The Hounds of Baskerville ~ S2 : E2

Sherlock and John both looked so good in THOB. I sometimes wonder why... was it some different makeup style or cinematography? I don't know.

I really loved the wide shots of nature in Dartmoor, too.

Hey Lovely!!!

AGREEEEED!!! I LOVED just... John looked REALLY good in that one... Like I LOVE that green coat he has, and Sherlock is just so... magical, LOL. A fantastic episode with FANTASTIC makeup work. I wish S4 looked that good lol

Rewatching Sherlock in 2024: Series 2

Rewatching Sherlock in 2024: Series 1

I have zero questions to my young self, a 14-year-old girl, who fell in love with Sherlock. I’m afraid my obsession with the show (and especially Johnlock) will last forever.

A Scandal in Belgravia (ASiB) was the first episode of Sherlock that I watched until the end. The winter of 2012, my TV didn’t work well, I barely saw anything on the screen, but I didn’t care. I fell in love with the show at the second sight. (At the first sight it didn’t work out.)

It seems like I never believed in Adlock. My (lesbian) heart went crazy over Irene Adler. That’s all.

I don’t know why but the flight of dead gives me chills.

The cinematography of The Hounds of Baskerville (THoB) is breathtaking.

Russell Tovey played Henry Knight so well! The moments of him going crazy hit me hard.

David Arnold and Michael Price are music geniuses. The main them of The Reichenbach Fall (TRF) breaks my heart. I immediately think of Sherlock’s fall and his final dialogue with John. /*crying*/

I can’t listen to the final dialogue between Sherlock and John. It sounds like a declaration of love. /*crying*/

In 2012 I cried watching Sherlock’s fall. In 2024 I just sit with my eyes wide open, being unable to breathe and move. Now I’m going back and forth like a ghost in my apartments. Seems like the heart was burnt out of me. TRF is definitely my favorite episode among all.

In 2012 I believed Moriarty had died but now I’m not sure at all.

I’ve never noticed that “the final problem” was mentioned so many times in TRF. As I see, this problem wasn’t solved in TRF. Also, it wasn’t solved in TFP. This problem hasn’t been solved in any series. Maybe it will be solved in Series 5?

The Two Deaths of John Watson

- A BBC Sherlock Fanart by Starry

[iseathegalaxy]

peak television is when a detective comedy does a serial killer/kidnapper storyline that spans across multiple episodes throughout multiple seasons where the perp is fixated on the happy-go-lucky protagonist and things get serious™ and the comedy is toned down and it's soooo good

bonus points if they're a sherlock holmes adaptation

[meep-meep-richie]

he really went from being Sherlock Holmes to being John Watson

@possiblyimbiassed, it's a great meta! Thank you for your huge work analyzing DVDs.

The lying liars who lie

Years and years late to the party, I’ve finally gotten my hands on all the DVDs of BBC Sherlock, and I thought it would be fun to watch the extra material carefully, one piece after another, and also listen to at least some of the show makers’ commentary of the episodes. But at this point, after S4 where DVDs seemed to be a constant lying device in general, I tend to look at them with a bit more suspicious eyes…

I still love the show of course, but now that I’ve taken this deep dive into all the special features, I find them a truly hard thing to try to wrap my head around. Even this long after the fact, I’m amazed by the amount of shameless, self-congratulatory BS in the DVDs, where the people involved can’t have enough of complimenting each other and their show, while they skillfully avoid to discuss anything actually meaningful about the plot line. ;) For example, Moffat claims in the S2 DVD that “In fact, you’ll never see a more obsessively authentic version of Sherlock Holmes than this one”. But if we follow their light-hearted commentary, which basically takes the show at face value, I’d call that not just hyperbole, but an outright lie. If you want to see the ‘authentic’ stories from ACD’s work in this show, you’ll definitely need to go much deeper into the subtext and meta levels - neither of which are mentioned on these DVDs of course. Here’s my own (rather subjective) ‘review’ of the whole thing, trying to pinpoint why I view most of the commentary of the show from its own makers as an advanced art of deception. 

(My musings under the cut)
