Sherlockian Post

For the Sherlock Holmes on my friends list, Io9 just did this article: 22 Cases of Sherlock Holmes in Science Fiction. The comments add more than Io9 lists, like Fred Saberhagen’s crossovers with Dracula. There’s a mention of Watson (played by Peter Wingfield) appearing on Sanctuary, which I haven’t watched as of yet.

I used to watch Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. I’ve been searching for The Return of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes Returns—both tv movies where Holmes was frozen, and eventually thawed out—so far, unsuccessfully.

I believe I’ve read Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds, and Time for Sherlock Holmes. I’ve read Sherlock Holmes In Orbit, too. Shadows Over Baker Street is on my to-be-read pile—I also have one where Holmes is really a time traveler, and took the name Sherlock from a Shakespearean play, with a slight alteration. (I’ll dig through my shelves if someone wants the title)

Back in the early 90’s, I bought All-Consuming Fire, by Andy Lane, through a mail order catalogue called 800-Trekker. It was just for the Sherlock Holmes bits, but technically it was my first exposure to Doctor Who.

I totally remember watching Sherlock Holmes made for tv movies. Or you know, one at least were he got thawed out. I guess I was youngish and just basically remember seeing it which I know I enjoyed.

Aside from Sherlock Holmes' War of the Worlds there's a trashy sequel to War of the Worlds whose title and author I forget which features among its characters to fellow referred for security reasons only as Mr. H. and Dr. W.

Oh, now that brings back memories! I used to order all sorts of Who stuff from 800-Trekker too! Mainly MAs and a TARDIS key necklace (which I still have, though the original chain has since disintegrated).

I bought that one, and Happy Endings through there. If I had heard of Doctor Who back then, I would have tried to buy all the novels they had.

I think I mostly bought Dark Shadows and Highlander related things.
