As if this moment wasn’t already painful enough, I wanted to relive it from Sherlock’s pov. Look at the reverencial way in which he watches John make such intimate confession. Live those eternal seconds of silence from Sherlock’s perspective and tell me he doesn’t treat John’s feelings with the outmost respect, patience and understanding. He gives John the time and space he needs, watchful for the right moment to step in to offer him comfort.
The most human human being, indeed.
i’m crying now
This is it. This right here. This is who Sherlock is. Now you know.
I think I may have found the only other person on the planet who hates sherlock as much as I do
bless this
I’m only 5 minutes in and I’m CRYING
There’s a lot to unpack here, but I just have one thing to say regarding the ‘complaint’ that Moffat made the show too much about Sherlock. I think that was the point? It is titled Sherlock. I really don’t think they set out to film / retell the Casebook or the Adventures of. I really think their objective was to tell us about Sherlock.
Yes, this. It was their intention: Moffat wanted to shift the focus from the cases to the person itself, which is… an okay thing to do? I mean, not every Sherlock Holmes adaptation must follow the episodic format. I think it’s fine if you want to tell a story about the character(s) instead of the cases, if that’s where your fascination lies! And he was upfront about doing that. So complaining as first point about changing the original episodic format into an overarching plot line–where you see the character development because you story focuses on character, not plot–isn’t really a… too significant and valid criticism for me. Modernisation may not just mean using smartphones and the internet, it can also affect the storytelling. It did.
I think the problem therein, however, is located more in the failure of this character arc and Moffat’s tendency to–as the reviewer criticises he’s done in Jekyll and on Dr Who, when he wrote a full season–his tendency to hint at but never resolve a story. “Keep watching and you’ll find out about mystery a….. next episode: what mystery a? Here’s mystery b! Keep watching and maybe find out about mystery b….” etc etc ad nauseam
That they did this in Sherlock with the queer content is quite obvious.
The reviewer is funny though. “You’re watching a full minute of Sherlock being shitty on a case. Then you’re watching three minutes of sherlock being shitty at home!” Ajdkgk;;djgk 😂😂😂😂
Anyone have a link to that local news piece on Sherlock S4 from Australia? It was one of the first times we’d seen taped interviews with them about it. Martin looked gorgeous (but I think it was more of Benedict).
Is it just me, or is it strange to see a big-name actor NOT playing himself in an advertisement? I mean, I’m all for Martin making some cash, for sure, but it feels a little odd.
Ah! That makes much more sense if this will be one in a series of ads with this character!
It’s been a while, and I just need to check and make sure everyone in this fandom has witnessed the Sherlock Holmes routine from the Ukrainian So You Think You Can Dance
