This definitely veers in that direction, though as you say, it may be a leap for this story simply because it's not referenced until now (unless it's in the parts we haven't seen). I'm quite curious to see how you handle this as you go on.
As a side note, I had to laugh when I read the NYT review of the "Holmes" movie and came across this sentence:
Anachronistic as it might be, it isn’t hard to imagine Benedict Cumberbatch, the kinetic, intensely focused Sherlock of the BBC series, aging into this mellow codger. (The same can’t be said for the smirky action-hero version played by Robert Downey Jr. in Guy Ritchie’s tedious franchise.)
Smirky action hero--oh lord the new mfu trailer definitely stars a walking smirk.
no subject
