The Musgrave Ritual - Part 5 of 5 (Sherlock Holmes)

[jivesublime]

I like the way it  opened, with that blond woman , raising her skirt in invitatation and her smile to back it up. That in any language on earth is understood. Lesse bon tempes rolle!

let the good times roll in the hay.

[waterpimpernell]

oh my holmes sat in front of the fire arms bared that devlish grin and that thing he does with his eyes sure i am not only one who sees that downward eye turn delish how i wish jeremy hadnt been taken so young and had been able too do more holmes though i bet he got fed up of the role at times sigh rest jb xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[dreasim]

"come on woman do as i tell you" hmmm he ends up dead lol

[robertquentincobb]

Another excellent Jeremy Brett episode! Indeed this was more of a who-done-it mystery. Sherlock Holmes forever.

[JonFrumTheFirst]

It's interesting that while Doyle would write about 'our most illustrious families,' and bow down to aristocracy, he would also sometimes tweak them. Here, the butler is more intelligent than his 'master.'

[numo97]

Weirdest sherlock Holmes ending ever?

[hadassah179]

If he was soo smart he should've grabbed the box and climbed back out to look at it.

[ozzymate666]

cool episode, thanks again!

p.s. there all cool = )

[TwistedHarbinger]

Hmm. Jot that down as one of the top ten ways NOT to die.

[ehc43]

@TwistedHarbinger LOL, Umm, YAHH!!!

[Imverycute2]

"... once encircled the brrrows of the Royal Stuarts." I love Holmes!

[Nevenius]

@Imverycute2 These Royal Stuarts were Kings of Scotland. So, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as Scotsman himself was maybe well impressed with the fact that Sir Walter Scott found genuine crown in Edinburgh Castle. (pardon my English grammar)

[Imverycute2]

@Nevenius Actually, I was commenting on how much I adored the way JB said it, particularly when he rolled the R in "brrrows". :)

But thank you for the info all the same.

[ctweebee]

@Nevenius Your spelling is perfection.

[Krizushi]

OH, no he don't been killed at all... oh well...

[peterlust26]

So this is what I've been looking for!

I just recently started reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, the second of which was "the Musgrave Ritual"

To my surprise I found out that it was this TV-adaptation of that story was the one that gave me traumas as a kid. First the sight of that man reaching up at me from the pit, and if that wasn't bad enough, the woman floating to the surface!

Thanks for dragging up the memories...

[13thAngelOfDoom]

Finally, Watson explained Holmes methods

[SV2609]

Well at the end Sherlock's guess was as good as mine!!

[GodsWildfire]

Oh, she died here.

[TAfan2]

Lol, every time they show that blond girl, she's always running and screaming XD

This is one of my favorite episodes.

[74powers]

She did not kill him rather she did not save him either

[alguien1234]

She locks him! (In the book, she locks him).

[lollipopfop]

@alguien1234 Why doesn't he just get a stick and prop it open and not get Rachel involved at all?

[alguien1234]

According to the book, one person alone couldn't have the strength to open the trapdoor ... and he doesn't imagined that Rachel would leave him locked.

[ctweebee]

@alguien1234 She didn't run for help. Why? What were the three mysteries?  The disappearance of the butler, the house keeper and the meaning of the riddle. Why didn't she run for help? Probably fear of being dismissed, as the butler was.

[grandcranium]

she din look too good in the end

[silkstone001]

great , i love the ending, but I was hoping for more then what the clue suggested what it may have been. lol no im not giving away the end you'll have to watch the entire thing

[sherbuy]

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.

[guitargal666]

what's the saying about a woman scorned?

[kaisenji]

That passionate celtic soul! I'm decendent of Welsh blood, mind you its thin as soup.

[121Swaleskid]

@kaisenji Welsh ftw :3

[atgblue1]

@kaisenji hmm, well dont you EVER get near me when I have a 300 pound slab or iron over my head as I am looking through a treasure chest of rusted and corroded bits of crown. . . .

[Sshelly34213]

WOW...Rachel's...a BITCH.

[thanosbikos]

lol yes, pretty much!

[Sshelly34213]

I mean what a mean thing to do..to leave him to suffocate??

To die all by himself?

its not even the fact that she killed him, it was clearly a crime of passion, but the fact that she did it like that..
