12 stories away from finishing the complete Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I'll have thoughts on all of this.
@ZiaMacPine incoming review split in two halves: before Reichenabach Falls and after.
“In this video essay I will explain why we should really refer to the trope as ‘jumping the falls’ and not the shark…”
@artfulreggie that wouldnt be my interpretation but I certainly would be interested in reading the argument
@ZiaMacPine admittedly I’ve never been curious enough to read any Sherlock Holmes works (mostly because of spoilers from contemporary media; partially because of my knowledge of Doyle) ^^;
@artfulreggie that is fair as you know I dont really care about spoilers myself. I dont need to be surprised I am more interested to see how a story is presented. And yeah sometimes an author or the fans of a work can really wreck a piece. Thats reasonable.
I enjoy holmes stories in part and both my parents used some of those stories in teaching classes so I grew up with Holmes but I never really sat down to do the complete works and I wanted to
@artfulreggie part of what I am enjoying is seeing the world of the era with technologies of transit, lighting, and communication and how they worked and also how Doyle writing into the 1920 kept trying to keep the stories in the 1890s to 1905 range even as his own memories of daily life then faded
