The people who complain about there being "too much action" clearly haven't read the stories in a while (if ever). They're just attached to this image of Holmes and Watson sitting in Baker Street by the fireplace.

Well it's a very nice image. And then Miss Marple can drop in for scones... ;)

She's probably Mrs Hudson's cousin. *LOL*

I can just see it...

"I just don't understand why you didn't come to my when you had all those problems with Frank..."

"Well, it was a rather unfortunate situation, and I didn't really want the family... involved, you know? It wasn't that I didn't have faith in your abilities."

"This is why I never got married."

Damn Miss Marple!

That's a very neat article, and so true!

IKR? I can't believe I forgot it. :)

Oh SNAP. LOL!! This is EXACTLY why I adore Gatiss.

The critic needs to brush up on his reading before laying out criticism. Holmes was detective AND action-hero for his time!

*HUGS*

You don't try to school an obsessive fan... >:)
