Bull pup Maddie gets our news feed up to date with some events catch-up, bull pup Roxie double-takes "A Case of Identity," bull pup Buck has info on Holmes and bees you've NEVER heard before, and bull pup Calder should be fired for at least two things on this episode. It's an extra long one! (Well, for us!)

While it might be an American holiday weekend, Doctor Watson is still on his rounds. Sandy Kozinn does give us a version of Hound that poetically suits the Fourth, Paul answers Rob Nunn's burning question, and Madeline speculates on a Russian Watson's potential for rugby. Think the Literary Agent isn't taking ten percent of an episode like that? Think again!

This week we hear from the John H. Watson Society, who would clearly rather talk about Watson's army pension than his summer beach parties. Bull Pup Buck gives us a final, authoritative answer about Watson running with a wounded leg. Bull Pup Maddie decides a certain unpopped pea fan's sporty potential. And Bull Pup Roxie poetically chases the Hound. All this and the necessary ten percent cut for the Literary Agent, as always, the Colonel Tom Parker of Watson's Elvis-like literary stardom. (Disclaimer: Neither Parker nor Presley are mentioned in this episode. Move along.)

It's about Watson somehow. You know this show. And if you don't, WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

Are we slightly off our game this week? Well, some are some aren't, but here's your weekly dose of Watson, even if personally I think it needs a little ketchup.

This week, our Watson topics hit on a Broadway leading man, a royal execution, a guy named Arthur, and someone who had violet eyes but was not named "Violet." And it's all Watson lore and legend, as it should be! It's Watson time!

There was a meeting of the John H. Watson Society this week, so things get a little more random than usual. Eggs come up a lot. Watson's drink of choice. Nigel Bruce. Five Orange Pips. And that's just for starters.

Watson's many facets take us quite a few places this week -- from Kipling to a pirate we've never heard of to the atheleticism of Colin Blakely. And remember, once you've paid attention to something, you can't get a refund!

"What four patients did Dr. Watson would not want to have on his rounds?" is the Jeopardy answer to this week's title. You also get Valhalla and the real reason Moran shot at Holmes, in addition to those things, so now you definitely have to listen.
