Holmes and Watson / Tristan and Isolde

BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes, The Devil's Foot (radio drama transcript) /// Granada's The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Red Circle /// Metafictional Monday: Tristan und Isolde, @teaformrholmes /// Brayton Polka, LIEBESTOD: On Love and Death in Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde", p. 246 /// The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Vincent Starrett /// BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes, The Devil's Foot (radio drama transcript)

#this is so niche but I have to trust there's an audience for it #it's about characters being immortalised by the audience. it's about a love that is only realised in the minds of the viewer #there's an extra layer to how isolde never hears the resolution of this chord and so only the audience can witness their union or something #and in granada the chord remains unresolved and transitions into the show's theme as holmes stares into the camera #as if he's asking the audience if the chord is resolved - if his love is requited #but idk enough about opera to explain it and the guy who wrote that jstor article knows too much about opera to articulate it clearly #also bert coules was fucking insane for this #at least there's a canon basis for holmes & watson watching a wagner show in the red circle but bbc4 pulls it out of nowhere in devils foot #sherlock holmes #bbc4 sherlock holmes #granada holmes #granada johnlock #johnlock #acd johnlock #tristan and isolde
