Latest News from the Feejees - 6

The second episode of the second series of BBC mysteries, Sherlock  (The Hounds of Baskerville), aired in the US tonight. It opens with Holmes bursting into his flat (at 221B, of course), blood-spattered and carrying a fine, toggle-headed harpoon(!).

Watson: You went on the tube like that?
Holmes: None of the cabs would take me!

So, what's the deal with the harpoon? Did I miss something?

    The scene with the harpoon is a reference to the canonical story 'The Adventure of Black Peter', which has exactly the same scene.

    Check out my review .

    Cheers!

      Thanks! I'll have to dust off my old Holmes collection.

      I enjoyed reading your posts on the "Cumberbatch" series. Did you review the last episode of the first season, "The Great Game"?
