An Ancestor of Mine

“as brilliant a record as his famous ancestor” [SILV]


In 2022, Bob Stek, BSI (“The Mysterious Scientist”) wrote a pastiche that connected the worlds of Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes. He wasn't alone in this thinking; as the lone Vulcan on the Enterprise, Spock consistently reminded others that he was governed by logic and did not allow emotions to affect his judgment.

Baker Street Elementary – That's Life

“The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand” [VEIL]

One of the most philosophical scenes in the Sherlock Holmes story takes place in "The Naval Treaty," when Holmes is reflecting on the existence of a higher power as he focuses on the natural beauty of a flower:
“What a lovely thing a rose is!”

He walked past the couch to the open window, and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. It was a new phase of his character to me,...
