Rewatching the NRSH

I came home for two weeks and now I am watching new Russian “Sherlock Holmes” with my parents, every evening, on their big flat-screen tv. (Hehehe.) 

I needed to rewatch the show because of all the Moriarty thing. [I hid the explanation under the cut.]

No need to say, I’m almost addicted to the show.

What I really like is the complexity of every episode. Almost every one of the cases is not what it appears to be at first. It is often hard to get to the core of the story, there are so many aspects of it, like a matryoshka doll, where you have one storyline, then there appears to be a new one, and another one, and another one, and all of them are actually a single coherent thing. That’s brilliant.

Potential spoilers under the cut.

First, the reason to re-watch, the Moriarty thing. I mean, I am Russian, but even I didn’t understand that Moriarty, who is played by the SAME actor, appears almost in every episode. First time watching the show I was like, “Oh, yeah, I saw this actor somewhere before...” YEAH, like, in the PREVIOUS EPISODE. 

I know that many people like the 2nd story (ep. 3-4), “Rock, paper, scissors”. But I have to say, for me it’s a torture to watch it. It was easy to see through Sholto’s corrupted mind, and it grew harder and harder to watch the story unfold, even for the second time. I would say it’s my least favourite story in this show, even though Watson in his military uniform looks stunning. 

I think that for me, my most favourite story is the 3rd, (ep.5-6), "Паяцы” (I’m sorry, I don’t know the English equivalent). 

For one thing, there is an interpreter in the story, and I love those two moments when they mentioned interpreters, because I’m doing my Major in interpreting and translation, and I couldn’t relate more.

Besides, in this episode we see the friendship/bromance between Watson and Holmes grow, and I loved those two moments when, first, Holmes tells Watson that phrase about “people trying to mould the world around them so that it would suit their taste”, trying to pick a fight, and Watson is first like “what???”, but then he uses that same phrase when he (the way I see it) tries to annoy Lestrade. And then again, second, Watson tells Holmes that he would sacrifice a life of one whore to save the lives of many men come war, and first Holmes hits him, but then he uses that same phrase before Moriarty. And, despite the fact that Holmes and Moriarty often say the same things, word by word, voice the same viewpoints, Holmes is on the side of angels, while Moriarty is not. But Watson and Holmes, even though they first don’t understand each other’s points of view, come to understand and accept these viewpoints. I can’t articulate why this difference in relations between Holmes-Watson and Holmes-Moriarty is important to me, I can’t usually come to a coherent conclusion, I am sorry.

And I believe it was in this very episode that in the beginning, when Watson does a voiceover of his diary, he says that Holmes is the perfect thinking machine and he would be the world’s most terrible lover, who doesn’t know a thing about human emotions. AND OMG, THAT VERY EPISODE, WHEN JOHN COMES TO HOLMES’ ROOM AND TELLS HOLMES IN THE SMALLEST VOICE, “HOLMES, I, AFTER ALL, LOST ANOTHER FRIEND TODAY”, AND HOLMES DOESN’T SEEM TO NOTICE HIS GRIEF, GRUMBLING ON AND ON ABOUT THE CASE. (Sorry for the Caps Lock...) And that made me think that Watson writes about Holmes’ insensitivity based on his own (not any woman’s, even Irene’s) experience! Oh, it does some wonderous things to my poor heart.

My second favourite story is the 5th (ep. 9-10), the Scottish castle one. I don’t remember reading it when I read the ACD stories as a child, so I should definitely revisit the books, but I still noticed the faint echoes of the “Hound of the Baskervilles” story. And who doesn’t like a spooky ghost story? (And fabulous Yarmol’nick?)

Among all the cute things, like my boys in kilts, sword in the stone reference, “okay” as a slang word, and Watson petting a hen, I greatly enjoyed the fact that despite all his “ghosts are nonsense” talk John reads the family history books and gets scared of ghosts, while Holmes, as we learn by the end of the story, actually conducts his own investigation by exploring the tunnels and going to the village and asking people questions. So while Watson is more absorbed in the matters of heart and emotion, Holmes uses his logic to unravel the truth.

(We didn’t watch past this episode yet, today we are watching “Halifax”, I might or might not write some more on what I think about the episodes.)

The other two things I would like to share:

1) I didn’t know that I like people trolling Shakespeare before I saw this show. Trolling one of the most influencial writers of all times, why not? xD

2) Only in the last episode did I understand that the strange noise I had sometimes heard was Holmes’ laughter. Now that I am more aware of it, I can finally notice when he laughs -- especially when it’s relevant to the case, like in the “Musgrave Ritual” story.

taemin’s goodbye stage i…i dont even know how to say this bc there are no words to described how i feel. like i was so immersed in his performance that i forgot to wave my lightstick. i just couldnt stop staring at him??? some people were born to perform nd that person was lee taemin. that high note took me There 

minho is the new dancing machine taemin is Cancelled (no jk aljfsda) but for real his dance break in lucifer was so hype! i wish i could have gotten a video of it but that security lady was out to get me istg. if you see it watch it !!

omg jongyu’s duet… to hear it in the flesh… it was like their voices were made for one another. they both had their eyes closed and were so into it like that was more beautiful than a new born puppy. god i just want to keep hearing it over and over again

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WHOLE ENTIRE SHOW WAS taemin was talking about, you know, how he was feeling about the show and being in dallas again nD KEY BROUGHT BACK UP THE DAMN GUCCI CLOSES BURNING nd taemin went “we aren’t talking about that” I LAUGHED SO HARD I SNORTED AND OFC TAEMIN WAS TOO. he’s such a little shit jklafsda

jonghyun said that he loved our energy!! he said that the reason they were trying so hard for us was because of it and he wanted us to have a good show. well jong congrats i had the best evening of my entire 19 years of living on this god forsaken planet

TAEMIN STRUGGLED SO MUCH TRYING TO INTRODUCE THE NEW SONG AND HE GOT SO FLUSTERED IT WAS SO ADORABLE IM PROUD OF HIM

i have like 1905233 pics of onew doing his windmill but look at him Go!! he’s doing That 

at the end they were all saying their goodbyes and telling us how much they enjoyed us and dallas! i think it was either jong or key but they said they definitely want to come back so you know my annoying ass will be there again to see shining shinee. ALSO THEY SAID TO EXPECT GREAT MUSIC SOON SO YALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. they bowed to us and thats when the tears started happening again. it truly was such a magical evening and im so sad that it has already ended. i cant wait to see you boys again! please stay safe and healthy for the rest of 2017 and on!!
