[methylviolet10b]

Hello everybody! Your substitute mod here again this week, pinch-hitting for our awesome spacemutineer. Let's have some canon Sherlock Holmes discussion, shall we? What did you all think of The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter? I've written up a few of my own random thoughts and questions, which are behind the jump. And please, add your own in the comments!

There's no Granada episode to discuss this week.

MISS – Commonalities
Leslie Armstrong is not cast in the Moriarty mould. But there are unmistakable similarities between him and another.

Both are men of intelligence, nerve, and action, loyal and kind beyond reason, possessors of a dry sense of humor, and are unafraid to confront me.

Not a Moriarty, no, but an even rarer type: Staunton has a Watson watching over him.

What do I think of Mr Holmes?  He’s quick and darts around a lot.  He would find the scent, no doubt about it.  Dr Watson?  Not as quick, but really tenacious.  He would not give up until they found their quarry.  Couple them together and they’d be formidable.  If they were draghounds I would be happy to hunt with them.
