The Grand Moffat has spoken, according to this article, even though the fans of both shows have been asking for it, there will be no crossover between the two very popular shows, Doctor Who and Sherlock.

The Reason? Well see, this is where I think Mr. Moffat’s logic starts to fall apart. It is not because the two main characters are so similar that you would have a hard time finding a problem one could not solve on his own, no it is because if Sherlock lived in the same Universe as The Doctor, you would have to admit that time travel is possible and the Daleks have invaded the Earth. Apparently Moffat believes a Sherlock story cannot exist in a world where Time Travel is possible. Guess the Whoniverse is just too timey-Wimey for Sherlock.

A good crossover story would be extremely hard to write, especially if the sci-fi elements were kept at a minimum. But I believe it could be done. Maybe that is what Moffat is really saying, at least modernly, a typical Doctor Who story is anything but subtle. Do you agree?

As most people know, Steven Moffat has more projects than just Doctor Who. One such project is Sherlock.

Like Jekyll, this is a very smart, enjoyable reboot. Sherlock and Watson are recognizable as well as being believable 21st Century people. I do not want to launch into a full review yet, as this series has yet to air everywhere, but I will say that from what I saw, Benedict Cumberbatch would make an excellent Doctor some day. Ironically enough Matt Smith tried out for the part of Sherlock, and although he did not get that part, that audition did help him get on the radar for Doctor Who. So it might happen the other way round some day.

Have any of our readers seen this show yet? What did you think?
