Oh, gosh, how I hate that word, but thank you, you're right. .... Although now I've also forgotten why I wanted to use it >_> ... <_<

For some reason, it reminds me of homunculus....

For some reason, it reminds me of homunculus.... SAME. Don't know why. But every time I read it, my brain jumps to the definition of homunculus, then backtracks. Um... nice to know we're similarly mistaken? |

It's probably the Latin association, and/or the fact that they both have harsh consonants in the middle.

I'm going with the consonant excuse. Because every 10-letter word with harsh consonants in the middle secretly means the same thing. Obviously.

Has anyone else seen the 90's TV show version, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century? It's kind of on the cheesy side, and Robo-Watson does come off as a bumbling idiot at times, but it's what captured my imagination as a kid and made me a live long Holmes fan. <3

BUT I STILL LOVE(D) IT. Sherlock was dashing. Also, intro theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkn8n18yS7A |

I've been reading A Study in Scarlet over the Winter Break and it's rather frightening how Moffat included all the little details in "A Study in Pink." For example: Sherlock beating cadavers with a cane. In Sherlock, this is the first scene we see the titular character (if I recall correctly). If you haven't read anything about Holmes, you might be taken aback by these events - it's out of the ordinary, strange, and taboo in Western civilization to abuse the dead like that. Moffat basically shocks us into Sherlock's character with this brief scene. Sherlock is not like you and I (intellectually, emotionally, socially, or any other -ly) at this point, and thus he is unrestrained by the social conventions you and I are pressured into every day. So by introducing Sherlock in this way, we are immediately left to associate him as Different. It would shock the layman to learn that Doyle included this detail in his original text, I imagine.

I think that out of all six (omg only six??!!!) episodes, my favorite was definitely The Scandal in Belgravia.
I also love, love how the incorporate allusions into the episodes.
