:O
Could you enlighten me, please?
@thelivingroyale I don´t need to be all-canonical, but until the last episode, I really love all the modernized things, because I found them really intelligent and respectful with Doyle and their characters. In His Last Vow, those couple of things... worry me a little... :-?
That said, I still love the series and have faith in the next season...
Enlighten I shall
Fights in a pub: The Solitary Cyclist
Hangovers: Sherlock Holmes doesn't touch his breakfast on the 7th of January seemingly because he had a hangover from his (supposed) birthday on the 6th of January. It is also believed that in the opening of The Speckled Band Dr. Watson has a hangover, which led some to claim that the 31st of March was his birthday instead of the 7th of July.
I knew some of those and, frankly, not really canonical for me... :-? ;)
Obviously it wouldn't be clear and out in the open. That's not how Holmes works. Much of what we know about him (or suspect to know about him) is interpreted through context clues. That's the beauty of these characters though, and why we could dissect and investigate them for centuries to come as they have been for over a hundred years already.
The drunk Sherlock didn't bug me at all, regardless of what the canon says. Sherlock would do anything to make John happy, and he tried his best to be the best...best man he could (what a mouth full). He took on the job like a case, investigating every area and went to lengths that no other best man would do (see the serviettes) just to make John proud. Even the stag night was a science experiment to him, as he measured their alcohol intake and made the evening a study in how drinking affects the body's natural processes (like John's intake levels and how that related to his urination). He didn't just get drunk to get drunk. He scientifically manipulated the stag night to be the best it could be, though it didn't turn out too well. Still, Sherlock's efforts as best man reflect his determination to be the best at anything that comes his way, and the best man mission tested that in him as he took on new social conventions he wasn't aware of (like the stag night) and had no experience in. I loved it, and I laugh my arse off every time I watch it beyond all the characterization it gives to Sherlock.
Gotta love that fight in Cyclist.
"It was a straight left against a slogging ruffian."
And for all the people outraged at Sherlock's drinking, may we again look to the canon? This is a man who will refuse to eat because he believes digestion slows him down, uses cocaine to stimulate his brain when he can't get a case, and is completely willing to try a dangerous chemical he made to test its effects without any regard for his own personal safety, but when he chugs down a few beers we're crossing the line into un-canonical territory? Come on, now.
That's right Brady! In fact, I'm not completely sure (have to check), but I think he drank beer at a pub in Blue Carbuncle.
Yes, he ordered two beers (Watson was with him) and also said "Well, here's your good health, landlord, and prosperity to your house." I am assuming he drank his beer at the pub, having ordered and said what amounted to a drinking toast.
I think there is another instance in a pub, too; just cannot recall it at this moment.
Yes, I'm sure there is something else but I can't remember it either. Anyway he drank all sorts of thing in the books: wine, brandy, Port, tea, coffee, and some other things I won't delve much into.
By the way, I just saw some funny photos taken yesterday at the PGA awards I want to share. I give you Sherlock and Sherlock:
I think the Ritchie films were really okay - but that is because I especially like Robert and Jude in their roles. I heard the 3rd one is going to happen. I'll see if I can find out more on it ...
:-O :-O :-O :)) :)) :))
No, I know that was never written...
They were great fun, especially the first one. I think that although RDJ doesn't look at all like Sherlock is supposed to look he did a fantastic job and Jude Law is one of my favourite Dr. Watsons. The last thing I heard there was going to be a 3rd one, but nobody knows when.
What was never written?
I wonder if they compared Sherlocks? :D Its a great set of pics!
:D
Sorry, it was late I-)
:O :))
Was a bit disappointed to see that there is no audio commentary this time :( I haven't checked the special options or the documentaries so I can't comment on whether the change was worth it or not.
I watched The Empty Hearse right away. I had only watched it once and, as I commented at the time, with lots of distractions. I think I caught everything this time around.
When
Agree with #1 except I don't think the post-credits was a joke but simply another piece in the manipulation of the audience. Agree with #2. Not sure about #3, she was pissed off but I think she made her point almost painfully when she told him
Nope, isn't there. I hadn't even thought about it @bondfinger! They should have included it. There are a few nice documentaries in there but I would have preferred the audio commentaries nonetheless.
