Thinking about how actually genius it is to have John Watson be a podcaster. It’s a perfect parallel to him being the one in-universe to write down his and Sherlock’s adventures, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY it keeps John a relevant and proactive character in the stories and the audience has to rely on him to give us all the relevant information so we can try to put together and solve the case, too.

It’s so good because any Sherlock Holmes fan will tell you, there are too many adaptations out there where John as a character really suffers by the story being moved to third person (and sometimes omniscient) and not being beholden to making him a fully formed character - it’s just ticking the Watson box without thinking about why he’s there.

#sherlock & co #sherlock and co #sherlock & co podcast #and this is why I keep saying ‘Professional Podcaster John Watson’ in the same way one would say ‘Jonathan Sims the Archivest’

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1 Watson: Speaking of new friends, I daresay the group was as queer as the case! It seems to me you didn’t even find the invisible fellow the most curious of them. Holmes: Ah, you noticed that, did you?

Panel 2 Holmes (voiceover): Indeed, they’re quite a peculiar gathering… many traits to spark the curiosity.

Panel 3 Watson: That aside, I am glad you were able to meet Irene Norton again, under less dubious circumstances. Holmes:  As am I. That wasn’t my proudest moment, was it?

Panel 4 Holmes: I’m relieved that she has asked me to stay in touch. Watson: Oh? So she and her husband are settling down in London?

Panel 5 Holmes (voiceover): They are; and she has stated, quite firmly, that I owe them a proper wedding.

Panel 6 Holmes: I have composed a list of venues to suggest to the bride. Do help me compose my reply? Watson: Of course! Let me fetch the writing-paper…

Panel 7 Holmes (voiceover): Dear Mrs. Norton, I am writing to tell you… Caption: End Interlude 1

This is a pretty tangential connection, but hear me out.

This painting, 'The Ballad of Lenore,' is based on the poem of the same name by Gottfried August Bürger:

and in that poem is where the line "the dead travel fast" comes from that Jonathan references. But that's plenty well-known.

Less well-known is the fact this was painted by the French artist Émile Jean-Horace Vernet, or just Horace Vernet.

And that's interesting because Sherlock Holmes revealed in the story The Greek Interpreter that he himself is related to a French artist named Vernet:

"To some extent," he answered, thoughtfully. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class. But, none the less, my turn that way is in my veins, and may have come with my grandmother, who was the sister of Vernet, the French artist. Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms."

And it has been speculated that the Vernet in question here is in fact Horace Vernet, if not his father Carle Vernet, or grandfather Claude-Joseph Vernet, both of whom were also French artists and painters.

Regardless of which Vernet he's talking about, he's still related to all of them. So I just think it's a pretty neat (albeit very tangential) in-universe connection between Jonathan Harker and Sherlock Holmes, two characters from very famous stories in the same era.

What's less tangential though is that Bram Stoker and Arthur Conan Doyle knew each other in real life, and were well acquainted. Here is a letter Doyle sent Stoker about how much he enjoyed Dracula:

Transcription:

Claremont Eastbourne Aug 20/97 My dear Bram Stoker I am sure that you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula. I think it is the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years. It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax. It holds you from the very start and grows more and more engrossing until it is quite painfully vivid. The old Professor is most excellent and so are the two girls. I congratulate you with all my heart for having written so fine a book. With all kindest remembrances to Mrs Bram Stoker and yourself Yours very truly A Conan Doyle.

And here is a link to an interview (that's too long for me to put here) that Stoker did with Doyle about his life and upcoming marriage, which he attended. The website itself has a lot of interesting information, if anyone wants to poke around.

So yeah, a cool connection between two interesting people, both in the real world and the world of fiction.

Those "Sherlock Holmes is public domain and can freely be in any crossover now" memes made me think of how he'd be involved in Dracula because the characters, Jonathan and Mina especially, are incredibly suspicious

-On the 17th of August Mina says that Hawkins took Jonathan and Mina to his own house and wants them both to live there with him, informing them that it's theirs in his will. He said, "I have left to me neither chick nor child; all are gone". So all blood relatives are gone... how did they all disappear? And so, the law firm will belong to Jonathan once he's also gone, too.

-The very next day he's dead. Mina and Jonathan are homeowners now, and Jonathan owns the business. She says Hawkins "left him a fortune which to people of our modest bringing up is wealth beyond the dream of avarice". There seems to have been a longing for financial stability they never had, now resolved.

-A few weeks later, Jonathan is seen around the city and at the docks with a weapon asking for the whereabouts of an aristocrat, bribing sailors, and lurking around houses with a bunch of men. He disappears with his wife for over a month.

And when he returns it must have been a sight

Law firm employee 1: I'm telling you these two orphans murdered the boss and maybe his entire family! And where have they been for this long?

Law firm employee 2: Come on, Harker has always been such a meek, peaceful kid and-

Jonathan, shellshocked, knife at the hip, gaze that says "Just killed a man and looked at him in the eye as he turned to ash": Sorry I kept you waiting I'm back now :)

Law firm employees: Welcome back Sir we are loyal to you till death and will never ever question your actions or motives!

So someone especially brave goes and lets Sherlock Holmes know about this solicitor and his highly intelligent wife who is probably behind everything.

What makes you love Martin so much?

Oh hi. Thanks for the question. 😀 I kind of answered this question before here, but I thought I'd take a more visual approach this time.

His eyes

His smile

His passion for music

His pecs

His wink

His taste in fashion

His 'rudeness'

The Freetongue™

The Freebeard™

Arms!!!

Hips!

His laughter

Swearing (which I find very unattractive and annoying in other people)

His hair

Ok, I am going to stop myself here because HNNG. 🥵

Thanks for this lovely question, it was a lot of fun to answer it like this. 😀

On the whole, then, it was best that I should risk the climb. It was not a pleasant business, Watson. The fall roared beneath me. I am not a fanciful person, but I give you my word that I seemed to hear Moriarty's voice screaming at me out of the abyss. A mistake would have been fatal. More than once, as tufts of grass came out in my hand or my foot slipped in the wet notches of the rock, I thought that I was gone.

If I had a nickel for each Victorian blorbo daring a horrifying, near-impossible climb rather than face death, a goodbye to their most loved one still heavy in their heart, every few minutes or seconds being flooded with this is the end, I would have two nickels—

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jonathan: This is your area of expertise, isn’t it, Mr. Holmes? What can you make of this?

Panel 2

Holmes: No blood…There’s this yellow fluid on it, though. Can’t say I recognize it…

Panel 3

Griffin: That is his blood. It was still leaking out of his head when he ran off. By the way, who the hell are you?

Panel 4

Holmes: Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective. And my partner, Dr. John Watson. Say, if I may ask—

Panel 5

Griffin: A detective? *cough* You lot never said anything about a detective!

Panel 6

Irene: Not to worry, Mr. Griffin. I am quite confident that Mr. Holmes understands the need for discretion.

Panel 7

Holmes: Er—yes, of course. Ahem…if I may be so bold, you’ve quite piqued my curiosity, Mr. Griffin. May I ask how you achieved the illusion of invisibility so effectively?

Panel 8

Griffin: Illusion? Ha! It’s no illusion. *cough* You want to know how I did it? I bet you do. Well, it’s a simple application of—*cough cough cough hack*

Jack: Right, that’s enough.

Panel 9

Jack: It’s past time you were back to bed—you’ve barely started to recover.

Griffin: Oh c’mon, let me finish! As I was saying— *COUGH* —it’s based on a modification of the light refraction indexes of—

Panel 10

Griffin (offscreen): Let me go! I’m an eyewitness! Your detective’ll want my— *cough* —testimony! I’m not— *COUGH COUGH* —that sick!

Watson: Rather an extraordinary collection of gentlefolk you’ve managed to gather, Mrs. Norton.

Irene: Indeed…
