Sherlock: 8 Other Alternative Sherlock Holmes Adaptations

4. Star Trek: The Next Generation €“ 'Elementary, Dear Data'

In an unusual edition of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data and La Forge get bored on the Enterprise one day and decide to use the ship's Holodeck to play at being Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. As a fan of the character, Data is a master detective, solving ever mystery he faces. To test him, the rest of the crew create a simulation of Professor Moriarty to give him a run for his money.
