You've covered quite a lot of Sherlockian incarnations here and it was done all so well!

This, agh, THIS. I've been raised on Sherlock since I was old enough to sit still for an hour while my dad would read them to me. Since then, I've seen many a version of Holmes and Watson, and all of them bring something special to the table (well, I could never really get behind the Rathbo/Bruce versions, but I recognize their cultural importance, haha). But at the end of the day, it was the Granada and Lenfilm versions that stuck in my heart, with Jeremy Brett and Vitaly Solomin being the iconic Holmes and Watson for me (yes, I crossed factions lol). Then the new BBC Sherlock arrived, and I had to add a third slot to my list, because Benedict and Martin are just brilliant.

Anyway, I said all that to say that this picture that just makes me smile in the most basic and sentimental of ways. A genealogy of friendship, I like that, cause they are each of them important and affect the next however different they may be, but the one thing that remains is the bond between Holmes and Watson. The whole family photo thing works perfectly, even Basil and Dr. Dawson blending in seamlessly by looking like some children's drawings taped up amid the photos. All in all, I just love this :D

Total Sherlock fangirl... My favorites are Basil Rathbone, Basil of Baker Street, and Benedict Cumberbatch. (In no particular order.) :dance:
