This is my other Star Trek Into Darkness review. Slightly more succinct.
Seconded by the Baker Street Babes.
Can we add just how sweet it is that Mr. Cumberbatch is hyper-aware he’s now part of the Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings, AND Star Trek fandoms?
And thus, if our brave (but a wee bit shy) very own Sherlock were to attend Comic Con, it would probably look like this:
You know… those of us in the USA haven’t seen STID yet. So it’d be REALLY NICE if you’d tag your fucking spoilers.
Always know where the nearest Red Shirt is, and keep your distance.
I am deadI can die happy.
Give this brilliance one million notes, please.
I’m rewatching Star Trek tng, so there is a little fanart of Data and Geordi as Sherlock and Watson!

This one is for our new Babe, Melinda :)
Always reblog Trek Sherlock Data.

So often, modernizations and movie adaptations get a bad rap, and those who love the heart and soul of the original works fume at them with just indignation. But every once in a while, the adaptation isn’t bad. Every so often, they bring old worlds to new people, and that’s the best thing there is.
God bless this post.
Ten Things You Don't Know About Sherlock Holmes ›
Fun little article by Babe Lyndsay for Jungle Red Writers!
ROSEMARY HARRIS: Think you know all there is to know about Sherlock Holmes? Think again. Baker Street Babe Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham, reveals ten things we bet you didn’t know…
1. In his earliest draft of A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle named the detective and the doctor Sherrinford Holmes and Ormand Sacker, respectively. Thank all that is holy that Doyle refrained from experiments with psychotropic drugs thereafter.
2. One of the most beloved Sherlock Holmes adventures, The Speckled Band, features a nefarious doctor who trains a killer snake to climb a bell-pull at the sound of a whistle, rewarding the serpent with milk. Snakes are entirely deaf, “hearing” through vibrations in the belly and tongue, and they do not drink milk…but what the heck.
3. Sherlock Holmes first appeared on film, in a one-reel mutascope running less than a minute and titled Sherlock Holmes Baffled, in the year 1900. Which everyone will agree was remarkably early and gave the man a bit of a head start (he is thought to be the most prolific screen character in film history).
4. No fewer than three actors featured on various incarnations of Star Trek have played Sherlock Holmes. Leonard Nimoy (Spock in the original Trek series) in a 1970s stage tour; Matt Frewer (Berlinghoff Rasmussen in ST:TNG) in a series of low-budget Canadian TV films; and Brent Spiner (Data in ST:TNG) in several actual Next Generation episodes in which he donned cape and deerstalker.
5. Sherlock Holmes’s great-uncle was Horace Vernet, a famous French painter of war history patronized by Napoleon III. Or so Holmes informed Watson regarding his hereditary genius, remarking, “Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.”
