The Mystery of the Silver Blaze Wikipedia entry.

A very handy site for the follower of Elementary who hates to miss an episode is the Wikipedia episode list for the show, which serves as a show-specific TV guide for what is happening on a particular week. Since I've been saving up episodes for an eventual marathon of powering through the latest batch, I went out and checked the page this morning and found this curious entry:


Usually the page gives a two or three sentence synopsis of what the characters actually did during the case, but apparently this week the writer found the "Silver Blaze" nod significant enough to ignore the characters and steer folks to the story. The weird problem with this is the use of "The Mystery of the Silver Blaze" as the seeming title and the conclusion that "the cases were otherwise unconnected."

As with all Wikipedia entries, this one will probably be updated, tidied up, or rewritten eventually, but I enjoyed the curiousness of its present form that I wanted to preserve it for posterity here.

(I will continue to look forward to watching the episode, however, just to find out what a "Marchioness" is.)

  2. OMG they forgot to mention that Mycroft banged Watson, and how Mr. Elementary had deduced it, before badgering Watson into admitting it. We did however get to see a foal in a stall, but no Silver Blaze and no Aqueduct Race Track, how disappointing. Please CBS, I beg of you, to cancel this buffoonery you call "Elementary".
