Watson and I feel that, in order to do our best work, the chemistry needs to be right.

#see THIS is what makes Sherlock in Elementary so unique#a lot of versions of Sherlock#or pretty much Any modern crime drama would have the brilliant detective calling the other detectives ‘idiots’#or ‘amateurs’ or basically insulting their intelligence and ability as detectives#here Sherlock is both acknowledging their skill as detectives and crediting that to their Captain’s leadership#while also acknowledging that he can’t work with them because THEY don’t like him#all the while he is accepting as fair because he’s self-aware to know he’s not easy to work with#there are ways to depict an anti-social genius without being a huge asshole to everyone#and this is it

I’m living, I remember those days when Moffat, Cumberbatch and co were totally shading Elementary, AND LOOK, BITCH, HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. SHERLOCK BBC ESCALATED INTO A GARBAGE TRASH AND ELEMENTARY IS TRUER TO CANON THAN SHERLOCK BBC HAS EVER HOPED TO BE.

Sherlock BBC finale had the lowest viewership in the show’s run and was so bad it got dragged by several review sites, 3 national newspapers, and the BBC itself and then set fire to its own fanbase after queerbaiting them for 5 years

Elementary has an honest to god love confession with a solid 9.7 rating on IMDB and stunning reviews all around despite going up against the fricking Emmys

karma’s a cruel mistress and a viscous bitch. 

I can honestly say I would never go back.

  • ‘Flushed up with pleasure’ when being praised
  • Wouldn’t explain how he comes to conclusions because he was worried Watson would think he is ordinary

WHERE ARE YALL GETTING THIS/1!!1!!!????!?

Leaped over furniture like a gazelle.

•Shook hands with a baby :,}

  • noticed watson looking sad and touching his old war wound and tried to cheer him up with some deductions about his sparkling eyes

  • deliberately knocked over a table, shattering a glass fruit bowl which sent fruit rolling everywhere, then blamed it on watson and ran away

  • was not surprised when a dog died after its owner died, due to the “beautiful, faithful nature of dogs”
  • sent watson a telegram telling him to come over at once so he could tell him his most recent thoughts about dogs and the importance of their emotions to detective work
  • told Watson anecdotes about his favorite violinist for an hour while they had lunch together

  • made a little diagram out of breadcrumbs while explaining something to Watson

  • Shared a room with watson in a house that had 11 bedrooms
  • Makes his client wait while he changes into slippers
  • Has a realistic dummy made of himself and uses it to fool a client
    • twice
    • in the same story

Let a jewel thief off one time because: 

a, the thief cried 

b, the case had been really easy & if the Yard couldn’t solve it then frankly fuck em

c, it was Christmas

And People ™ still think he was an unfeeling, cold man of reason. Honey that man probably slept with a fluffy stuffed bee.

Made a BIG drama about killing a jellyfish with a rock

Being a well-paid, soppy mess who retires to keep bees is #TheDream

Some more!

-Employed a bunch of street urchins, and talked to them like a general with his troops.

-Tore up Watson’s trousers to check him for injuries.

-Lets a man get away with murder because it would keep a pair of sweethearts from being hurt.

-Stops an investigation so he can go look at flowers with Watson

-Still loves dogs even after getting his ankle torn up by one.

Let a murderer go because he did it to avenge his love who had been murdered.

Nearly cried when Watson was shot, knocked the shooter out with the butt of his gun and then threatened to kill him when he woke up.

 #can i mention how cool it is to have a variation of sherlock holmes where he says stuff like this #because it’s important #and this episode is my favourite so far because it’s surprisingly accurate #and it was just great to hear him say this #because sherlock holmes is of course intelligent and a modern sherlock would know this #and even though this holmes does have that social crass and indelicacy he’s softer in some ways to the others #which is what makes him different and a new take and interesting to watch #he’s a rare fictional example of a character who is pragmatic and driven and a bit socially blunt but also has a firm moral intelligence too #just because a character can be blunt and rude and not understand that they’ve just insulted someone doesn’t have to mean #that they don’t understand right from wrong  (via teacupsandcyanide)

I always reference this scene when talking about Jonny as Holmes because this is what makes him the most Holmesian Holmes since the passing of the great Jeremy Brett.

Sherlock Holmes cares about people, he cares about justice, he cares about not what is legally right but what is morally right and this scene reminds me so much of Holmes’ concern for Violet Hunter in The Copper Beeches or Violet Smith in The Solitary Cyclist or Helen Stoner in The Speckled Band all women in close proximity to abusers/potential abusers and he’s so concerned for them.

That’s Sherlock Holmes, a man concerned with justice and the protection of victims. I love Jonny’s Holmes with a passion because this is my childhood hero returned.

I have to say, this was what hooked me in with this show. I mean I liked it well enough as a ‘generic procedural’ at first, and I was kind of diehard about BBC Sherlock at the time (I have since changed my mind since season 3 of BBC Sherlock, lol). 

But this, here…it said so much about Sherlock’s character, about the interpretation of Holmes, and it really spoke to me as an abuse victim who has gone back to an abuser again and again. And when Sherlock said this – I just thought about the writers who came up with this line, who polished it up and put it into their draft, and I thought about the team who approved it, and I thought about Jonny Lee Miller who delivered it perfectly, and I thought: 

‘This is more than a generic procedural, and I love that it is understated but so, so very powerful.’

And there have been episodes here and there that have felt like filler (they do have giant seasons after all), but for what it’s worth, I still think of this as an exceptionally strong but understated show, that is careful about where it places its power – which gives them the knowledge to pull off scenes like this so very well.

Interviewer: Tell us about your relationship with Robert Downey Jr on set.
Jude Law: Oh, I love him. I love him.
Interviewer: Yeah? You had a bit of a bromance going on there.
Jude Law: What is this new term everyone is using?
Interviewer: Bromance?
Jude Law: Oh, it’s a horrible term. What about just a romance?
Interviewer: No, it’s not the same.
Jude Law: Why not? Why?
Interviewer: Cause then you’d have to star in a romantic comedy together or something.
Jude Law: We just have. Have you not seen it? [x]

Jude Law does not have time for any of that ‘No Homo’ bullshit…

FuCK JUDE LAW WENT FROM 0 TO 100 REAL QUICK

Interviewer: No homo haha
Jude Law: FULL HOMO

I love this, because Jude Law is about the most hetero guy in the world, but he’s secure in his sexuality, so it just doesn’t bother him. Yeah, he’ll flirt and cuddle with RDJ and shag Stephen Fry on screen and he’s just like, ‘yeah, I’m comfortable. Why wouldn’t I be?’
