You pick 1887 for Sign of Four too. Yes I agree that makes sense.

You’re doing a Sherlockian chronology too? I did one on my blog. Haven’t been able to update in a while due to my computer dying.

Even Sherlock once said “cut the poetry, Watson” in The Retired Colourman” story.

Cress @cress221.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I liked “descendant of Sherlock Holmes” but I don’t like her solving love mysteries. Unless it’s like those Harley Quin & Mr Satterwhite mysteries by Agatha Christie.

I still want that Batgirl movie. 😡

Very capable hands. Watson always drawn to hands!

Very good adaptation. More faithful to the book than the Hammer film.

So he was possibly considering letting women join later meetings, but this didn’t happen, and the Irregular narrating this tale in 1964 says he’s happy about it! Fucking dick. BSI didn’t let women in until the 1990s. Toxic fandom.

001

I have a book with an article from 1964 where an Irregular describes the origin of the club. Christopher Morley publishes a puzzle for fans to solve to be a member, and several women qualify but he doesn’t invite them to the meeting. He sends invites saying first meeting will be stag.

I’d argue that the real toxic fandom was the Baker Street Irregulars excluding women for decades and singing their stupid Aunt Clara song that they pretended was about Irene Adler. Toxic men

Then he finally revived Holmes in Empty House. All of this was his choice and his own pace. He even did Holmes plays again, Speckled Band and Crown Diamond.

100

I’d argue that Doyle got worse threats from suffragists when he made political remarks against them. I’m not sure if it was apocryphal that someone sent a mail bomb to him over suffrage. Doyle chose to write a Holmes play that was bad, then let William Gillette do it. Then he used Holmes for Hound

Cress @cress221.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I don’t think Doyle was bullied into reviving Holmes. He moved on and wrote other books for years. Traveled, built a new house, romanced Jean Leckie while his wife was dying, etc. He got nasty letters sure but he voluntarily came back to Holmes when he wanted to.

100

He’s always dismissing himself. No way is Watson insignificant. In fact, later the police will even say they want to be in his next book.

Ooh I didn’t know there were conversion tools going back to 1890. I’ll have to look into it

Cress @cress221.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I guess shows like "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century" would be considered a sequel series. Elementary would be a reboot. And then I think a reimagining would be like Miss Sherlock or that web series "The Adventures of Jamie Watson and Sherlock Holmes." lezwatchtv.com/show/the-adv...

The Adventures of Jamie Watson (and Sherlock Holmes) – LezWatch.TV

The Adventures of Jamie Watson (and Sherlock Holmes) is a Web Series that has at least one queer character and airs onYouTube – A Gender flipped Sherlock Holmes.

I liked it and enjoyed how they simplified Holmes's methods with his new phrase "eyes and brains" to let kids see how he solves things.

Cress @cress221.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I always thought the Victorian-period adaptations are retellings. Stories where Holmes is frozen and brought to the future to solve modern crimes are like a continuation of past character history. That's different from a reboot like Elementary where he only exists in modern times, not the past.

Holmes also talks of people’s physical traits reflecting their good or evil nature. Even implies that it’s hereditary in Moriarty and Moran

I think they’re still worried about being compared to the Granada series with Jeremy Brett, but it’s been 30 years. Can someone please try?

The Muppets ARE the premise! Get a celeb to sing a song, fall off a ladder, kiss Miss Piggy, and that’s your format. Do that 12 times. You’re welcome

Post yoinked from thebedheadedleague.bsky.social on Tumblr because it's just so accurate. To paraphrase Vincent Starrett: IT'S ALWAYS 1895 SOMEWHERE BAYBEEE!

Sherlock Holmes really is the Brain Worm of All Time. Like you can leave the fandom for literally years but it never truly leaves your brain, and one day something triggers it in just the right way and suddenly you're Not Normal About Those Detectives again. It's like you become a lifelong sleeper agent for Victorian detective yaoi. You can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

That reminds me of the Norwood Builder story where Holmes is sure that bloody thumbprint wasn’t there yesterday.
