Can't really say anything to that OP, but I do know that this fandom is the winner for reading into subtext and explaining away tiny plot holes. I just saw a full length essay on why it's realistic for John to ask for money from Sherlock. And there was that post about Sherlock having Asperger's where the writer consulted several psychologists ... do these people really not have anything better to do with their time and resources? The Asperger's one I can kind of understand, but the minor stuff ... eh.

That's nothing compared to what Holmes-fans have been writing about for year. I've seen passionate essays on whether it was Sax Codurg Street or Saxe Codburg Street and where exactly it really is (seriously, there's an essay called 'The Case of the Missing 'E' in one of the issues of the Baker Street Journal) and that pales in comparison to the location-buffs who painstakingly argue over canonical locations.

[badass_tiger]

Oh my, and I thought Decoding the Subtext was bad! I can understand arguing over characterisation, but the spelling of a location?! There really are all kinds of people out there.

Tbf, these kinds of essays are mostly REALLY tongue-in-cheek -- they're more excuses to do really random history-buff research than to achieve some goal ;)

[badass_tiger]

Of course, I do them too. But it's the length and depth of thought that apparently goes into such little things that surprises me.

I think it's kind of funny that both of the essay you mention were written by the same person.

[badass_tiger]

Oh were they? I didn't notice the author's name, those were just the two I saw the most recently

From what I recall the person who writes them is medical student (possibly final year) so maybe they're doing that "I want to think about something other than..." thing we all do when up to our elbows in real work.
