"I'm afraid little girls will want to become sluts after watching this movie." The fuck? Censoring shit is really rather ridiculous. While it's true that children weren't meant to see some things, I don't see how they would get past not seeing it. Which is why it should be explained at a young age WHY it isn't good to follow or aspire to be characters in a movie. I, for one, watched Spun when I was horribly young. Doesn't mean I then aspired to be a meth cook.
@bamboozle199 Yes, well, the actor probably didn't want any really awkward wardrobe malfunctions going on, not when there's a camera pointed directly at him.
What annoys me is that in Canada we haven't gotten to see the episode yet so I'm getting very impatient. Does anyone know where Canadians can watch session 2?
@msblueisback My ingenious solution: move to UK. Of course the official reason was to study but obviously it was to finally have access to bbc iplayer.
The character Sherlock would often act, manipulate-betray for what he saw as the greater good. He would fake a response to gain a response. Watch to see if this is what is occurring, if yes Brilliance, if no, poor watery lazy adaptation. And "the woman" may have nothing to do with romance, more of admiration, that her qualities , regardless of sex, set her apart and made her charismatic. Sherlock is a narcissist, and though admiring of, would ultimately spurn, not wanting of the competition.
I'f I'm not mistaken Sherlock is supposed to take drugs - cocaine and morphine - according to the canon,something not illegal back then.By today's standards,I don't think you colud call a role model someone who snorts cocaine to make a good deduction...
Another thing, Irene Alder is suppose to be American.
Americans don't even take their clothes off at the beach, and I'm sure Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be outraged to see The Woman naked and looking sluty, when she earned the name "The Woman" BECAUSE she was respectful, kind, smart/witty, and had her set of morals at the same time.
To add, this isn't very respectful at least to Sir Arthur, who (let me remind) CREATED Sherlock's character and all the other characters in the first place.
@sparehawk23 she doesn't just look sluty, she is a BDSM slut by profession and they make her an idol. I'm afraid little girls will want to become a prostitute after watching this movie. Oh my god
@WildBerry273 Doubt it- this is not for little girls. this is a BBC adult drama series full of death, crime and grime. Sherlock Holmes was never really intended for kids, though the Hollywood movies lean in that direction. Sherlock holmes himself has never been traditional role model material himself- in the books and very much in this series, he is presented as VERY antisocial and cutting: that's why we love him.
@MrCybershade it's not about kids. Originaly she was presented as a woman admired by people including SH. BBC put a female in the center of the drama, who enjoys prostitution and desperately tries to get laid with SH. I don't mind if there is sex and violence, I just don't understand why she is supposed to be an idol. And if they think it's fine and expect us to adore her, something is very wrong with the world.
@WildBerry273 I dislike the whole dominatrix thing too, but if you're able to shun it away from your mind, her character is okay in this version. After watching the whole episode you realize she wasn't desperately trying to get into Sherlock's bed; she was acting to get Sherlock interested in her, so she could fool him into solving the code for her (and ultimately for Moriarty, for whom she was working.) Her getting attracted to him for real was "an occupational accident."
@sparehawk23 She is meant to be American, quite true and yes, I'm sure Sir Arthur would probably die of shock...but, though I hugely admire and respect Holmes's creator (The Lost World and his other Proff. Challenger books are worth a look as well) times have moved on. He presented Irene Adler as a temptress and the centre of scandel...perhaps it is fitting that a 21st century version might have to try a little harder than the original to reach these very character descriptions.
@sparehawk23 Actually, if you watched the episode in full, you'd realize that her nakedness was a way of disguising herself since Sherlock needed additional details like her clothes (or choice of clothes) to deduce things about her. Plus, it threw off Sherlock for a moment. Furthermore, I thought that her nakedness was a way of presenting a character foil to Sherlock, who also tramps around naked too. Her ingenuity is unconventional but equally smart and witty as Sherlock's. Watch it first!
@ValentineLissar this changes my whole view of Irene (in the show of course) thanks for explaining that, because since I haven't seen it yet, I thought they made her out to be really trashy and just after Sherlock (which is soooo incredibly far from the book!!)
@sparehawk23 In fact if you watch the episode, she is slutty because of her profession but after the initial introductions, she proves herself just as clever, if not more charming, than Sherlock. She does outwit him in several instances. Besides do you think the canon Alder was any less scandalous? Originally she was an opera singer and back in the Victorian Age, any respectable woman would not be an actresses. Actresses were considered on the same level as prostitutes.
I dislike the idea of making her a dirty whore, I dislike the way she looks, I expected her to be more beatiful and fascinating. I think Rachel from Ritchie's movie fits the role much better. Probably SH is a machine, but I guess this is not the only reason why he didn't fall for her..
Also, to anyone who watched it (don't read this if you haven't, it'd be a spoiler), do you think John and Sherlock of a bit of a "thing"? Irene said that John and Sherlock were a couple, and John said it wasn't true but she insisted. John then said he wasn't gay -- but then Irene said that she WAS gay, and look at them both (maybe meaning that despite neither of them should love Sherlock, they both do?) Later it's proven that she does love him. Does that hint that John does too? Opinions? :D
@NekoAlias I agree that there was something there.It was far too obvious.More over,they showed Sherlock becoming more human,more in touch with his feelings - any feelings he may have.The expression of his face when he realizes Mrs Hundson is in danger says a lot...
@kateris1976 Exactly; it's was so obvious to me, even though I tried to be ignorant of it. The way he reacted to things, like her apparent death, his "Happy New Year" reply, his smile; everything just pointed to it. Too obvious, like you said. I read something recently that said they're exploring whether or not, "underneath that cold exterior, is there a sexual and emotionally capable being?". I can get a love story anywhere; I don't want to experience Sherlock in that way. IMO
@NekoAlias Neither do I because I'd like the series to follow the canon and not make up Hollywood style love stories "the protagonist gets the girl". I have to admit although that I wanted Sherlock to express some kind of emotion - anything..
@kateris1976 Yes, I agree that I wanted Sherlock to feel something, too. A slow process to realizing friendship to John or something. Something slow, easy, and not overbearing. I could even appreciate the obvious anger he felt against the guy who hurt Mrs. Hudson (possessiveness there, if nothing else.) lol. But really, If I wanted to see a sociopath fall in love, I'd go watch Dexter again. xP But it was a good episode nonetheless :)
This man's acting is beyond description.In 90 minutes he made me go through a rollercoaster of feelings.I could watch this again and again without getting bored.I really am pissed off that we don't get to see this on tv here in Greece....
I really, REALLY didn't want to see Irene. But, unfortunately, the scene played out. I do have to admit that I enjoyed her character (and a great plot), but not the way Sherlock reacted to her. Not the "unlove" bit that Moffat spoke of. There was certainly something there. Too much there, in my opinion. Overdone. I just hope to sweep it under the rug and move on.
@NekoAlias you are aware they had a bit of a thing in the book? nothing beyond intellectual flirting and it didn't go anywhere because Sherlock just did not give a fuck, but it was still there. What were you seeing, anyway? Even when she was on his lap naked he didn't really seem interested in her that way -- just curious because he had yet to figure her out.
@CheeseLoversUnited There was no "thing" in the book. Not even intellectual flirting. I've read them all. Irene was in no way special in the book, in my opinion. She saw through what I felt was a rather obvious display, but because of that had gotten the best of Holmes. He kept her picture in rememberance. It seemed much different in the show to me. I really tried not to see it, and if I had more room I'd explain. But it was just too much in my opinion. That's all. :)
@CheeseLoversUnited But because I'd still like to hear your opinion further, what did you think about it? Was there anything between Sherlock and Irene in the show? She obviously loved him; she was Sherlocked (aren't we all ;P). But what did he truly think of her? (He obviously cared, he went through the trouble of tracking her down and saving her). Just wanna hear some more opinions. :)
Please do excuse my inner fan-girl; she can't always control herself when Benedict Cumberpatch comes on screen, especially when his towel drops *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!*
@TheEnglishRedRose Just for the record, it isn't a towel, it's a bedsheet. And it doesn't just drop... Mycroft steps on it! Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat catering to the fans, no doubt. ;-)
I like the actress who's going to play Addler. If u had read the stories then you would know she's the only women he actually liked because of her mind. Its crazy to think about how all of this is going to work out an omg I'm in luv with Sherlock's tush an so is John apparently.
Anyone know when Sherlock comes to American tele? Oh god, do I have to travel to England to watch this :,( I mean I'd love too but for just the episode. I think it's worth the trip alone.
@maryliz98 Thats what I read, then someone said that the decided to release it here january15, but havent found anything like that. It would be awesome if it were true. I'll hate to wait until May.
@saphira1001 I was (wishing) some US (cable) TV executive would fall in love with the show and pay an exorbitant fee too all the cast and writer's so they would drop everything else an do a full season. So far the (stupid) cable exec is a no show. Darn... But my fingers are still X'd though.
eh. I think dominatrix is rather fitting for Irene -- she was in fact an actress/opera singer in the books. a profession which was frowned upon in the same way back in the day. there's no reason not to suspect that this'll be played out just like in the books -- intellectual flirting at best. when I first saw the clip, I assumed sherlock was trying to get some information out of her. I mean I know she's a woman, but the hate is still staggering.
@CheeseLoversUnited This is not to meant to be anything, but a sincere inquiry: I have watched this clip several times, but after reading your thoughts I watched it another 3 times. I can't for the life of me see the (staggering hate) you wrote about. What am I missing here?
What I do see are signs of their competition, of their one upmanship, an a rather hot game of cat 'n' mouse, I just don't see, "hate." Enlighten me please...
@lovemesomcumberbunny I was referring to the hate fans seemed to have for her even before the episode aired -- I was in a particularily bad mood at the time about it, but I never really appreciate hate towards female characters when it's obviously coming from a rather petty not to mention misogynistic place. :P called me humourless, I suppose
...Is anyone else amused by John's little step towards Sherlock at 0:11 as the towel fell? He was too far to save it for Sherlock, but he almost tried to help anyway.
@MissVelvie Yes, I saw it too :D Sherlock is getting more and more helpless by the episode. It started with Sherlock demanding John spend an hour getting to Baker Street to send a text, by now we've got John trying to fix Sherlock's somewhat self-inflicted wardrobe malfunctions (yeah, so Mycroft trolled him. But wouldn't have been able to, had Sherlock not humiliated him by showing up at Buckingham Palace dressed in nothing but a sheet because he was too passive aggressive to GET DRESSED!) :p
@Cresendoll It would certainly make more sense. Nobody ever said MYCROFT was asexual. He has a hot but completely useless PA, for a start, she must be keeping her job somehow ;)
@Jeowyn What gave you the idea the PA was (completely) useless? Also, were you going for "funny" or were you being blatantly "sexist" by design?
Here's a thought: Maybe Mycroft's really is the (useless) minor government employee (he claims to be,) while his "Hot" PA is the one actually running the country via her Blackberry. Maybe she's Mycroft's Adele...
@lovemesomcumberbunny What gave me the idea that Anthea was useless? How about that instead of actually doing her job or even LISTENING to her employer, she's forever, FOREVER on her Blackberry? To the extent that she's too spaced out to even listen to Mycroft when he's speaking to her?
@lovemesomcumberbunny And do tell me, while the view is nice up there on your high horse, what gives you the impression that my remark had anything to do with Anthea's GENDER? For God's sake. I would have made the same remark if their genders had been reversed or they had both been the same gender. Show me the bit where I said or even implied "because that's all women are good for." As for where I'm getting that Mycroft is brilliant? The source material. Where Anthea doesn't even exist.
@lovemesomcumberbunny I'll back up on that. I made the connection of Mycroft being into beautiful dark-haired women because his PA apparently spacey and doesn't pay attention to her surroundings or her boss- but is, in fact, a beautiful dark-haired woman. If Irene and Anthea were good-looking dark-haired men and Mycroft female, I would definitely have made the same remark, or if they were all three the same gender. Do THINK these things through before you go accusing people of sexism.
Oh, and Moffat and Gatiss have said the episode is about "Sherlock and love." They've said before there's a difference between "and love" and "IN love", but also, even if that was about Irene- love? Lust I could see, but not love. More than likely that reference spreads much further than The Woman and the episode is likely to address Sherlock's love for others in his life who mean more to him- John, Mycroft, Mrs Hudson, etc. Chillax, folks.
I really don't think anyone need worry too much about Sherlock/Irene. Word of Moffat says she's a gay dominatrix, and the only screwing she and Sherlock are interested in is screwing each other over. If that's true, and I can't see why the creators would downright lie, she's using her sexuality as an attempt at intimidating him- but he's fascinated with her mostly on an intellectual level.
@Jeowyn Oh, thank God. Your comments set my mind at ease. I can't even wrap my head around a Sherlock/Irene pairing; I'd lose my head. Now I'm actually exctied. :)
@SolrSurfr3 The punch was because Sherlock punched him first. Sherlock told John to punch him in the face, when John hesitated he got the ball rolling by hitting him first and that was what he got in return :) Oh and "I've missed something, haven't I?" John Watson, you are a class act. LOL. And of course Sherlock's not really bothered. Asexuality is kind of like that. :)
Why yes my dear watson you have missed something.

@saphira1001 I was (wishing) some US (cable) TV executive would fall in love with the show and pay an exorbitant fee too all the cast and writer's so they would drop everything else an do a full season. So far the (stupid) cable exec is a no show. Darn... But my fingers are still X'd though.
lovemesomcumberbunny 2 months ago
eh. I think dominatrix is rather fitting for Irene -- she was in fact an actress/opera singer in the books. a profession which was frowned upon in the same way back in the day. there's no reason not to suspect that this'll be played out just like in the books -- intellectual flirting at best. when I first saw the clip, I assumed sherlock was trying to get some information out of her. I mean I know she's a woman, but the hate is still staggering.
CheeseLoversUnited 2 months ago 3
@CheeseLoversUnited This is not to meant to be anything, but a sincere inquiry: I have watched this clip several times, but after reading your thoughts I watched it another 3 times. I can't for the life of me see the (staggering hate) you wrote about. What am I missing here?
What I do see are signs of their competition, of their one upmanship, an a rather hot game of cat 'n' mouse, I just don't see, "hate." Enlighten me please...
lovemesomcumberbunny 2 months ago
@lovemesomcumberbunny I was referring to the hate fans seemed to have for her even before the episode aired -- I was in a particularily bad mood at the time about it, but I never really appreciate hate towards female characters when it's obviously coming from a rather petty not to mention misogynistic place. :P called me humourless, I suppose

...Is anyone else amused by John's little step towards Sherlock at 0:11 as the towel fell? He was too far to save it for Sherlock, but he almost tried to help anyway.
MissVelvie 2 months ago 40
@MissVelvie Yes, I saw it too :D Sherlock is getting more and more helpless by the episode. It started with Sherlock demanding John spend an hour getting to Baker Street to send a text, by now we've got John trying to fix Sherlock's somewhat self-inflicted wardrobe malfunctions (yeah, so Mycroft trolled him. But wouldn't have been able to, had Sherlock not humiliated him by showing up at Buckingham Palace dressed in nothing but a sheet because he was too passive aggressive to GET DRESSED!) :p

Cresendoll 2 months ago
@Cresendoll It would certainly make more sense. Nobody ever said MYCROFT was asexual. He has a hot but completely useless PA, for a start, she must be keeping her job somehow ;)
Jeowyn 2 months ago
@Jeowyn What gave you the idea the PA was (completely) useless? Also, were you going for "funny" or were you being blatantly "sexist" by design?
Here's a thought: Maybe Mycroft's really is the (useless) minor government employee (he claims to be,) while his "Hot" PA is the one actually running the country via her Blackberry. Maybe she's Mycroft's Adele...
lovemesomcumberbunny 2 months ago
@lovemesomcumberbunny What gave me the idea that Anthea was useless? How about that instead of actually doing her job or even LISTENING to her employer, she's forever, FOREVER on her Blackberry? To the extent that she's too spaced out to even listen to Mycroft when he's speaking to her?
Jeowyn 2 months ago
@lovemesomcumberbunny And do tell me, while the view is nice up there on your high horse, what gives you the impression that my remark had anything to do with Anthea's GENDER? For God's sake. I would have made the same remark if their genders had been reversed or they had both been the same gender. Show me the bit where I said or even implied "because that's all women are good for." As for where I'm getting that Mycroft is brilliant? The source material. Where Anthea doesn't even exist.
Jeowyn 2 months ago
@lovemesomcumberbunny I'll back up on that. I made the connection of Mycroft being into beautiful dark-haired women because his PA apparently spacey and doesn't pay attention to her surroundings or her boss- but is, in fact, a beautiful dark-haired woman. If Irene and Anthea were good-looking dark-haired men and Mycroft female, I would definitely have made the same remark, or if they were all three the same gender. Do THINK these things through before you go accusing people of sexism.

Oh, and Moffat and Gatiss have said the episode is about "Sherlock and love." They've said before there's a difference between "and love" and "IN love", but also, even if that was about Irene- love? Lust I could see, but not love. More than likely that reference spreads much further than The Woman and the episode is likely to address Sherlock's love for others in his life who mean more to him- John, Mycroft, Mrs Hudson, etc. Chillax, folks.
Jeowyn 2 months ago
I really don't think anyone need worry too much about Sherlock/Irene. Word of Moffat says she's a gay dominatrix, and the only screwing she and Sherlock are interested in is screwing each other over. If that's true, and I can't see why the creators would downright lie, she's using her sexuality as an attempt at intimidating him- but he's fascinated with her mostly on an intellectual level.
Jeowyn 2 months ago
@Jeowyn Oh, thank God. Your comments set my mind at ease. I can't even wrap my head around a Sherlock/Irene pairing; I'd lose my head. Now I'm actually exctied. :)

SolrSurfr3 2 months ago
@SolrSurfr3 The punch was because Sherlock punched him first. Sherlock told John to punch him in the face, when John hesitated he got the ball rolling by hitting him first and that was what he got in return :) Oh and "I've missed something, haven't I?" John Watson, you are a class act. LOL. And of course Sherlock's not really bothered. Asexuality is kind of like that. :)
