@@sheenugupta3126 This is completely right. Yes he cares about John but his safety had nothing to do with it in this situation. People need to stop overthinking this.
Every time Sherlock solves something in this show I feel smarter, but in reality I'm becoming dumber when that happens because Sherlock understood the situation better than me.
@@DarkLordDiablos It's Dim. of the Yard! With a name straight out of Dickens: Dimmock = Dim + Pillock. He got to the rank of DI the same way lots of people get ahead: by mastering office politics and appearing to be super-competent. In his case, that would probably involve an impressive solve rate, although many of his solves would have in fact been wrong.
He was steady just before slamming and was very close to the door, in the process his body wasn't really tilted, which is needed to accelerate in such a small path to a high speed to slam a locked door. Also altough we heard a fairly long pulse of noise relative to an instant breaking of a lock, the door didn't show a vibration or unexpected movement to support that noise. Conclusion: door was already open, Benedict moderately pushed to open it and the noise was artificially generated. Just turn off the sound and watch the part. you'll see that that scnerio is pretty consistent. Benedict moderately pushes the already open door and opens it.
He said, "and can *we* use your balcony?" Not, "can *I* use your balcony. He's subconsciously including John even though he didn't even bring him into the flat.
For me the comedy gold is always how used Watson is to Sherlocks routine. "You want me to go on?" "No, I think you covered it..." "I might as well, I'm always on the bottom of the list..." Watson *nods* 'Why do I even try...'
I think this is when you've got to read between the lines. Hadn't Sherlock been regarding him semi-kindly in the previous part of this episode? Then after John claimed that he was his colleague, Sherlock suddenly stopped opening doors for him to enter through (so much that he almost got killed?). And when John refused to look inside the suitcase, he seemed a bit more critical more than usual (like he's allowing John to discover the clue himself, rather than providing him with answers). It could be more that they're not that used to working with each other, but then you can't say that John had willingly killed a man for him, only to be rewarded with hostility. I wouldn't have expected for them to be buddies right then and there, but there has to be a development after you've killed for someone you barely knew. Case in point, Sherlock had been upset about being regarded as a co-worker rather than a friend, and he was sulking through the majority of it.
Welcome to the world of licensing. Any licensing contract between two companies (in this case the BBC and Netflix) usually has an expiration date. If Netflix were to go over that limit then they would get into trouble with the BBC for not following the contract.
@@thee2724is absolutely correct. This is why Netflix sometimes has certain content and others, not. I first watched Doctor Who on Netflix, but had to switch to Amazon Prime when Prime picked up exclusive rights after Netflix's contract expired.
Really would have been nice if we had seen the bits of information which Sherlock sees. Literally the reason Sherlock comes across as so smart is that it literally doesn't give us a chance to see, and miss, what he sees. Would also have been nice to wrap up more on the gun having it 1) not been fired and 2) have it by his left side when he died. We aren't given the chance to see what Sherlock sees just treaded like idiots from the start and not allowed to try and piece things together. Take the buzzer for example, the flat above him was new but we could have just had the shot of him pushing the buzzer be a slightly wider shot showing a bunch of names and the new label. Little things which show us information without straight up declaring "this is important" but then having Sherlock use this noticed information to his advantage. Instead we don't get to see that and have Sherlock pull it out of the air and us going "wow he saw something we literally didn't get a chance to see". I know the point of Sherlock is he sees things we don't but literally not showing us things doesn't make for a good story telling
This is a great explanation of why this Sherlock series falls flat. Also, a gun is really easy to use off-handed. He may have been left handed, but still use the weapon with his right hand. The facts that Sherlock states don't immediately point to murder either.
that's the point -- the genius writing is that his explanations are so plausible and convincing -- the fact that we don't see don't see every detail beforehand is irrelevant
@@HelenaOfDetroit you're as dumb as wet sack of rocks -- this series is about a detective -- deductive reasoning, there are no coincidences, plausible narratives etc etc
Dear Mark Gatiss, Would you consider doing the "thank for watching, please subscribe" end video in full Mycroft wardrobe & persona. It bring a grander air to the closing. :D
"Wrong its one possible explanation to some of the facts. You got a solution you like but choosing to ignore anything you see that doesn't comply with it! It means the wound is on its right side of his head. Vancune was Left Handed, Quite a bit of contortion?!" Yeah awesome Sherlock, I love his deductive skills, great series.
I and millions of others really wish this program would have continued..as a Jeremy Brett loyalist... I have to say this Sherlock Holmes "mystery" was ....Amazing.......very entertaining!!!
Just a question though, is Sherlock left handed or right handed..? He opened the door with his left hand, opened the fridge with his left hand, and when he forced his way through the locked doors he was using his left shoulder, and when he was giving the evidence to the Sergeant, he handed it with his left hand, and when he was pointing out the facts, he pointed with his left hand too 🤔
Interesting point- I see your reasoning. However I'm right handed- I write with my right, but my left is stronger, if that makes sense. Throw with my left etc
how??? it's forced by plot.... and isn't at all proof he's left handed, he could be ambidextrous, they could simply ask someone the banker knows instead of listing off a few possible reasons he's left handed.
Sherlock would have a hard time if it was me. I'm mixed-handed. Left-handed only when it comes to writing and eating with a fork, for all the rest, including sports, I use my right hand and right foot. When someone asks me if I'm right-handed or left-handed I usually have to ask "it depends, what for?".
Doing a person in 3D animation is not as real as the actor, and it’s much more work. Look at the Hound of Baskerville, the hound was made in a 3D animation. It’s not really real... In fact, putting a 3D character on a movie with real actor, looks kinda weird. But for the Hound, it wasn’t. Why cause, if you seen this episode, the hound was an apparition after taking drugs. So, it was more like a sort of dream. Using an unreal character in this part, even if it doesn’t look good, was a better idea than use a real dog. It’s just my opinion, and I’m 3 years late. So you probably don’t even know what I’m talking about
this Sherlock Holmes is definitely an aquired- taste. I like the show,don't get me wrong, Holmes is just a bit of a conceded smart-ass that's all. it's brilliantly acted with really interesting stories. it's different and that's what I like about it!
But if you read the original stories, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation came across in exactly the same way. The beginning of "Hound of the Baskervilles" has Watson deducing what Dr Mortimer is like and Holmes makes no bones about saying all Watson's deductions are wrong but that he is a 'conductor of light'. In other words, Watson is always wrong but Holmes only needs to think about the opposite of what Watson said to get a handle on the truth.
Sherlock says it's "highly unlikely" that a left-handed man would shoot himself with his right hand, but then calls murder the "only explanation of all of the facts". If it's only highly unlikely and not impossible he killed himself with his weak hand, wouldn't that be a different explanation of all of the facts?
