The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – The Blue Carbuncle
- Title: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – The Blue Carbuncle
- wiki: link
Sherlock Saturday takes us back to 221 B Baker Street and the Granada Television’s faithful adaptations of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, the mystery involves the theft of a near-priceless gemstone, known as the Blue Carbuncle, which was stolen from the Countess of Morcar’s (Rosalind Knight) hotel room. The police arrest a known criminal seen at the hotel near the time of the robbery, however coming into the mystery by entirely different means (involving an abandoned goose and hat stumbled upon by Inspector Peterson during the owner’s run-in with ruffians), Holmes (Jeremy Brett) finds the missing gem literally dropped into his hands and spends the rest of the episode discovering how it ended up there.

I don’t understand the point of After the Hunt, and, after seeing it, I’m not sure anyone involved in making it knows either. Set at Yale, we get a he said/she said script from the perspective of neither character involved in an alleged assult that happens off-camera.
Instead, our main character is a mostly self-absorbed professor (Julia Roberts) who is the mentor of the a potentially untrustworthy woman (Ayo Edebiri) who we see steal from the professor early on claiming she was sexually assaulted, and at the same time the best friend of notably flirtatious man (Andrew Garfield) who suggests the young woman made up the entire story for attention and to deflect from her largely plagiarized work.
A bit frozen by events, and honestly more concerned about her own illegal drug use and getting tenure, Roberts’ character is given plenty of reason to question what might have happened (although, honestly, I’m not sure she cares).

The Phantom #1
- Title: The Phantom #1
- Writer: Ray Fawkes
- Artist: Russell Mark Olson
Originally created nearly 90 years ago, the Phantom gets a new lease on live in this new series from Mad Cave Studios. All the pieces of the classic character are included here as we see Kit Walker protecting the jungle and verbally sparring with Diana Palmer in-between action. The first issue also takes to the time to show how the Phantom is part of the local community, not only as their protector but a loyal friend.
