The third series of the program, currently scheduled for filming in 2013, likely will continue to illustrate the affinity between the Holmes canon and science fiction.
Sherlock and Science Fiction
In Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901-1902), Sherlock Holmes notes, “We balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination.” This is an elegant description of what Conan Doyle did, and what creators today continue to do, with Holmes. It is also an excellent characterization of the endeavor of science fiction itself: “the scientific use of the imagination.” As today’s world continues to blur the lines between science fiction and science fact, the Great Detective will remain as relevant and meaningful as ever, incorporated into the genre, figuratively and sometimes literally immortal.
