* SalvagedStory: One element of the first novel that was unpopular with even those Doyle fans who generally liked it was the extremely patronising AdaptationalWimp portrayal of Dr. Watson, which was more extreme than even the average Holmes film adaptation. Although Watson has never played a big role in the series, some later books do hint that Russell's initial judgment of Watson was [[UnreliableNarrator hasty and adolescent]].

Holmes and Russel's relationship is far from platonic — they just don't feel the need to really advertise that fact (unless they want to make Mycroft squirm). Neither is Holmes gay, though he recognizes that his long-term bachelorhood left him open to that assumption for many years.
