sherlock feeling it necessary to track john's piss output during stag night was a lot and i just feel that we're not talking about it nearly enough

[gasogene]

it's getting the actors back together that's the problem > sherlock isn't their highest-paying gig now > we still have the set somewhere > we have an idea it's to go back and do it all over again but a bit more specific than that > it'd take money to go back > it would have to be superlative to what we've already done > i'd do it again but i'd need to see a script

Whatever you do don’t think about Lestrade spending two years kicking himself for having his faith shaken so easily. Don’t think about the first case where he needs help and doesn’t even realize until after he’s sent the text that he won’t get a response anymore. Dont think about how he probably only saw John once in those two years. Don’t think about him watching Anderson descend into guilt-racked madness and lose everything, and wanting to both throttle him for causing this and comfort him because he’s damn close to that same edge. And don’t think about the moment Lestrade found out that by jumping Sherlock saved his life, too. Just don’t think about Lestrade in those two years.

“I think you always have to remember that, of all the people that Sherlock Holmes ever met, this is the one he chose to rely on. In the judgment of a genius, this is a brilliant man. He’s not a brain, but Sherlock doesn’t need another brain. He needs the most reliable, competent, dependable human being in the world.”

— Mark Gatiss about John Watson, The Sherlock Chronicles (via johnlockfulfillment)

The gelatin in film stock was made from the hide, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue of calves (considered the very best), sheep (less desirable), and other animals who passed through the slaughterhouse. Six kilograms of bone went into a single kilogram of gelatin. Eventually, the demands of photographic industries generated so much need for animal byproducts that slaughterhouses became integrated into the photographic production chain. Controlling the supply chain became key to Kodak's success. In 1882, as Kodak began to grow as a company, widespread complaints of fogged and darkened plates stopped production. The crisis almost ruined Kodak financially and resulted in the company tightly monitoring the animal by-products used in gelatin. Decades later, a Kodak emulsion scientist discovered that cattle who consumed mustard seed metabolized a sulfuric substance, enhancing the light sensitivity of silver halides and enabling better film speeds. The poor-quality gelatin in 1882 was due to the lack of mustard seeds in the cows' diet. The head of research at Kodak, Dr. C. E. Kenneth Mees, concluded, "If cows didn't like mustard there wouldn't be any movies at all." By controlling the diet of cows who were used to make gelatin, Kodak ensured the quality of its film stock. As literary scholar Nicole Shukin reflects, there is a "transfer of life from animal body to technological media." The image comes alive through animal death, carried along by the work of ranchers, meatpackers, and Kodak production workers.
