The new Sherlock Holmes and wing chun

[mograph]

Hmmm. Sounds like TV's Dr House.

That was the intention:
House/Holmes.
Wilson/Watson.
Vicodin/cocaine.
House's apartment: 221B.

... and so on ....

Hmmm. Sounds like TV's Dr House.

Wait ... you didn't know that the show was a (hackneyed) retelling of Homes?

 

[Gordon Nore]

Dang, I feel stoopid.

 

[blindsage]

Don't worry, I feel stupid too. Of course I've never read any of the books and have never seen a Holmes on film that I would relate to House.

 

[Omar B]

Don't feel bad, you've not read them. I just assumed everyone's read them being so old and oft referenced. Hell, I didn't know the House/Holmes connection till last November after my car accident. I hate medical shows but was stuck at home and my mother had it on TV so I saw it and it occurred to me.

FYI ... The original Holmes canon was the short stories and Doyle's 4 novels(I think). All of the short stories are available for free online at http://www.mysterynet.com

they are all in downloadable formats as well.

Peace!!!
