Okay. Allowing for the fact that this is probably a troll secret and moving on, what adaptations of Holmes have you seen with strong plots? Because faithful adaptations will run into the same problems as the originals (though some of them try to fix the more overt Victorian misunderstandings of science, etc), but non-faithful adaptations also seem to have pretty weak mysteries.

Of all the ones I've seen, the best (more or less) original mysteries I've seen in Holmes adaptations are 'Study in Pink' (none of the rest of the Sherlock plots, they tend towards rampant sensationalism without much substance, but SiP was actually a decent twist), and possibly the WWI-comes-early plot from Game of Shadows, if only because it was eerily plausible sounding.

Anyone else make an argument for stronger adaptation plots?

DA

Ironically, the reason A Study in Pink was as good as it was, was entirely due to the fact that it stayed closer to its original inspiration, A Study in Scarlet, than any of the subsequent BBC Sherlock episodes, which moved further and further away from the original material, based upon the input from the more vocal minority in the fandom, who wanted slapstick fanfiction, so that's what Moffat et al gave them, slapstick fanfiction.
