Who was the real Moriarty? (Part 1) |Stuff You Missed In History Class (Podcast)

Who was the real Moriarty (Part 2) 

Who was the real Sherlock Holmes? (As posted earlier) 

I really recommend this for those interested! These are all podcasts (about 30 mins). The two hosts of the show introduce you to which real life persons most likely inspired Sir Doyle when giving birth to his characters. Enjoy! 

Sherlockians: Get your act together

Yes, this is about ‘Elementary’ - or rather all the hate that follows. 
I am glad that so many people seem to have an opinion about the show - I think it’s interesting to read what other people see in the preview and in the limited minutes of characterization we get to see. Some people like it, some people don’t. Some people say they’re thrilled - some say it’s not what they hoped for. And that’s okay. Both points of view are okay. You’re allowed to like it the same way as you’re allowed to dislike it. What’s not okay is to send hate in other people’s direction because they don’t have the ‘right’ opinion according to you. Hate is not okay. Hate is never okay. Of course you’re allowed to disagree with other people -  but there’s a difference between disagreeing and hating or attacking.  
We’re all part of the same family; we’re Sherlockians. We’re clever, mad and rational. We have a good reputation. Crazy, but good. Why are we behaving like this? It doesn’t have to be this way. 
This is the responsibility of us all: No matter opinion. No matter whether you like it or dislike it.
All right? I love you all. Brilliant, brilliant fandom.

Hi! just wanted to share it, found it in my English textbook. I bought it last year though so it wasn’t inspired by the bbc production but I thought it was quite funny. :D

It’s unbelievable! High-res.

Stuff You Missed in History Class| Who was the real Sherlock Holmes? 

Arthur Conan Doyle wasn’t the first person to write a mystery novel, but his focus on scientific methods and brilliant protagonist made the stories of Sherlock Holmes world-famous. Yet is Sherlock Holmes based on a real person?

Recommending this for those  interested.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
