Last year I watched the first episode of the "Elementary" on CBS and also watched the episode when Holmes went back to England. There is no explanation of how he magically appeared in the 21st century. I've spent over a year periodically doing google searches for an answer and am getting really frustrated. What the hell is going on? How the hell did Holmes magically get from the 1800s to 2012? 2012 is the year the show first appeared on CBS's schedule.
CBS and the TV series owe us an answer.
I have come up with some possible scenarios:
1) He used a time machine.
2) He was drugged and slept for over 100 years.
3) He is the real Sherlock Holmes great-great-great-great grandson.
Sherlock Holmes was born January 6, 1854! There is no natural way he could be in our century. I refuse to watch another episode until I get an answer. At least Science Fiction shows explain how things are possible, having a show like this with no explanation at all is unforgivable in my opinion.
Does anyone have the inside scoop as to how Sherlock Homes ended up in 2012, he sure doesn't look 158 years old to me!
