Sherlock 1X01 A STUDY IN PINK PT.2 reaction

[@cutthr0atjake]

In the books, Mycroft always was smarter than Sherlock.

[@Rcalero]

Most people does not have a clue about that, even Sherlock admitted it. I love that they respected that fact on the TV Show, without explictly mentioning it

[@carolinamansur113]

​@@Rcalero yep. It's shown a few times when Mycroft actually corrects something Sherlock said/deduced (is this a word?) wrong, but it is really subtle. I love the way they did it.

Even in the old books Sherlock was fond of shooting cocaine. Quite frequently in fact.Not really surprising since it was freely available and legal when they were written.

[@samuelvimes1]

Was it cocaine or opium?

[@Krawurxus]

@@samuelvimes1 Both in fact, but the books specify that he injected the cocaine, even his preferred strength but my recollection isn't that detailed.

[@stpnwlf9]

@@Krawurxus Sherlock specifically used a 7% solution of cocaine. There was even one movie version entitled 'The 7% Solution'

Watson’s limp as stated as psychosomatic, meaning that it’s not through physical injury that causes the limp but inner conflict and stress although Watson was shot in the shoulder ( in the books it was his leg). His interactions with Sherlock and the adrenaline and action he misses from the war made him forget he limped.

[@user-yo4bo5ww2y]

That is only half true, Ser Arthur Conan Doyle actually changed that a lot of times, in the first books it was leg but in the later books he changed it on the arm. So by my opinion they did it really great because it made this two type of watson match in one.

[@orionp.9476]

that and because the pain from walking goes away with adrenaline so, like, ahahaha

The actor playing the brother is Mark gatiss who also co-wrote the show, also acted and wrote some dr who. And was the head of the iron bank of bravos in GoT. A very talented man all in all!

[@evenflow1981]

More importantly he was one of the four members of 'The League of Gentlemen'. If you haven't seen it then do yourself a favour :)

[@DamnQuilty]

Again. Yasss! Mycroft is amazing in this series. And yep. Most people think that he is Moriarty at first.

[@JulietteReacts]

I smiled my face off throughout this reaction. I ADORED this show when it first aired. I genuinely rewatched this first episode like twice a day until episode 2 aired. I ended up getting a cat a few months later and named him Sherlock (he's around 11 now!!) and years later I wrote my dissertation on comparing adaptations of Sherlock Holmes!

[@sandercohen3309]

I hope you have moderators for the comment section, because eager fans and trolls will spoil so much (both purposefully and accidentally) They'll assume you already know things about the characters which you probably don't and they'll explain a bunch of things in order to stroke their own egos and prove how smart they are.

[@Temptation666]

I'm glad I found this. I love you two and I love that you split Sherlock in two. I have seen quite a few doing them in one go. With the 10 min cap it is impossible to do such long episodes in one go well.

[@jmwild1]

If you can keep up with Benedict's speedy dialogue, it's an amazing show. :) Each season is only 3 episodes but each episode is jam packed.

[@claratrevlyn5304]

Responding to your comments about seeing the story of how they met for the first time. The story of their first meeting is faithfully adapted from the first Holmes novel "A Study in Scarlet." However this book is rarely adapted for TV or cinema because of its awkward structure - the first half of the book deals with the murder and Holmes' investigation in London, while the second half tells the backstory that motivated the crime, and is set in a Mormon community in Utah. The Holmes novel "The Valley of Fear" is similarly structured, so is also rarely adapted. The name of the criminal in the book is Jefferson Hope, and it's interesting that the show uses the name "Jeff" in the credits for the killer.

[@silverhawk7386]

In the books Holmes had a problem with opium, so drugs is an issue that Holmes had to deal with.

[@kyuujinreacts]

I really love how they're modernizing the whole story!! It's still pretty epic, but a lot more relatable!!!

[@thesmilingtitan]

You mean *opium ? Coz there's nothing called opion

[@silverhawk7386]

@@thesmilingtitan thank you. Was having trouble with autocorrect trying different words and couldn't recall how to spell it

[@chiraggoyal6708]

Actually sherlock use drugs because it helps him focus

[@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457]

In this show Sherlock is addicted to cigarettes, in the novels he is addicted to opium (apparently it wasn't uncommon in that time in England, although it was considered an ugly vice), but he only consumed it when he didn't have an interesting case, because he needed something to keep his mind occupied. I don't understand why they changed that for a drug that doesn't have a similar effect, to be honest. One thing they do mantain here is that Mycroft is smarter and better at deduction that Sherlock. But while he is very lazy and unadventurous, Sherlock is extremely active and adventurous. So Mycroft uses his habilities to direct England's intelligence agencies from an office, and Sherlock goes out and risks his life on the street solving murders. I have read all the novels and this is a good adaptation, and a good show in general (at least the first two seasons). The cases are different to the original ones but there are lots of references to the novels.

[@MarkusR144]

He's not just addicted to nicotine. If it was just nicotine, they wouldn't have searched his room for drugs and Sherlock wouldn't have given Watson that look and said "you probably wanna shut up now" when Watson was saying that Sherlock wouldn't be a junkie. They don't say it outright but it's heavily implied that he is addicted to heroin or something of that caliber. Nicotine is just another addiction that he sometimes indulges in.

[@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457]

@@MarkusR144 Interesting. That makes sense. I hadn't thought about that, because they don't mention anything else in any of the other episodes about that, just the cigarettes (If I remember correctly).

[@cutthr0atjake]

@@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457 They show he's addicted to illegal drugs in future episodes (Trying to be circumspect to avoid spoilers)

[@Michal_Valoel]

emotions are a huge part of being both a psychopath and sociopath - common misconceptions it aren't. Anger being the most prevalent of them. Empathy on the other hand is a different thing :--)

So happy you two are doing this show! Can’t wait for more! And damn you for figuring out about the cabbie before the reveal. It fooled me completely! Also, the meeting of these two is very similar to how they meet in the stories.

Princess bride was a deliberate reference. Can’t say the guys behind this don’t have good taste

[@elisabethjones4857]

Actually in the original A study in Scarlet, there were two pills, one good one bad, except they did prove that one was good

[@Rvlakia]

This episode is so well crafted, I still love it. There are a few points I absolutely loathe so I have mixed feelings about the show, but I've always identified heavily with Sherlock because I'm like him - so the 'high functioning sociopath' thing really bothers me. It's just wrong. Maybe that's what he wants to be, numb to emotion, but Sherlock obviously feels emotion very deeply. Speaking from personal experience, of course.

[@Inspirit-gp4dp]

Rvlakia you’re like him?

[@juansolis4796]

love your reactions, gonna watch the whiole thing . I love and miss this show.

[@IsiahBradley]

My all-time favorite show. Discovered it on PBS because I caught the "Doctor Who" production quality (yeah, I'm that hardcore :)) and watched the rest of the season I caught, No. 3, the so-called "bad" season. By the end of that season, I was obsessed. By the time I saw 1 and 2.....I had no words--other than my complete love for Molly, particularly when he slapped the s#%t out of him! LOL!!!! I LOVED "The Abominable Bride," and the long-awaited Four had me in withdrawal when it finally came. I gave up on 5 before Una Stubbs died, so now...well, this lifelong Marvel Zombie just enjoys Benedict's Strangeness. ;) I can't stomach "Elementary," a really good show, and I forget the RDJ movies as soon as I see them. To use a term popularized by a film franchise, I'm *completely* imprinted on "Sherlock." (I even own the "SHERLOCKED" Tee :)) I can't wait to see your reactions to the entire run and I hope you have great Fall theories!

[@Jeremy-jm3fe]

For me, the ranking of the seasons are Season 2> Season 1> Season 3>>>>>> Season 4 The first two seasons are masterful. Season 3 is decent, but the last episode is amazing. And season 4 is a huge disappointment. I believe by the time season 4 was being filmed, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman had limited time on the set because they became big stars in Hollywood (Doctor Strange, The Hobbit, Fargo, etc.), so the showrunners had to rush the story.
