#The Hound of the Baskervilles

[shizunification]

Peter Cushing in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) is something that can be so personal actually

“I was at Holmes’s elbow, and I glanced for an instant at his face. It was pale and exultant, his eyes shining brightly in the moonlight. But suddenly they started forward in a rigid, fixed stare, and his lips parted in amazement”

Listing my favorite things about Watson's first letter to Holmes in Baskervilles cause I love this format SO SO MUCH:

"My dear Holmes" ily standard letter greeting <3

How extensive he is in setting the scene. "Hey ik you told me to be brief and you don't really care about this but the views are SO lovely and I care about them so you WILL experience them as if you were here. Deal with it"

The delightful confirmation that watson STILL won't let sherlock live down that he used to be a geocentrist. King behavior. I like to think he pulls that card every time holmes gets a lil too cocky

ALL THE GOSSIP SHARING

The genuine care watson has for literally everyone around him and how he expresses it. Ily watson <3

"You would find him an interesting study" GODD this little domesticity of how well they know each other is everything to me

RIP WATSON YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THE CONCEPT OF SHIPPING

This man is such a romantic. Very important to the case that Sir Henry and Miss Stapleton shared some most intimate looks

I bet he reads Jane Austen

"See, Holmes, I know you told me to never leave Sir Henry but!! Have you considered!!! I CANNOT be a third wheel they're SO cute together!!! Unrelated but I already appointed myself as the wedding planner. This is helping us in the case."

"You are aware that I am not a very sound sleeper" fuck!! FUCK!!!

John writing his reports for Sherlock in “The Hound of the Baskervilles”: “the butler, Barrymore, who is by the way very handsome and I’m sure the reason his wife is so upset is that he’s cheating on her, lots of people would be attracted to him because he’s so big and strong, and he has such a nice beard…”

I love the Granada adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles (did I want to see David Burke give it a go? Yes. Do I adore Edward Hardwicke in his Country Watson fashion? Very much also yes) for one specific reason

You have Kristoffer Tabori as Sir Henry Baskerville, aged 36 (he was born in 1952 and Granada's Hound came out in 1988), and then Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke aged 54 and 56 respectively, already older than their characters ought to be with Hound taking place around 1888(?) and Holmes retiring at 50 in the early 1900s

And this age gap completely alters the dynamic of the three characters; there's still a level of camaraderie, and respect for Sir Henry’s station, but otherwise it shifts into a parental, almost fatherly level of protectiveness on Holmes and Watson's part

They are much older than Sir Henry, older than Dr Mortimer, older than the Stapletons (Beryl Stapleton's actress was only 22!), and they become the de facto guardians of every victim caught in this terrible mystery

We get some lovely examples near the end, when Sir Henry has just been attacked, and Holmes holds him, rocks him, and assures him that everything is alright

Holmes, who doesn't really embrace people other than those he's particularly close to (e.g. when he returns in The Empty House and Mrs Hudson hugs him and cries)

Then, when he and Watson find Beryl Stapleton and rescue her, he does the same - and, at this point, these two have never met before! But we know how Holmes has a tendency to adopt young women in peril

I don't know, I just think it's neat

Every time a new episode of Sherlock & Co. comes out, I can't help but get extremely excited for Mycroft to be eventually introduced and for The Hound of The Baskervilles case to happen. I really hope that they handle Mycroft's character well, like the Granada series did, and don't make he and Sherlock basically despise eachother in rivalry like BBC's Sherlock. And The Hound of The Baskervilles is just my favorite story in the original canon, and I can't help but beg and imagine Jonk hearing the legend of the Baskerville curse and saying "oh, so it's definitely werewolves, right?"

pov you’re sir henry baskerville ☠️
