Believe me, once you read the originals, there are a TON of canon references. This one was great though, they managed to get the dialogue very similar! My favourite is probably the pool, some of the dialogue is actually identical to the original stories!

Yeah, it's called "The Final Problem". I also think a bit of it is quite similar (though not as much as to be identical) to "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" (which you absolutely MUST read!), but that's just me.

Oh right, I've heard of The Final Problem! I'll have to get on that. :) And I read a summary of "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" and also read a bit of the end, and the shipper in me did a little dance.
