What a wonderful tribute to the history of Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed it very much!

[sanguinity]

Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed!

Magnificent!!

You have captured the true meaning of Holmestice. The all-inclusive, charming, witty, genius true reason why we are all here, where it will always be 1895--even in the 22nd century.

Re: Magnificent!!

Aw, thank you!

Fun fact (and one which startled me somewhat, when I was watching source): Holmes and Watson weren't 'always' 1895 until after WWII. In fact, outside of the first two Rathbone films, H&W were never 1895. Aside from those, everything I watched that was made before 1946 was all set during the various years they were filmed. That wasn't a marked thing during the 1910s, of course -- Holmes' last adventure was in 1914, and new stories were still being published through the 1920s -- but by the time you get into the 1930s and the 1940s, the non-Victorianness of these productions was pretty noticeable.

And then boom, WWII finished, and suddenly Holmes and Watson were always 1895. I tell you, I learned so many cool things, watching source for this. :-)

Oh, spectacular, for all the reasons already given.

And now I am intrigued, because either someone has been extraordinarily busy this round, or I am going to be very surprised by one of at least two reveals when the time comes.

[sanguinity]

Thank you!

As it turns out, I was extraordinarily busy this round, but sadly, it wasn't because I was making treats or pinch-hits. :-)

Omfg this is amazing!!!

To say I love it is an understatement, and it's kind of made my Monday.

(I'd forgotten Data and Geordi LaForge!)

[sanguinity]

Aw, I'm so pleased I was able to bring cheer to a Monday!

Data and Geordi! I had wanted to include them, but went back and forth because they're not 'really' Holmes and Watson (for what are admittedly shaky values of 'really'), they're just play-acting Holmes and Watson, but then I suddenly had a whole verse of people playing Holmes to someone else's Watson (or vice versa) and they fit in beautifully there. :-)

OMG you even included Data & Geordi, you darling!

Loved the song choice, it was absolutely perfect. This was such a special treat!

[swissmarg]

Perfect icon is perfect! ;)

Data and Geordi spent a little while moving around the vid while I tried to find the right place for them. (For a long while, it looked like they might be the punchline of 'strolling through the where-sis' -- France, Toronto, SPACE! -- before I settled them where they are now.) But Data and Geordi were on the spreadsheet pretty early in the game and were definitely going in the vid, if I could at all swing it. Because Data and Geordi! :-)

And thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
