Can we all say thank you to Granada Holmes for showing Holmes and Watson reacting this way to a blackmailer bringing up how he destroyed a gay man’s life?
#the rage here? damn#I really appreciate that they made the effort to include that#because this sort of reaction would not be common at all#maybe people would feel sympathy for his wife and go#“oh that’s too bad#but this kind of kindness towards a gay victim is really extraordinary for a piece set in Victorian England#and also Milverton’s reaction to their reaction!#he seems interested by the fact that he’s hit their weak spot and even calls out holmes for being irrational and emotional about it#granada holmes#johnlock#jeremy brett#john watson#granada johnlock#the master blackmailer#happy pride#my post

Me and bestie watching as the person we came to burgle gets shot six times and fucking dies (the only evidence left points to us)
#soviet sherlock vs granada sherlocks handling of this story is so funny#one is super serious and deals with a gay mans suicide while focusing on how much of a monster the bad guy is#and then one is like a wes anderson movie#soviet sherlock#the master blackmailer#soviet sherlock holmes#sherlock holmes#john watson

Reblog and say in the tags which Sherlock Holmes stories haunt you. Not necessarily the ones you like best, but the ones that keep playing in your mind and make you toss and turn at night and pull your hair and sob into your pillow. Please. I need to feel more normal.
#for me it's#the devil's foot#the reigate squires#and of course#the final problem#the empty house#but that's to be expected#and the granada adaption of#charles augustus milverton#the master blackmailer

Can we talk about the fact that Holmes BATHES WITH THE DOOR OPEN while Watson is right there? And they're just having a conversation like they've done it a million times?
They're married, I swear
And it's not just that, it's the fact that Watson is technically GETTING CHANGED in front of Holmes??
Also... Holmes and Watson are both undressed? Sounds pretty HOMOSEXUAL to me 🤨🧐

Found this soft interaction in the Master Blackmailer episode - Holmes touches Watson's shoulder so tenderly! and its very brief part in frame, but you can see how Holmes' hand lingers on touching his shoulder even as he moves away <3
(spoilers in thoughts under readmore)
Watching this there are some wonderful moments of justified anger in it, I can see how much this case and the injustice wounds Holmes, and in turn stresses Watson (who's concern in Sherlock is also very justified, that even he himself says he went about the case in ways he's not proud of, in the end... poor Aggie made me laugh initially, but then feel burning second-hand shame at how Holmes used her during this case.) Robert Hardy is an amazing villain in this!!!! I got goosebumps from the way Milverton looked at people during this whole episode, like a predator sizing up its prey. Chilling

Okay so I am in fucking shambles over the entire Colonel Dorking thing in The Master Blackmailer. I have already read everything I could find about it on tumblr and will probably look for more analyses later but, like...
I need more opinions. I need more links. I need to know more.
Not gonna lie, I am kiiiiind of distraught about it.
And also... Holmes’s and Watson’s reaction to Dorking’s death??? And how other people talk about it???
I did not expect Granada Holmes to bring queerness into the episode like this.
#granada holmes#sherlock holmes#the master blackmailer#charles augustus milverton#also milverton can go to hell#if i have one criticism of the episode though -#holmes and watson did not hold hands#was really looking forward to that :(

So, when I wrote off the Granada series' attempts to make short stories into full-length motion pictures, I had not, to be clear, yet seen The Master Blackmailer. That one was superb. The expansions were utterly organic; not a paranormal phenomenon or dubious plot twist in sight.
Lottie... understated but brutal twist, to find she was acting that way not because of any redemptive scheme but because she is an absolute self-absorbed twit. At the barest minimum, you would think she should have some concern for Eva. Slap that girl.
It was Agatha that kept me from watching so long. But in fact, that plot was done as exactly right as such an obviously-wrong thing can be done.
There is only one great flaw: Milverton has v. cute kittycats. Distracts somewhat from his villainy. But that one's me.

Agatha had no right to be so wholesome in The Master Blackmailer.
