Robert Downey Jr is both Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man. Over on Deviant Art, Daaakota succumbed to the urge to draw Sherlock Holmes meeting Iron Man, and I’m glad. With two characters from different times it was also the ideal chance to consider what a steampunk Iron Man might be like too.
Unnamed but not Sherlock; Doctor Who’s Tennant accepts TV cop role
My first thought was “Don’t call it Sherlock” which was rather cruel. As it turns out, David Tennant‘s new – still without a name – TV series admits its inspiration openly. The series will be based on the Danish mega hit The Killing. The Danish The Killing, which has already inspired an American cover, follows […]
First look at the new Sherlock Holmes TV show Elementary
There was a mixed reaction from the geek community when CBS announced it was doing a contemporary Sherlock Holmes TV show. The first reaction, of many, was that this would be nothing but a US copy of Steven Moffat’s and Benedict Cumberbatch’s contemporary Sherlock Holmes. CBS then said Doctor Watson would be a woman. Joan […]
How Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows should have ended
The ending of any Sherlock Holmes series is always controversial. It certainly was when Conan Doyle first tried to kill off the detective. The site How It Should Have Ended is worth watching for some alternative ending humour. Their alternative ending for Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows is a good one.
Dr Joan Watson
When CBS announced, right after the success of the BBC’s Sherlock, that they would be doing a modern day Sherlock series I suspected they might prove to be very similar. In fact, I wondered whether CBS was copying the BBC. Was that wrong of me? Perhaps… but I surmise that I wasn’t the only one! As it […]
Review of The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Peerless Peer
It is a good sign when a science fiction writer can be described as being ahead of his or her time, and this is certainly the case regarding Philip José Farmer (January 26th, 1918 – February 25th, 2009). Farmer is perhaps best known for his Riverworld books, a series whose plot has everyone who has […]

Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows trailer
A Game of… A Game of… I’ve already had my email from Amazon to say that A Game of Thrones’ A Dance with Dragons has shipped – but no book! Now I have a trailer to showcase A Game of Shadows is coming… but no film. I’ll have to wait for both. Gah! At least […]
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows – first two posters
What we have here are Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law looking perfectly Holmes and Watson. The first movie was good for a whole number of reasons; one of which was the look and feel. Judging by these two posters A Game of Shadows is heading in that direction too. Sherlock Holmes 2 also includes […]
Free to Download: Benedict Cumberbatch’s The Nightjar
Native geeks will remember Benedict Cumberbatch not just form his impressive performance as Steven Moffat’s Sherlock Holmes but for speculation that he may have a forthcoming Doctor Who role. The possibility of either a Cumberbatch Master or Omega has been put forward. In the Nightjar he stars – at least his voice stars – in […]
