Re: Sherlock

[(Anonymous)]

Holmes never found a clever way to defeat him in the original story, either. He was resorting to breaking and entering to get materials Milverton was going to use for blackmail, but then one of Milverton's former victims up and shot the guy and took care of the problem.

Re: Sherlock

I still don't think this in any way excuses "Sherlock". It may be faithful to the books (which a lot of "Sherlock" fans have not read, nor do I think they should be expected to) but that doesn't make it good story-telling. Especially as "Sherlock" only vaguely follows the books anyway. It's a different medium anyway.

Perhaps they could've found a way for Sherlock to have shot him and made it satisfying but I doubt it. As it is, they created a viscerally repellant villain and did not give the audience (in my opinion) a cathartic ending. Telling me that it's faithful to the books doesn't change the unfinished feeling I was left with when I watched the episode.
