Episode 1.1, "A Study In Pink"

[Shadow Dweller]

If not because of Sherlock's behaviour toward other people, I would be interested on his Work. Connecting dots to form a complete puzzle is fun. Not saying that I would love to live with him (never can stand the rebel without clue act for a long time) but in the clinical way, I'd love to deconstruct the Holmes brothers' relationship to see what is the real problem. And Mrs. Hudson, kindly stay away please. I am not as nice as Mycroft when it comes to defending my boundaries.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Sherlock does lie, though. Horribly, and especially to John. Of all his traits, that is the one I have the most trouble dealing with. I keep hoping that he will learn that it's a Bit Not Good and stop, especially with John and Molly, because they each in their way trust, aid and adore him, and deserve better.

Oh yes, he does, for cases. I was refering to SIP when they first met, he is probably the most honest person John has known.

Actually I am trying to think when he lies to John and Molly for no reasons.

 

Fake death? He does have good reasons, eventhough it's debatable.

The switch at TEH? That one is c*ck, but I sort of understand that, and it's not mean-spirited. A bit, yes. But that's what friends do XD and that is probably his way because he doesn't really know how to get out from awkward situation.

HLV? He was on case! At least he believes what he does is neccessary.

TGG? He wants to get Moriarty out.

HOB? For a case.

 

Yes, Sherlock lies. But again, he does that for reasons he believes neccessary?

At the very least, he is not two-faced and back-stabber, or white-lies worshipper. Which maybe the traits of most people we encounter daily.

[Arcadia]

He lies by omission a lot too. Not telling John he's going out to meet with the cabbie. Hiding drugs in the flat. Tricking him into taking Sarah to the Chinese circus. And then there's things like flattering Molly just so he can see the dead bodies (I've never quite forgiven him for that.)

Heh.

For a case.

:p

 

Don't blame me. I defend Sherlock when someone picks on him. And I pick on him when someone being too good to him. XD

[Arcadia]

[J.P.]

VBS is just maintaining the balance of the universe.

[Shadow Dweller]

I am thinking to say evil things about Sherlock until VBS defend him enough for me to call her as 'sugary, teeth-rotting sweet' person.

[Arcadia]

Heh heh heh..... (rubs hands with glee)

[J.P.]

Where's the popcorn?

[Van Buren Supernova]

Nahhh... I don't follow my own rule :p, so keep those popcorn for now. My behind is flatten from riding a lot whole day so.. what is that got to do with this thread?

 

Anyway, good threat you have there Shadow, well played. Well played. I will shut up for now, until the day you don't see it coming!! Mahahahaha.....

[Arcadia]

I am patient.......

[Pseudonym]

Completely off topic but not worth starting a new thread for - do we ever, in any episodes, see Sherlock eat?

[J.P.]

Yes. Quite a lot. Surprisingly. :D

[Pseudonym]

Really? I can't remember any scenes strangely. I know we see him drinking a fair bit, tea especially of course  

[Van Buren Supernova]

I remember him eating minced pie after throwing agent through window in SIB (I can understand that :P) and him eating something before he rushes out to rescue John in TEH.

 

We do have a food thread somewhere here. I can't dig it for you now, too tedious doing that on phone, I keep pressing wrong buttons because I am too impatient with the zooming. It should be somewhere in BBC general discussion if I remember correctly.

[sfmpco]

Just noticed the guy who plays the cabbie is in this movie being touted now:

[Sherlock_Holmes]

I just couldn't stop myself from loving the episode... That's all in a nut shell

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hi there, SH -- welcome to Sherlock Forum! . Glad to see you here.

 

How long did it take you to start loving the episode?

[besleybean]

I know a lot of people do love it, with it being the first time we see the boys together.

[Boton]

Here's a good meta on Sherlock eating, FYI:

[besleybean]

Yes, the not eating thing has always been a bit over played by some.

[Boton]

The thing that hasn't been done (and I haven't done it effectively in fan fiction either) is express that Sherlock kind of drops into a crime solving mode where even bodily functions like eating and sleeping are not as interesting as solving the mystery, but the rest of the time he's a normal human being.

Would you care to define "normal"?

[besleybean]

Well, anything not like Sherlock, I would think!

[J.P.]

Shooting walls? Threatening Mrs Hudson with a spear?
