95 Theses in Elementary

In the CBS TV show Elementary, a fictional series about Sherlock Holmes, the 95 Theses are mentioned. The 95 Theses, as we learned in class in Semester 1, was a document written in German by Martin Luther. These theses, pinned up to a church door in Germany, started what is now known as the Protestant Reformation. The world was forever changed by these 95 Theses, consisting of a list of complaints Luther had for the Catholic church. Among these complaints were outcries of greed and unfairness, as the Church was charging money for pardons from sin, among other controversial areas.
The original document, written in German.

As important as these documents were, one could not make a mistake. There were multiple drafts created by Luther that were never found. These documents would be priceless. This is the reason Sherlock wants them, or rather a black market dealer. Sherlock manages to make fake documents which would be easily detectable, but still could pass under quick inspection. He does this because, as explained in the episode, it ties to the murder of a man a couple of years ago. Sherlock explains that the only way to get to a notorious black market dealer is to offer something he likes, and the rough drafts of the 95 Theses would suffice.
You can find the full episode for free with ads at http://www.cbs.com/shows/elementary/video/TSV31y0VD4hLiOGHfkWLFHRXZirt_zmQ/elementary-dead-clade-walking . There are many parts of the episode that are explained earlier and would not make sense to a first time viewer, so if you want to skip to the good stuff go to the 20 minute mark. Sherlock should be spraying pieces of paper to make them look authentic.
I thought it was really cool to see a reference to History class in a TV show. You don't really get much in the way of education on TV nowadays, so to have something connect to class was interesting.
