Every once in a while I think about the doors House MD has opened for us.
I don't know if this has been said or not but House MD is a pretty mind-blowing redesign of Sherlock Holmes as it is, and the reverse au isn't even complete.
Heres what I mean.
We've got Sherlock Holmes as a doctor. He's got his usual traits and then some. And then we've got a Watson who's amazing and I love him but he isn't really a Watson.
Because if we've got a doctor SH then we ought to get a retired police officer, now private eye JW. And since House got the addiction and the limp, this Watson should get something new too. I'm thinkin about looking more into his adrenalin addiction, because let's face it, there is stuff we could look into.
Or we could take some from Wilson and give him three ex wives and a baby that nobody asked for and none of those wives want to take care of the baby so now we've got a single father ex wife hoarder.
All in all I just think they could work. Whenever House/Sherlock is stuck on a case he goes to Wilson/Watson for input, and he will say things like 'Well this lock has definitely been tempered with so I think you should look into rare poisions' and then House/Sherlock yelps up with 'you are a genius, its bird flu from that parrot!' and rush away while Watson/Wilson just stands there like what??
Ok I hope this rambling was at least somewhat comprehensable bcuz I'm honestly not sure. But I had to get this off my chest because it was rotting my brain.
