing the job.” Interesting, and it makes sense, but I imagine some people will react poorly to the quote. (On that note, don't read the comments on that article.)

I remember when Chibnall had mentioned that he was looking specifically for a female Doctor, idiots were talking about suing the BBC for discrimination because they didn't consider any male actors

There's great bit in Pertwee's autobiography: quote:My back had been getting steadily worse, and when we came to do Planet of the Spiders, I was in such agony that I would do anything to ease it, and someone had suggested keeping my spine rigid by wearing a surgical corset.

I know there's a reduced episode order this season, but they seem to have put three episodes' worth of budget into making the remaining ones - at least from what we've seen - look very good indeed.
