Since it's a Holmes and Watson free-for-all this weekend, and one thing we are allowed to do is start a debate, I want to put forward a question I've been pondering: I've watched (and thoroughly enjoyed!) about half of the Russian Sherlock Holmes television series, and I keep asking myself, "Why?" I don't know too much about the USSR, but I do believe that the government had a lot of say in what was shown on television. I cannot fathom why the government should want such a thoroughly British story to be made into a television show. Maybe my mistake is to assume that there has to be some sort of Soviet sanctioned message in the show? I don't really know enough about Russia or communism in Russia either to interpret what's going on (e.g. what are we to make of Sir Henry Baskerville? Or Mrs. Barrymore? or Watson?--he's a mystery to me because he's adorable, but terribly childish at times, and he's always eating...) or to know how it might fit into a possible political message. And I do want to make clear that I don't mean this to become a debate about communism...I'm just really intrigued by the notion of a Soviet Sherlock Holmes, and I'm hoping that other, hopefully better informed, members of this community have considered it, too. Any thoughts? Tags: birthday: first, movie/tv canon, mystery

I'm writing a fic, and have looked around the net, and perused the questions tag in here, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. So I have some questions, It might be really obvious, in which case sorry, or maybe nobody knows, but it won't hurt to ask. 1. The tree in the anime series, the one up in on the hill, the tree where the first King met the Great Sage for the first time. Does it have a name? Does the hill have a name? In my head it's just big tree on hill overlooking city. It seems to have some signficance so I always wondered if it had a name. 2. A map of Shin Makoku, I cannot find one, and I know in the anime series one was shown to Yuuri with all the Provinces and which Aristrocratic family ruled over which, etc, etc. Is there one online? Come to think of it, is there a map online of the human countries that surround Shin Makoku? 3. We have Yuuri from earth, who came from Japan. Then we have Shin Makoku a country which...is on a world which is in another dimension, on another planet in the Universe?? Maybe. Does the world, the planet that Shin Makoku is on have a name? 4. This is the one lazy question tagged on, but is there one website with an English translation of the books?? And FINALLY, a random observation, Yuuri is the 27th Maou, the 27th King. And the first King was from 4,000 years ago. Now, if the mazoku people live for very long lives, let's just say 300 years, or even 300 years of being the Maou/King/Queen, then looking at the maths, it doesn't add up, Yuuri should only be the 13th or 14th Maou. I can only conclude that a lot of the previous Maous died young, perhaps they were knocked off by someone. It just really odd. If anyone could answer any of those questions, or at least tell me that it doesn't exist anywhere, that would be most appreciated :) Tags: questions
