Sherlock Homes - Blog Posts
A quiet, civilised evening
If you think about it, these two:
Are very much like them:
To be clear, I very specifically mean Basil Rathbones version of Holmes (Asterix), but even more Nigel Bruce's version of Watson (Obelix)
something about the way watson is immediately intrigued by holmes's character ("the proper study of man is mankind,") immediately begins studying the man like an anthropologist, has a natural inclination to help people, and continues to write and think about Who Holmes Is in addition to chronicling his actual work makes me think that, if the field had existed, he'd have been a psychologist.
something about being a doctor and then transitioning into the exact type of writer he becomes, his concern for holmes, his preoccupation with the unknown/darker aspects of human nature/taboo subjects not often addressed, his innate compassion... lad was writing letters to Freud fr (don't do it watson)
Brilliant day. Binged all of season one and two of BBC Sherlock instead of going to jump rope practice. Why am I telling you all this?
