Er, I meant The Yellow Face. Whoops.

Oh man, that's definitely one of my favorites. Holmes uses a perfectly valid line of deductive reasoning, as always, and is just SO WRONG and it's amazing how gracefully he accepts that. It's one of my favorite moments for the character, and also one of the reasons why I just can't accept BBC!Sherlock as the same person.

Thank you for reminding me of that story! That's one of the stories that shows that what Holmes is really a great guy and a big part of his detective thing is being nice to others. That's an important part of who Holmes is that a lot of adaptations get wrong - yeah Holmes likes to show off, but that doesn't mean he's not actually a nice person.

ACD Holmes can definitely be a jerk sometimes, but it's usually an unintentional side-effect of the showing off and his melodramatic tendencies (e.g. The Dying Detective, Hound of the Baskervilles). He's not an asshole just for kicks like Cumberlock is, or as overtly socially inept as RDJ's Holmes.

Holmes isn't socially inept at all, really. He does behave rudely and thoughtlessly at times, but it's not because he doesn't know any better and/or is too much of a jerk to apologize when his faux pas is pointed out to him.

Holmes and I followed them down the lane, and my friend plucked at my sleeve as we came out.

"I think," said he, "that we shall be of more use in London than in Norbury."

Not another word did he say of the case until late that night, when he was turning away, with his lighted candle, for his bedroom.

"Watson," said he, "if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper 'Norbury' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."
