    Arguably the best episode of Sherlock. The dedication to each character is goes above and beyond, all the way around. The love between Sherlock, Mary, and Watson is eternal.

    Bill Wiggins is based of a character from the books called "Wiggins" - leader of a group of street children known as the "Baker Street Irregulars" who helped out Sherlock.

    This is based on the short story, "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" wherein Holmes, in the guise of a plumber named Escott (partial reason for William S. Baring-Gould's adoption of the "William Sherlock Scott Holmes" name theory), gets engaged to Milverton's housemaid, Agatha to gain access to his blackmail materials. The title is a play on a different story, "His Last Bow," which gets a nod somewhere along the line ("an east wind coming" is from this). In "The Man with the Twisted Lip," Watson had to go to an opium den to retrieve a friend's addicted husband.

    If you haven't seen it yet, I think you might dig "The Night Manager" (2016). It stars Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Coleman & Elizabeth Debicki. It was a 6 part BBC series.

    You can really see how great Mary and John's relationship is, how well it was set up in the first two episodes of this season, and how the possibility of it falling apart in this episode is so emotional and gripping. I forget how good this show is until I see it being reacted to and then I'm like "dang, it's just so clever!"

    Rekkai saying John fell in love and wanted to propose to Mary when he was in mourning, is very telling on how this relationship started.
    Steven Moffat likes the idea of 'killing a dragon for you' so he uses it here between the Christmas talk Sherlock and Mycroft, that Sherlock has his dragon now (Magnusson) but in the very first episode of his very first ever show written, he's already dropping the line "I 'ld kill a dragon for you" between the two main protagonists and in a later season he even named an episode 'At last a dragon' cause Moffat is such a romantic at heart. His favorite book AND film after all is 'The Princess Bride'.
    Also, in the 'Sign of Three' when Sherlock is reading the telegrams during the wedding, one was from 'CAM' and Mary's face is telling, but we didn't know what it meant ... untill now. Magnusson was after Mary from the start, playing with her, John was her pressure point, and then, when Sherlock came back from the not-dead, it was a feast for Magnusson.

    Watson really had to ask who he is after Mary responded, "it's what you like" and Sherlock agreed. In the first episode Watson pretty much responded 'O, God Yes' when Sherlock asked him to go into danger and Mycroft said his "handicap" was because he missed the war. In a way Watson is the yin or yang to both Mary and Sherlock. Even sociopaths need a port in the storm.

    Omg DO NOT SKIP “the Abominable Bride”! It’s a full-length Christmas episode that acts as a bridge between 3 and 4 - and it’s sooo fun and dark. Plus, you get to see Sherlock back in Victorian times 😉

    Not entirely wrong but the thought made me laugh. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Mads once and I've rarely met someone that down to earth. From what I've heard the same can't be said about the Baldwins but on a professional level you're kinda right. 😂👍 (POV: I'm Danish 😉) Love your Sherlock reactions. 💜

    Wiggins is a kid in the books -- the leader of the Baker Street irregulars (lower-case I), the group of "street arabs" (read: poor and possibly homeless children) who were Holmes' eyes and ears because they went unnoticed and could easily eavesdrop. This was updated to the "homeless network" because having children help in investigations isn't looked on as so innocuous these days).

  • @sfkeepay
    @sfkeepay 16 днів тому

    This is where Sherlock jumped the shark.
    They had an absolutely incredible villain in Lars Mikkelsen’s Charles Augustus Magnessen - a genuinely brilliant, utterly ruthless, physically imposing, suave, urbane, and incredibly dangerous arch-rival for Sherlock. After the mind-palace reveal, it left me really eager to see how the hell Sherlock and Watson would defeat him.
    But instead of what should have been a challenge even more engrossing to watch than Holmes vs. Moriarty, they just had Holmes shoot him. They had the pieces in place for the smartest showdown ever and delivered the stupidest, laziest, most incongruent and dissatisfying outcome in the history of Holmes stories. It’s like they made Magnessen so formidable that they couldn’t think of a legitimate way to beat him. Such a huge let down.
    p.s. I can’t hear Mikkelsen utter a syllable without Grand Admiral Thrawn taking over my brain.

    Spoiler free: just before you watch series 4 episode 2 “The Lying Detective”, you should do some research on a man called “Jimmy Saville”. The whole episode is basically a nod to this massive scandal that went under the BBC’s nose for decades. It is hard to believe how long and far reaching this actually was.

  • @brennkinn

    I have neurodegenerative cognitive issues, so my memory is a bit swiss cheesey, but am I wrong in thinking that when Mycroft first presented the mission in Eastern Europe that Sherlock was later forced to take - it was implied to be a likely suicide mission that very likely wouldn't let him survive more than the 6 months? Perhaps implying with a double meaning that the East (wind) will take him in the end... Shading his words to John to imply that he'll be back home in 6 months, but I don't think John has any idea that it could have been his coffin coming home in 6 months, or John would probably be fighting to go with him. Mary or no
    With regards to the enemy of the week thought, In the build up to Moriarty's intro there were a couple of small enemies that Moriarty had been pulling the strings on, so the issue might be the same... Or maybe Maggeson and Moriarty have been middle management bad guys for an even bigger bad?
    I missed the 4th season, and for one reason or other never tried to go back and catch up, so it's just a guess.

    • @nupefromdaville
      @nupefromdaville 20 днів тому +1

      You are correct. But if anyone could make it back from Eastern Europe, it would be Sherlock. Hopefully you will catch the 4th season with us!

      I've only watched maybe three reaction videos, so not really familiar with them but your (plural because I might be from the South but refuse to say 'your alls') interactions are very personable and inviting like you've welcomed us into your home for a movie night - a feeling the other two didn't give, although they were for an Among us (?) game and for a musical Hamilton, so I don't know if that feeling could have been expected,.Gah. I'm babbling, so shutting up now, but thank you for sharing.

    I’m pretty sure that Magnusson is meant to be a Rupert Murdoch type character. Someone who only cares about how to increase their coffers, has little to no regard for the truth, along with a lack of respect for people and will purposefully try and have some control over the leaders of the countries that he has interests in. I know that has certainly been the case in his native Australia, here in the UK and I believe he even had to gain US citizenship to guarantee that he could continue in that vein in the US.
