Freckled Whimsy

16 with red hair and I quite fancy Dr. Who, Harry Potter, Miranda, The IT Crowd (basically all British television), classic literature, taxidermy, antiquities, tea, old books, crystals, mysteries and anything odd or whimsical. Music wise, there is far too much to state but favourites include: Passenger, King Charles, City and Colour, Stu Larsen, Ed Sheeran, Old Man River, Boy and Bear....etc. etc....oh and musicals.

Also, I have no claim to ownership of any of these images, unless stated otherwise.

So, Sherlock Holmes…..

Having read, and owned copies of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, it is my opinion that he was an amazing author.

What annoys me is the idiocy and small-mindedness of some of the fans of BBCs current rendition, ‘Sherlock’. Yes, it is different as it is set in twenty-first century London as opposed to the original setting of the late 1800s to the early 1900s but that does by no means make it ‘better’. Firstly I am sure that only a handful of ‘Sherlock’ fans have seen, or read any other renditions or adaptions of the original text (excluding the recent films starring Robert Downey Junior) and so cannot make a sound judgement on the greatness of the television show. Furthermore how dumb must you be to think that Moffat is ‘trolling’ the audience in ‘The Reichenbach Fall’? I mean, honestly. It is based upon the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who went on to write ‘The Return of Sherlock Holmes’, a collection of short stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, following his “demise”. 

It is said that ‘the original is best’ and this rings true for Sherlock Holmes, thusly I highly recommend reading the books as they are fantastic.
