Given her "Cartoon" intelligence where she can completely Brainwash people by speaking to them... Anyone that she feels like going after wouldn't have a chance. Odd examples though, Mary (who isn't *super* intelligent), and Sherlock (who he isn't attracted to).
@@lokithecat7225it’s not about their intelligence. It’s about the fact that Sherlock has said from the beginning, that John is attracted to a certain dangerous lifestyle” when he found out about Mary’s past. “And his best friend being a junkie who solves crimes to get high” That’s what the original commenter meant by his choice of Euros and I totally agree with them. John is attracted to the dangerous lifestyle, subconsciously it would make sense. Yes euros has the ability to do that to many people but John was always doomed to fall into her trap because of this.
Eurus is played by Siân Brooke who played Ophelia to Cumberbatch's Hamlet in a production in London that ran in the summer before this series was filmed. Looks like she got this gig based on the crew seeing her in Shakespeare. Also, the look on your faces when you saw the ending of this episode was absolutely priceless!
Gosh I do love this episode. The lengths sherlco goes to for John. The battle of wills against super powereful Jimmy saville. Toby Jones is Sooo good in this role and the sheer amount of people who don't recognise the women is amazing in it's deception. I loved the having chips scene and then I loved the reveal in the morgue I thought for a damn second this man was so smart and so damn high he had sussed the secrets of the universe like rustin Cole or something
P.S. RIP Una Stubbs (1937-2021). The day I read of her passing was the day I stopped begging and praying for #Sherlock #Season5 #SherlockSeason5 #Sherlocked
Eurus isn’t from Doyle, but there was a reference to there being a third brother named Sherringford. Hence when they mentioned it, those in the know thought they knew where this was going, but Moffat and Gatiss pulled a fast one.
I TOLD YOU ep 1 would pay off here! This is my FAVORITE episode of the whole series! Darkest one yet, but necessarily so. It tied up all the loose ends from ep 1 unexpectedly and emotionally. Also, surprisingly funny - the reveal Sherlock planned it all 3 weeks in advance 🤣 🤣 Sharp writing firing on all cylinders and man, Cumberbatch and Freeman do their best acting work in this one.
Siân Brooke, who played essentially four roles here, would later play Ophelia to Benedict Cumberbatch's Hamlet on stage. She also played Queen Aemma on _House of the Dragon_ and Deirdre Young on _Good Omens._ She looks different in every role. There is no sister in the Conan Doyle stories, although Sherlockians have long theorised siblings for the brothers Holmes (either a third, usually oldest, brother or a, usually younger, sister). You've probably heard of the Enola Holmes books by Nancy Springer due to the recent loose adaptations. There was also a novel called _The Strange Adventures of Charlotte Holmes_ featuring a younger sister.
I’ll repeat; ‘I want to break free’… Those who know, know 😂 You can say a lot about this show, and there’s certainly ups and downs. But what makes it so good is: they never sat on their laurels, always tried different and new things, and you never really know what to expect. The result is episodes of which even the lesser favorites are still endlessly entertaining and innovative in their way. And it most certainly warrants repeat viewings, because there is so much you miss on a first watch. And I’ll also say it again; your reaction videos to these (and other shows) are the absolute best, taking the content seriously, having fun but also poking some holes where necessary. Looking forward to where this is going next 🤞😏
It was heartbreaking that John kept seeing Mary. I can see myself doing that if my husband died. And Eurus has been hinted at as both brothers have mentioned the East Wind.
"The Lying Detective" is loosely based on the story, "The Dying Detective," with some inspiratio from the Jimmy Savile case (documentary on Netflix, by the way; it's disturbing) and a little bit of "His Last Bow" ("an east wind coming").
Sherrinford Holmes (or possibly I. Sherrinford Holmes, perhaps for Innes, Doyle's brother) was the original name Doyle was playing with for Sherlock. This became a brother who stayed and inherited the estate while Mycroft and Sherlock made their way in the world in some Sherlockian theory and in William S. Baring-Gould's "biography," _Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: A Life of the World's First Consulting Detective._ Watson was to be Ormond Sacker, a name used for the Watsonish character in Gene Wilder's _Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother._
There’s always been stories about a third Holmes sibling. There were so many theories that anything that was asked or said at conventions and interviews was always an official confirmation from the writers when in fact it wasn’t even close. The media and fans even stated that Tom Hiddleston had been cast as the third brother.
Even if you don't react to it, I urge you to watch The Detectorists. One of the greatest shows ever. Truly great tv. Hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday season :)
At one point I'm expecting you to watch it all over again, so sure to find the little gems and forseeing you've missed the first time and even though knowing what is going to happen, it will still amaze you. Also, the payoff for what is build up from last season towards 'the Abominable Bride' (women are often underestimated or overlooked) and this then the last episode and this one... yeah. Every season builds up, season after season, and delivers. I hope you feel the same way too.
I can’t wait to see what you think of the last episode because it’s been a touchy subject in the house some hate it some love it I enjoy them arguing 😂
P.P.S. The next one will either make you or break you, strike out or grand slam, love it or hate it! *TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!* #Sherlock #Sherlockfinale #Sherlockseriesfinale #Sherlocked
Only some snowflakes dismiss Season 4 as it doesn't meet their particular fantasies. The series as a whole dovetails perfectly and becomes more obvious on second viewing.
The problem with this episode is you could fast forward the Toby Jones story line and it would be amazing. The main story arc is great with so many twists and turns (and humour). The crime that needed to be solved was an awful storyline, Toby Jones does an amazing job of playing a character that is just slimy and ick. The problem with that is as the story isn't that great and Toby makes you hate the character so much, it's not fun to watch at all.
It makes sense that John would be attacted to Eurus without even realizing why, though. Just saying. Sherlock, Mary.
Given her "Cartoon" intelligence where she can completely Brainwash people by speaking to them...

Odd examples though, Mary (who isn't *super* intelligent), and Sherlock (who he isn't attracted to).

IT'S MY CAR! 😅😅 RIP Una Stubbs aka MRS HUDSON 🕊️ she was an OG and so underused in this series for her comedic timing.

The Mrs. Hadson scene must be my favorite thing about this series
Been waiting for this episode!!!!

5:02 you also saw him on Doctor Who as the “Dream Lord” in se5ep7
Crazy ending. Enjoyed your reaction to it.
My favourite episode of the show.
Doctor strange and bilbo fight the evil dobby.
People shit on this season, but they've been setting up The East Wind for multiple seasons. It's great.
I constantly enjoy your reacts videos @syntell and always enjoy your guest reactors. ❤️
Toby Jones is in so-ooo many things these days, including a series I think you would both enjoy called, 'The Detectorists'.
Sherrinford Holmes (or possibly I. Sherrinford Holmes, perhaps for Innes, Doyle's brother) was the original name Doyle was playing with for Sherlock. This became a brother who stayed and inherited the estate while Mycroft and Sherlock made their way in the world in some Sherlockian theory and in William S.

Toby Jones is also Truman Capote in _Infamous,_ the less-famous Capote movie of the mid-2000s.

Favorite episode of this TV shoe after the Iren Adler episode.
The Junkie is Sherlocks Chemist...
For some reason Sherlock trusts him more than his own knowledge for dosing others, and himself.
P.P.S. The next one will either make you or break you, strike out or grand slam, love it or hate it! *TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!* #Sherlock #Sherlockfinale #Sherlockseriesfinale #Sherlocked
So jealous of U2 watching the next episode for the first time. Enjoy.

this made me want a Mind Palace so bad, but my brain doesn't work that way 😥
Just finished the video. Toby Jones is a wicked actor. Come on boys smarten up.
39 minutes ago. Posted. I’m guessing 17 minutes until realisation.
Let’s go Mycroft.
The reason you don’t remember a Holmes sister from the books is because she didn’t exist. Euros was created for this series.

As far as Holmes sisters go, I much prefer Enola. Not necessarily better as a fiction device, I really like that approach to the Holmes.
The problem with this episode is you could fast forward the Toby Jones story line and it would be amazing. The main story arc is great with so many twists and turns (and humour). The crime that needed to be solved was an awful storyline, Toby Jones does an amazing job of playing a character that is just slimy and ick.
