      Unlike the BBC characterization of Sherlock as someone who cares only about the glory of "solving the puzzle" and doesn't give a shit about consequences, canon Sherlock cares a LOT about consequences

      It's not even just when the criminal is a sympathetic person, or their crime was justified The dude in The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle was a huge piece of shit who almost fucked up a lot of people's lives But he decided sending him to jail would do more harm than good

      It's a great scene too The guy is just shamelessly begging and whining and he just silently walks over and flings the door open "Get out" And the guy tries to thank him and he's all "Not one more word. Out!"

      That is sincerely one of my favorite parts of the cannon Holmes stories. That one, and the one where he gets a man to admit to catfishing his stepdaughter for her inheritance income, and then canes the shitstain all the way out the front door.

      Yup and he says he doesn't have any legal recourse against the guy that wouldn't cause the daughter to suffer further pain and humiliation but he's pretty certain the guy's gonna pull something else that sends him to the gallows someday

      Yep. I just always felt so ANGRY for the girl. And then really glad I was not born when 100 pounds (IIRC?) a year was worth destroying someone's life over.

      It's been over a decade since I've read them. I remember enjoying them but not much else! And now I've watched Sherlock, House, The Mentalist, parts of Elementary (barf), the movies, and The Great Mouse Detective. I should revisit the stories

      I almost want to say, abysmal personality flaws aside, House did Holmes pretty well. I'd say the thing it gets right the best is that the urge to investigate is part of an addictive personality that Holmes doesn't manage very well.

      That said, Holmes is obviously MUCH more of a functional human than House, and House needed to be punched about three times per episode, not to mention fired.

      One thing about Elementary that they zeroed in on was they were telling an *epilogue*, like this is Holmes after his brilliant heroic career landed in flames after Irene Adler's death broke his heart and shattered his confidence

      And House, too, is an epilogue, and the "serious" dramatic episodes of House were about that fact, that there was a time when House really was something you could call a hero, if a flawed one, but what he is now is the broken shell of that man

          Unfortunately the show couldn't give this idea, which was initially very compelling, any real stakes thanks to network demands to just keep the show going on forever with no changes to the status quo

          You can't keep this tension going over whether what we're watching is the final death throes of a once-great man or the beginning of his resurrection for *eight seasons* After the third fakeout over whether House was really gonna turn it around this time and get help I was done

          I hadn't thought about that take and that makes a lot of sense.
