TV Tropes
I have to tell you, I'm committing a slight breach of netiquette in even linking directly to That Site. It is a time-suck extraordinaire, not so much a wiki walk as it is the pop-culture equivalent of Ulysses' trip home.
But I found this wonderful bit of of trivia: apparently, when reviewing the new BBC Sherlock Holmes' adaptation, a writer for Auntie Beeb assumed that Watson being a veteran of the war in Afghanistan was part of the modern updating of the story.
NOPE!
It's Afghanistan. Mind you, throw a dart at a timeline, there's probably a war in Afghanistan that year.
(Can I say that I adore the update? Also? Benedict Cumberbatch. Not only is his name fun to say, he's got a really nice voice. Apparently, he's done some books on tape that I will clearly need to find to soothe my commute...)
