Hi,

I've been looking around for a good Sherlock Holmes forum, and I think I've finally found the one. :D
I look forward to joining discussions and reading your theories and thoughts on everything Sherlock.

Cheers!

Sharky

Hello All;

Been a serious Sherlock Holmes Geek for a very very long time. I got my first SH book at 14 at Christmas, and I remember my Mother yelling at me to "put that book down and go out and play!" I usually don't (= NEVER) reply or blog or Facebook or Twitter, but fighting against my Luddite tendencies to log in to this forum. When I heard about his 'updated' version coming out, I was against like so many like me. How could you improve upon Jeremy Brett? But 5 gold stars to the writers and actors - I really did not think it could be pulled it off, but the series is excellent in almost every way. The series music is even outstanding! Bravo. Leave it to the Brits to show us Americans how good TV is done.

Hello and welcome HoosierPhD. You are sure to find a lot to amuse and enjoy here. I agree with you about the music both the original and the clips such as Sinnerman and The Thieving Magpie.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

And welcome also to HoosierPhD.

Hello Doc and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your input and to see you are a Canonite and not so much a Luddite after all.

Chrissi · July 30, 2012 3:36 pm

Welcome to the Forum :D

Hi Sharky and Hoosier, welcome to the madness!
How did you come up with your usernames? I believe Hoosier is a reference to a US state, am I right?
We are a worldwide bunch of crazies, er I mean, lovely people, here. Female and male, young and old(er), sane and a bit nutty, but all good, kind people.
Kazza keeps us in line, watch out for her!

Welcome to Hoosier and Sharky (notice how we nickname folks).

Sharky, yes, you have probably found the right forum. We're fun and nice and knowledgeable, although the latter isn't necessarily a requirement.

I shouldn't answer for you, Hoosier, but I'm guessing you're from Indiana. Yay! Another member in the MidWest We have Michigan and Illinois and, I believe, Ohio.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Hoosier.
Hoosier who?
Hoosier favorite Sherlock character?

Hoosiers are from Indiana (USA), although we don't really know where the nickname developed. And, no, I did NOT attend Indiana University! (Important that I make that qualifier to my use of the name..others from the Midwest will understand). Good question - who is my favorite SH character. Most likely Irene Adler, just because she beat SH and did it in such a nice way (in the books, anyway).

Hi Hoosier, as an American long time follower of Sherlock Holmes do you consider yourself a Sherlockian or a Holmesian?
I recall reading a long time ago that Americans called themselves Holmesians.
I know it's a trivial thing but I've always wondered how much those 'titles' still rang true these days.

Hum.Good question. I've always called myself a 'Sherlock Nut'. It's only recently that the average person understood the meaning....

While "The Fandom That Waits" waits until the next episides, I'm hoping that everyone who hasn't read the original stories does so.
