"As a joke, Arthur Conan Doyle once sent five letters to five friends that read, “We are discovered, flee immediately”, to see what they would do. One of them disappeared and Conan Doyle never saw him again."

another thing Elementary did well:

“I have never loved, Watson, but if I did and if the woman I loved had met such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion- hunter has done. Who knows?”

Sherlock Holmes, the Adventure of the Devil’s Foot

Basically, Sherlock Holmes says he completely understands torturing and murdering a dude who has tortured and murdered the woman he loves.  If he loved.  As he did in Elementary—love Irene, that is.

Still LIVID about the fridging, don’t get me wrong.  But Sherlock’s actions concerning Moran in M?  Completely ACD canonical.
