If you're a true fan of Sherlock Holmes, you won't care whether or not he's straight. You'll love him for himself, not for what he prefers--coffee, tea, or neither. That's what the song is all about. That's what this video is all about.
Um... words? Ye gods. I'm just so glad BC and MF were born the way they were. I can watch them forever - and the show is pure genius. You've wrapped it all very neatly in its package!
Crime fighter, soldier, doctor, consulting detective, but they are mere labels and Sherlock isn't bothered. John to Sherlock, is brother in arms, partner in crime, and trusted friend, there's no-one who he trust with his life and his death. Sherlock to John, the man who brought John back to life, give him a cause to fight for, and afriendship that like no other. Together, well try and stop them, they dare you. and that's what makes them, who they are.
"If you have what you say you have, I will make you rich. If you don't...I'll make you into a meat dress and wear you to an award ceremony." Oh my gawd. That image will haunt me until the day I die. And then a bit afterwards.
I don't really mind bananas. The phrase comes from a long, incredibly odd conversation with my 2 best friends and my drama teacher in London, years ago. Where we decided, for no real reason, that Bananas were the devil's fruit. We then re-wrote the Latin chant from the film "The Omen" so that it was about evil bananas. In Latin. Because that's our sense of humour and we were bored. And then it became a private joke. We still start chanting in latin whenever we see a banana. Hence the username :)
Hilarious job.:-)))). Love this vid so much despite the fact I don't like Lady Gaga at all. But now the song and the vid don't get out of my mind. So glad that both actors were born and I hope we will see a lot more of them in the future. I really could watch them for ages. Wish them all the best. Looking forward to SH. season 3. I do like their bromance so so much. That is what real friendship means in my opinion.:)). Well done.
Some of it's genuine latin. The words we don't know in latin, we just add "um" or "us" to the end. eg. "Bananum", "Fruitus Saladus", "Banana Splitum et ice creamum with chocolate sauceus." It's a fun game. And very easy.
It's a good idea - awesome song, good show - but this video just highlights the stark lack of diversity in the show. BBC Sherlock needs to step its' game up.
Mycroft is never confirmed as gay, Donovan is one person, and she's constantly belittled and cast as an antagonist to Sherlock and John, John's therapist is a background character at best, and Moriarty being Irish is about as diverse as white paper.
Interesting. I can't say I really like the clips and song combined, but if you don't like the song, it follows that you wouldn't necessarily be able to channel its passion. That said, I can't really find it in me to dislike most things involving either Sherlock or this song.
