And Star Trek even has a history book which the show(s) can only violate by creating alternate realities.
So are you saying we are now in an alternate reality where Sherlock Holmes was not born until the later 1900's instead of 1854?
Officially Sherlock Holmes didn't have a long life as he died May 4th, 1891. So perhaps someone made a clone with his DNA?
True anything can happen in fiction, but it must remain true to the original in my opinion or at least give a reason for violating the historical story line of the fictional character.
