Sherlock 2x01
Watching this for a second time tonight, thought I'd post some comments this time, because last time I was trying to just watch.
These will still probably not be terribly rational. Also, advance notice that I am watching this with my slash goggles SUPER MEGA ON.
-Moriarty's ringtone is "Stayin' Alive." *snerk*
-I didn't find him all that scary last season, particularly. But the sudden shift when he's on the phone, fairly calm to "SAY THAT AGAIN!" back to calm-ish is pretty scary.
-"If you have what you say you have, I will make you rich. If you don't, I'll make you into shoes."
-Is Irene's famous client supposed to be Kate Middleton? I mean, I'm assuming that's what they're implying...
-the smiley face is still on the wall! That kind of makes me happy.
-*snort* The Geek Interpreter. I need to go back and read Holmes canon again.
-also, The Speckled Blonde
-KP, why is the number 1895 significant? People over at the LJ comm were saying something about it
-...Deerstalker hat. I don't even honestly know how to react to that. Because it's such a popular thing, but I have it on good authority (i.e., from my darlinglanguage_escapes) that canon!Holmes only wore that hat, like...once. And then somehow the tv and movie people grabbed hold and ran with it.
-Hat-Man and Robin XD
-This show has a thing for riding crops
-The skull! and of course there's milk on the mantel
-"Oh dear! Thumbs!"
-So. Mrs Hudson is standing at the fridge, looks up to shout for the boys. Now, question about apartment layout: are both bedrooms on the second floor of the flat, or only one? Because if only one of them is on the second floor, then clearly Sherlock and John are up in John's room doing something...um...interesting?
-"Tell us from the start. Don't be boring."
-"This is just friendly advice. Give Sherlock 5 minutes at the crime scene, listen to everything he has to say, and as far as possible, try not to punch him."
-Bwee, Sherlock wearing nothing but a sheet. Look at those COLLARBONES.
-"There's a mute button, and I will use it."
-"the right sleeve of an internet porn addict." ...right, then. And of course he's saying all this with the guy sitting RIGHT BEHIND HIM, because who cares about propriety? (Question, though: why on earth was the guy there for that anyway, if Sherlock has clearly just gotten out of bed and John had been out for a while? Seems odd, just sitting in their flat. *shrug*)
-"It's for you" "Okay, thanks *reaches for phone*" "No, the helicopter."
-real subtle there, Mycroft
-Three small dogs, eh? Doesn't the queen have Corgis or something, is that what they're alluding to there? Also, I still love how they do that with the text on the screen.
-Sherlock, wrapped in a sheet, on a couch in Buckingham Palace. Is EPIC.
-John: *checks out Sherlock. A LOT.* "Are you wearing any pants?" "Mmmno." "Okay." Like, pantsless Sherlock is a pretty normal occurrence in John's life.
-And a giggle fit, which is WONDERFUL. Sherlock never smiles for real in front of anybody else, but with John he even LAUGHS.
-"I'm seriously fighting the impulse to steal an ashtray." I missed that the first time.
-"He solves crimes, I blog about it, and he forgets his pants. I wouldn't hold out too much hope."
-"We are in Buckingham Palace, the heart of the British nation. Sherlock Holmes, put your trousers on." In a tone that sounds like this is something he's had to say many times before.
-"I take the precaution of a good coat and a short friend." Poor John. And his face goes, "...wait, did you just call me short?"
-aaaaaaaaaaand off comes the sheet, a bit. Hint of bum, there. And I've suddenly discovered a great liking for Sherlock's back muscles. Also, currently paused on an image of some lovely biceps.
-"Get off my sheet!" "Or what?" "I'll just walk away." "I'll let you." John:"Boys, please."
-"...even a marginally secret service"
-"You don't trust your own Secret Service?" "Naturally not. They all spy on people for money."
-"Sex doesn't alarm me." "How do you know?" Now that was just mean, Mycroft. I don't think Sherlock is inexperienced, just...not terribly interested unless he manages to find a VERY interesting partner.
-I like the cutting back and forth between the pictures of Irene and Sherlock
-"A young female person." John: *stare* Sherlock: *smirk*
-"I'm not the commonwealth." "And that's as modest as he gets. Pleasure to meet you."
-Sherlock stole the ashtray. Cue more giggling.
-"I always hear 'punch me in the face' when you're speaking, but it's usually subtext."
-"I was a soldier. I killed people." "You were a doctor." "I had bad days!"
-And Sherlock is yet again able to turn on the tears at a moment's notice. Also, priest collar!
-Naked Irene.
-"Look at those cheekbones. I could cut myself slapping that face."
-"I've missed something, haven't I?"
-"Somebody loves you. If I had to punch that face, I'd avoid your nose and teeth too." Even Irene ships John/Sherlock!
-"Brainy is the new sexy." Word.
-"I really hope you don't have a baby in here."
-Anything to save John.
-The fight scene - the way they filmed it looks honestly like they might've been intentionally referencing the fight sequences in the 2009 RDJ Holmes film.
-I love Sherlock's interpretation of "call the police"
-I don't think I like this spinny camera thing they're doing
-Now here's a thing: the dead dude wasn't really that close to the stream. How on earth did the boomerang ricochet that far off his head, to end up in the part of the stream that's actually moving, not even in the shallows, so it could get washed downstream?
-Hm, definitely looks like Sherlock's room is on the same floor as the kitchen and living room. Maybe?
-Also, Sherlock's room is WAY cleaner than I would've expected.
-"I'll be next door if you need me." Aww.
-"Treat her like royalty, Mycroft." "Though not the way *she* treats royalty."
-MYCROFT, YOU DO NOT GET TO TELL MRS HUDSON TO SHUT UP. I don't think I like him as much this episode, and that makes me very sad.
-That dressing gown is quite a nice color on Sherlock.
-And now Sherlock is playing Christmas carols, which actually seems a little out of character to me, but he must be doing it to please Mrs Hudson
-John's awful Christmas sweater. Ack.
-And just LOOK at Lestrade checking Molly out. Seriously, STARING at her. Shut your mouth, Lestrade, that look isn't becoming.
-Way to put your foot in it again, Sherlock. Poor Molly. I'm really impressed he actually apologized, though.
-Poor Mycroft, sitting at home alone on Christmas Eve.
-And now Molly's wearing an awful Christmas sweater too.
-"How did Sherlock recognize her from...not her face?"
-Both of the Holmes boys are still wearing their gloves, despite being indoors.
-I love that they have a system set up for when Sherlock has bad nights.
-"You're a great boyfriend...Sherlock Holmes is a very lucky man."
-"I hope you didn't mess up my sock index this time." XD
-OMG THE SKULL IS WEARING A SANTA HAT. I didn't notice that the first time.
-"He will outlive God trying to have the last word."
-"You jealous?" "We're not a couple." "Yes you are."
-"I'm not actually gay." "Well I am." The subtext here: and we're both crazy about Sherlock, despite the fact that we both prefer women.
-Assholes. You just don't do that to Mrs Hudson.
-Huh, was he checking her pulse just there?
-And again, a fight scene with the pre-cataloging of potential injuries.
-HEADBUTT!
-*snerk* "Crime in progress. PLEASE DISTURB."
-"I lost count."
-And Mrs Hudson was hiding the phone in her bra, because Mrs Hudson is AWESOME. "You left it in the pocket of your second-best dressing gown, you clot."
-"Mrs Hudson, leave Baker Street? England would fall!"
-Dear Benedict Cumberbatch, your miming of playing the violin is not terribly convincing. Please try moving the fingers of your left hand occasionally. Thx, mgmt.
-"You think she's my girlfriend because I'm x-raying her possessions?"
-Poor Molly. They really need to be planning something totally awesome for her.
-...yeah, from that shot, it definitely looks like Sherlock's bedroom is on the main floor. And presumably John's is upstairs.
-I'm a little annoyed at John suggesting they have Molly go fetch the phone from the safe deposit box, honestly. Can't really articulate why at the moment, but it's bugging me.
-"Hamish! John Hamish Watson, just in case you were looking for baby names."
-Poor John looks so uncomfortable, checking for that flight
-Moriarty. Those sunglasses and that hair, not cool. I like how he watches the text leave, though.
-"It's not the end of the world. It's Mrs Hudson"
-I'm more amused than I should be that the license plate on that car ends in KOX. Because, well. Say it out loud, you'll understand. I'm childish.
-Creepy plane is creepy.
-"But that's the deceased for you. Late. In every sense of the word."
-"You don't smoke." "I also don't frequent cafes."
-"Initially he wanted to be a pirate." I DEMAND PIRATE!AU FIC NOW.
-I'm not 100% sure I like the ending, TBH. But it was a GOOD episode. Cannot wait for next week.
