For once, I cannot say that I quite understand the sentiment. I'm not sure if it's an unorthodox opinion, exactly, but I found Sir Henry as a character rather generic. Just your classic white knight in a shiny hat. If anything, I liked Barrymore much better.

Now I get what is attractive about the dynamics: I'm always up to reading some nice Watson&Third Party friendshippy fic, and I do find other character's attempts at solving mysteries cool. It is always refreshing to see what Watson is like outside of his interactions with Holmes. But I would definitely not go for HOUN.

However, I love what they did with Sir Henry in the Soviet adaptation. Yeah, he's a cheesy cringeworthy American (Maslennikov might have not known any better), but the scene where he and Watson get drunk is PRICELESS. And he does have some personality beyond the Insert Random Good Man cliches.

the scene where he and Watson get drunk

tonight I learned of yet another pastiche BBC Sherlock is ripping off

[dreemyweird]

Really not sure about that. What did they rip off? The idea of two characters getting drunk? That is hardly original. IDEK if Moffat&Co even watched the Soviet films.

Plus, it isn't a pastiche.

How would you describe it if not a pastiche? Love it, btw.

[dreemyweird]

Well, an adaptation? A screen version? Cross-genre pastiches are tricky things, I'm not prepared to swear they actually exist.

It's one of my favorite versions ever <3

He also got drunk in A Game of Shadows, so you could go for much more recent ripping-off than the Soviet adaptation. Although getting drunk isn't exactly a new idea, like dreemy said.
