Sherlock Holmes (BBC version)
I'm a really big fan of Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch and I was wondering if anyone else has seen the new series and thoughts on the series.
|
When the first episode of the season aired, we all sat around to watch. I was a little skeptical at first because we've had a really great run of shit shows. Plus it was during the whole vampire trend, so I wasn't much in the mood. But my God, what a surprise! I really loved the cg effects, and the filming styles; it's not only very aesthetically pleasing to watch, but they added in some nice humor and great writers for the characters.
I'm entirely pleased with the show. |
Glad your pleased with the show Jupiter it is awesome! I loved the very first episode to.
|
It's my favorite. I love all the ACD canon references! [heart]
|
ACD canon sorry i'm so clueless sometimes, the episode called a scandal in boleria was really good.
|
Arthur Conan Doyle; references to the books were made in the show.
|
It's so well made, especially the cinematography is so pretty.. I like this show a lot except for Irene Adler. Her character is just something writers can't handle, even on this century.
|
SPOILER ALERT!
I like Irene but at the same time, I don't. In ASiB, the idea that the priest disguise means Sherlock’s deliberately celibate is intentional I’m pretty sure, but I read all of ASiB as Irene basically forcing sexual stuff on him and causing him distress and turning him off to sex. So she shows up naked without asking, aggressively takes his collar, literally drugs and beats him without his consent, then deduces to him while he’s helpless (when the show has a running subtext that deducing is analogous to sex for Sherlock) which combined with the drugging and beating is sort of like metaphorical rape :-/, then threatens to beat him until he begs for mercy, and then brings up sex again even when he’s clearly not interested (he’s visibly irritated when she asks, “Have you ever had anyone?”) by the fireplace and grabs his wrist, etc. Irene’s behavior is, to put it mildly, incredibly uncool. |
@Phaena: Oh ok sorry I was tired the day I read that. I thought it was weird that Irene was a dominatrix. I know in the other stories she was an opera singer. While she did still outsmart Holmes it is really sad that she drugged him. Good thing Watson was there or who knows what would have happened.

Thieving this thread. [ninja]
Third season just became available on Netflix and I'm watching... rather bingeing. XD I have to say the interactions are hysterical. The snark from Sherlock is rich and wonderful. And we're in fits laughing. |
I'm just about finished with S03E03 and HOLY POOP.
This season blew my mind! :o |
I've already watched the third season, but I'm going to again, because WHY NOT I'm going to watch the behind the scenes, because I love BTS's. |
SPOILER ALERT
When Mary shot Sherlock I was like, "Is this really how it's going to end? Mary's gonna be the one that ends the great Sherlock Holmes?" Also, I was very angry that John forgave Mary so easily. I know she only shot Sherlock because she had to, and she didn't shoot to kill, but OHMYGOD. Did anyone else freak out when she turned around? I was so angry with her! Stupid John, being attracted to psychopaths. I can't wait for S04! |
Oh wait I don't think I saw that episode I'm still in the second season.
|
Uh oh, hide it, OW! D:! SPOILER |
Okay first things first, I love benedict cumberbatch. He is mine. None of yalls. Just saying. (lol jk)
I love Sherlock. It's a good show and, to me, you can't get much better. I sat and watched the whole show over in a day when the third season came onto Netflix lol. I am such a spaz!!! |
You do have to take it into consideration the life that John has lived. He was a war doctor and his best friend is sociopathic adventure seeking junkie. In a way he is too. And it's something they talk about. He's seen the very worst in humanity and knows that life can and will go on. He loves her even if she had done something so terrible, he still loves Sherlock despite all the shit he's done too! :p
|
Yeah especially after the reichenbach fall that was a good episode I just watched it last night. I do feel bad about what John is going through without Sherlock.
|
Just started this today. I am soooo not used to a show this long. On episode 2 S2 and I can't quit checking the time to see if I'm still watching the same episode. I have the feeling I'll be like every other drooling fan soon enough, and dear god is anyone else in love with how many unintelligible lines there are in the Netflix subtitles? I'm not entirely sure if it's on purpose or if they just can't keep up.
Also, I hate myself right now. This is the first time in a good four years or so that a show has made me want to sit down and write a fanfiction. Two different ones actually. It's this what it's like to merge into a fandom again? I haven't gone through this since I first found Supernatural and Doctor Who. The first time of course being Harry Potter. It's like the four-corner mafias of the known entertainment universe. |
Yeah I'm so glad you like the show alot of people seem to do fanfics that involve sherlock and watson.
|
Like, Sherlock/Watson? I'm not huge into slash. Especially when canon is set against it. I never understood people who claimed to love characters and would then proceed to bend that character out of their own wills in order to suit the person's desires/needs. I saw a "Helsa" video on youtube the other day and... I just...
|
Yeah people do that alot ship sherlock and watson its really weird.
|
Oh gods the Johnlock everywhere. [headdesk] |
Wait- isn't that third one supposed to be Marmor or Mormar. Or is Sherlock's brother Mycroft, or Morcroft... I am so confused.
I want season fooooooour. And the way time passes and can't wait to see Watson and Mary's baby explode through growth. I mean it was almost seven months between 3-2 and 3-3. They tied it, then Christmas! Yaaaay. Dat. Second. Episode. Though... It might just be my favorite because I really want to watch it again. "Maybe it was the invisible man?" "You just earned yourself a decapitated nun!" |
Mormor = James/Jim Moriarty and Sebastian Moran, which is funny because Moran hasn't even appeared in the BBC series yet. [XD] |
