@MoonPhantom Yeah, I really want Watson to faint, punch Sherlock, but then they hug it out. I am trying to picture Sherlock showing real emotion and finding it difficult...
I can just watch this over, and over, and over... I love it. Jeremy Brett was brilliant as Sherlock Holmes. It is an unspeakable tragedy that he passed away so young, and before the series was completed. Almost 20 years later and I'm still grieving.
I love, love, LOVE how they cleverly focused the camera so to give us a glimpse of Holmes disrobing in the reflection of the bookcase door. Even though it only lasts a second, the tension in that moment makes me bite my lip every time!
I love how Sherlock just waltzed in like 'oh this is gonna be so good. I faked my death and my best friend has been alone for three years. BEST. PRANK. EVAR. Oh, hey bro! It's me! Sherlo- OH CRAP HE'S FAINTED I DID NOT FORSEE THIS'
Just been reminded, he was the E4 man until he died. Now, that voice is everywhere. A strange phenomenon to have been so little-known as an actor, yet so ubiquitous as a voice, even after death! Pick it up at 2.52.
Colonel Moran is played by Patrick Allen whose voice has become THE voice. He has narrated many films and telly shows, serious and tongue-in-cheek and, since his death, has attracted a thousand imitators.
I loved the reunion scene. The best part was when Holmes was hesitating to tell Watson about what had happened to him and Watson said that he was all right now.
as soon as I saw the eyes I knew it was him and I read the book :) Might I add that the part when Holmes reviles himself to Watson is almost word for word whats in the book.
At 6:39, Brett's pose mimics the original Sidney Paget drawing of this exact same moment quite precisely. Very impressive preparation and work on Brett's part to handle such a critical moment so well!
@thexalon I've noticed that Jeremy Brett (in the earlier episodes at least) resembles many of the original drawings by Sidney Paget. It's kind of awesome.
Originally, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did kill off Sherlock Holmes in his books, but, due to public uproar at the murder of the character, he had to write another story, explaining how Holmes didn't really die and why everyone thought he was dead. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that he's alive, but why would the public force him to change fate? If the series was done, than it should have ended there.
those are sevral of the thing that were running through my mind when holmes took of that weird coustume, i new there was something familer (from watching episods) about his voice.
wait a minute right there. brandy does not fix everything dammit. ive seen many a episode of holmes where hey use brandy to fix things. watch the greek interpreter you'll understand better.
The guy who plays the assassin is the same guy who narrates the begining of the 1988 Jack the Ripper movie starring Michael Caine.. Not a lot of people know that !!
I have made a remarkable discovery. If you have the classical music track called 'Nimrod' by Edward Elgar, from his collection of tunes called Enigma Variations, then fetch that, turn off the sound from this video and start the track playing at exactly 4:19 in the video and watch through to around 8:05. It is mindblowingly powerful and moving. Once I learn how to upload videos, rather than just picture slide shows, I will set this little length to that music for you.
Me conmovió tanto cuando Holmes abrió sus brazos para abrazar a Watson, pero él se desmaya a causa de la sorpresa y felicidad de verlo vivo luego de tres años de ausencia. En el libro también hay esa sensación de sopresa. ¡Oh, y la escena donde muestran el primer plano de los ojos grises de Jeremy Brett, aahhhhh!
That was by far the best scene of Watson and Holmes I have ever seen ever- their reunion was very well done, and I couldn't keep the grin off my face at the affection passing between them.
I'm rewatching the Granada series. Jeremy Brett is marvellous in this part of the "reunion"! One af my absolute favourite parts. How does he do it :D:D
isnt it meant to be inspector lestrad instead of lestrADE? well, it is written lestrade, but i always thought the british said lestRAD.
i smiled when the old man showed up. smiled. and when you see the reflection of him straightening up, i smiled even more. and brett shows up in his handsome self. 'do you mind if i smoke a cigarette in your consulting room, watson?' squee!
If I remeber correctly, Doyle wanted to move on, thus ending Sherlock BUT he couldn't make as much $ so was talked into going on. The problem I've had with it is the time frame. I'm with Argenta. A friend would have no excuse or reason for doing this to another friend, especially how close they had been. I didn't really care for the writing that much after that. It just didn't seem the same. . And Watson could have had a heart attack... I've never seen this one either, so thanks again Anish.
lol the sound of Watson fainting's kind of funny.. mostly cause it's so quiet and almost soundless xD and Holmes looked good in that outfit in that scene :3
I have always wondered what Watson tought at the moment when he suddenly learned Holmes wasn't dead. Neither his mid went completely blank or he tought: " Whathowwhenwheresrfghjklrnwrtsfsss..." *faint*
"Watson, would you mind if I should smoke a cigarette in your consulting room?"
*FAINT!*
Now THAT is just perfect Holmes/Watson interaction... as usual, Holmes has something miraculous up his sleeve (in this case, to Watson it appears no less than a ressurection!) and, as usual... Watson can't believe it (again... *FAINT!*) ;)
@diddymuck Ah, but put yourself in Watson's place, my friend! Would you, after three years of believing your closest friend was dead, be able to see through the disguise? People typically don't tend to see things they aren't looking for and if I truly believed my best friend had shuffled of this mortal coil, I certainly wouldn't be looking for him to pop into my study, flimsy disguise or no! ;3
@TheSleepingSage I agree Wattson was competely sure that Holmes was dead so would have no reason to suspect,
also Holmes is a master of disguise the stories always point out that not only does he change his appearance but also his personality and demeanor which is probably even more misleading than the appearance because so much of recognizing someone is how they talk, carry themselves, etc.
That judge is such a snob. You would think Watson's time with Holmes would give him a little credit, but the judge just dismisses him and doesn't even trouble himself to remember his name.
Holmes's reappearance -- perfect! Just the way I imagined it! You could tell that even Holmes was giddy with excitement (well, giddy for him) at seeing his best friend again after 3 long years.
I've read the book a couple of weeks ago and was rather suprised about what happened to Holmes, because I hadn't (and still haven't) read the story before this one, but it's still nice to see this reunion. It's cute and it shows what good friends Holmes and Watson were. If I remember correctly, this was the first and only time Watson EVER fainted in his life so thats says enough. :-)
Courts in the 19th Century were dominated needlessly by the class system (great attention to nobility's need for sport) and the speculation of police versus forensic examination. I am glad I live in the 21st Century.
@cameron120587 oh, i thought it was the inquest, if it's an inquest it would be a coroner. I believe the public are allowed to attend inquests. I must watch the episode again. Thanks for your comment!
I love the part between 6:34-6:45! i would have fainted too. I even got weepy when he showed up. Even though I've read this story, it still chokes me up!
Does anybody else think Holmes is kind of an asshole to use a disguise like that in front of Watson? But still it's very moving. Watson can't stop grinning.
I mean, if I were Watson, I'd be mad. "Holmes?! You're alive?! I'm gonna kill you!"
@rebeccatrishel no i disagree...its a very holmish thing to do if you know what i mean....after all, people were still trying to kill him so it was self preservation as well
@rebeccatrishel Originally Holmes was meant to be dead. Doyle later "resurrected" him and explained his reappearance with him feigning death to prevent retribution from his enemies.
@peri2502 Yeah, Doyle originally meant for Holmes to stay dead, but the outcry from both the public and his publishers convinced him to bring Holmes back.
you know, if you listen closely, the book keeper rolls his r's the same way as holmes, so you can sort of see it coming, even if you haven't seen the episode or read the book...
I remember that I anticipated it was him when I first saw it. I never had the opportunity to hear his real voice before ( I am from Germany and we unfortunately ruin movies by dubbing them). Jeremy Bretts voice is breathtaking and adorable!
um, HELLOOO!! it's called subtitles! hey, when I watch anime, i watch subtitles. when i watch movies from another language, i watch subtitles... somebody upload a german subtitle for this girl!
you too? I just stopped watching the dubbed version (in my case, in French), it made holmes and watson (ESPECIALLY watson) absolutely ridiculous... They should be ashamed to sell those things!
@GorgeousGirl200 i couldnt stop giggling!!! lmao!! but what's really great is you can see him changing in the reflection on th glass... one would wonder why watson didn't notice that...
You can see the great friendship these too had for each other. Notice how Holmes, when he first acknowledged himself, he opened his arms as to hug Watson, but instead Watson was so much in shock that he fainted like a little school girl. Notice as well when Holmes recounted his Moriarty adventure, by automatic Holmes cried out for Watson, but caught himself in time. Now Holmes ALWAYS does things after careful thinking and reflection. Shows how much he was really attached to Watson.
@pinkpearlbutterfly you're right! it shows how deep and warm their friendship is. Holmes didn't want his enemies kwow he was still alive but i'm sure that he didn't call in order to protect Watson. Since, They wouldn't hesistate to kill Watson too if necessary. But Holmes face shows so clear how he was touched seeing how much he means for his dear friend, and also the remorse and the pain to hurt his friend so much.
@CrystalDiode thanks! I also want to say kudos to the director, as even though sometimes these have a scene or two that are not in the book, they're always true to the spirit of Holmes and his personality. It's a shame that other great books have not been reproduced so faithfully :)
Best scene in the whole series at 6.34. When Holmes and Watson are reunited it's so sad,sweet and funny all at the same time.Jeremy and Edward are amazing in this episode.And are the best Homes and Watson.You can really feel the friendship between these two compared to David Burke(although he is good as Watson).Thanks for posting.
@cassandra5322 "oh i think im about to faint. here drink some whiskey." Brandy. Back then it was normal to use alcohol as a "constitution strengthener" if someone felt weak or to revive them. Kind of strange since alcohol's a depressant but, hey, I guess it worked.
I love the reunion, it warms my heart every single time. Holmes' face...that smile when Watson wakes from fainting just melts my heart. Brett's Holmes doesn't half make me swoon :)
is not it interesting to see these two guys how they greet each other after three years...it could not be more English than this!!! Even not a full sized! hug, let alone kisses!
@LordShagrath Well, some of them might actually be British but I personally(and I'm sure other people too) tend to echo British vocabulary when I'm watching something with such a dialect in it. Don't know why but it's something I do.
Maybe because it's a good argument? I've always been more of a fan of Rathbone, but you seem to state as a fact, that "Jeremy Brett is the best portrayal of sherlock holmes", when don't you mean that it's your bloody opinion. Not everyone's. There are a lot of people that prefer Brett, and he's not bad, just not my Holmes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Depends how you define charisma. I didn't find Brett to be particularly charismatic at all to be perfectly honest. But, again, that's just my opinion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Funnily enough, that's how I see it as well. But in Brett it just seemed cocky arrogance. And to be honest, neither of them are really what Holmes is like in the books, so neither are perfect. Rathbone works for me, Brett works for you.
Arrogance? Well, you have right, but that is what gave a little charm to him. But, that of the original is a little stupid. What the matter if the actor is better than the original?
Oh hai Watson I'm just casually strolling back in here. Hug teim now!?

@peri2502 Yeah, Doyle originally meant for Holmes to stay dead, but the outcry from both the public and his publishers convinced him to bring Holmes back.

@rebeccatrishel it's better for him that to be killed by Moriarti's friends!

you know, if you listen closely, the book keeper rolls his r's the same way as holmes, so you can sort of see it coming, even if you haven't seen the episode or read the book...

I remember that I anticipated it was him when I first saw it. I never had the opportunity to hear his real voice before ( I am from Germany and we unfortunately ruin movies by dubbing them). Jeremy Bretts voice is breathtaking and adorable!

you too? I just stopped watching the dubbed version (in my case, in French), it made holmes and watson (ESPECIALLY watson) absolutely ridiculous... They should be ashamed to sell those things!

Poor Watson. His expertise brushed aside and ignored while the coroner values the "evidence" (next to nothing) provided by a bunch of bluebloods.

cassandra5322 2 years ago 8
You can see the great friendship these too had for each other. Notice how Holmes, when he first acknowledged himself, he opened his arms as to hug Watson, but instead Watson was so much in shock that he fainted like a little school girl. Notice as well when Holmes recounted his Moriarty adventure, by automatic Holmes cried out for Watson, but caught himself in time. Now Holmes ALWAYS does things after careful thinking and reflection. Shows how much he was really attached to Watson.

You don't find friendships like that nowadays. It's just so sweet and funny at the same time. Long live Holmes & Watson!
pinkpearlbutterfly 2 years ago 9
@pinkpearlbutterfly you're right! it shows how deep and warm their friendship is. Holmes didn't want his enemies kwow he was still alive but i'm sure that he didn't call in order to protect Watson. Since, They wouldn't hesistate to kill Watson too if necessary. But Holmes face shows so clear how he was touched seeing how much he means for his dear friend, and also the remorse and the pain to hurt his friend so much.

@CrystalDiode thanks! I also want to say kudos to the director, as even though sometimes these have a scene or two that are not in the book, they're always true to the spirit of Holmes and his personality. It's a shame that other great books have not been reproduced so faithfully :)

Best scene in the whole series at 6.34. When Holmes and Watson are reunited it's so sad,sweet and funny all at the same time.Jeremy and Edward are amazing in this episode.And are the best Homes and Watson.You can really feel the friendship between these two compared to David Burke(although he is good as Watson).Thanks for posting.

@cassandra5322 "oh i think im about to faint. here drink some whiskey." Brandy. Back then it was normal to use alcohol as a "constitution strengthener" if someone felt weak or to revive them. Kind of strange since alcohol's a depressant but, hey, I guess it worked.
And the not-hug is so totally adorable :-)

@LordShagrath Well, some of them might actually be British but I personally(and I'm sure other people too) tend to echo British vocabulary when I'm watching something with such a dialect in it. Don't know why but it's something I do.

I must say, while I love the portrayal of Watson in these episodes, I've never been too keen on Brett's portrayal of Holmes.
cheeserape 2 years ago
my dear friend. Jeremy Brett is the best portrayal of sherlock holmes. I don´t understand how could you not see the excelent role that he portrayal.
selenaselvagem 2 years ago 3
"my dear friend" I don't understand why you were never taught what the word "opinion" means.
cheeserape 2 years ago
Yes, i know. " everyone have their opinion". The usual argument.
selenaselvagem 2 years ago 2
Maybe because it's a good argument? I've always been more of a fan of Rathbone, but you seem to state as a fact, that "Jeremy Brett is the best portrayal of sherlock holmes", when don't you mean that it's your bloody opinion. Not everyone's. There are a lot of people that prefer Brett, and he's not bad, just not my Holmes.
cheeserape 2 years ago
Well. I saw the act of Rathbone and i must say that ins´t good. He didn had carisma and character.

Depends how you define charisma. I didn't find Brett to be particularly charismatic at all to be perfectly honest. But, again, that's just my opinion.
cheeserape 2 years ago
well. What is for you, carisma? For me, what missed in Rathbone was elegance, attitude and trust in himself
selenaselvagem 2 years ago 2
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Funnily enough, that's how I see it as well. But in Brett it just seemed cocky arrogance. And to be honest, neither of them are really what Holmes is like in the books, so neither are perfect. Rathbone works for me, Brett works for you.
cheeserape 2 years ago
Arrogance? Well, you have right, but that is what gave a little charm to him. But, that of the original is a little stupid. What the matter if the actor is better than the original?
selenaselvagem 2 years ago
Arrogance and charm don't really go hand in hand that well. No matter to that at all, I just don't think that's the case.
