why is this so unfailingly funny every single time
BBC Sherlock is the best adaption of Sherlock Holmes because it succeeded in making me despise the character of Sherlock Holmes for the rest of my life (and eternity) and made me never want to touch the stories ever again and that’s what Arthur Conan Doyle would have truly wanted.
I stg at this very moment Arthur Conan Doyle’s ghost is probably floating in front of Steven Moffat’s bed violently sobbing in gratitude and mumbling things like ‘you did it. You finally did it. They all hate Sherlock Holmes. Thank you’
one thing that’s always bothered me about most people’s depiction of Holmes’s usage of cocaine is that most people in Victorian England were only just beginning to realize how badly it affected people???
like tbh I feel like a better modern equivalent would just be Holmes dumping a five hour energy into his fifth cup of coffee while Watson, a trained medical professional, stares at him in horror
I’ve always thought this
This post is my new favorite
No but consider this...we saw the soft side of Mycroft in TFP...so they basically gave us Microsoft
Do continue with what you were doing
Wish we had seen how Mycroft and Eurus deduce stuff, we know what it looks like from Sherlock’s perspective but I feel like it’s different for his siblings.
For Mycroft there are hundreds of more words but so much smaller so that the bigger picture is what he pays attention too, the points that stand out and connect all the smaller ones. To go into the smaller aspects takes much more effort which is why he tries to avoid the “leg work”.
For Eurus everything visible disappears and it’s just pure knowledge surrounding her, everything not in words but formula and constantly flying at her, going so fast it’s hard to keep up. There’s so little that down to Earth that it feels like she’s flying high above everyone else not knowing how to explain it.
If you consider all the trauma and shit Mycroft went through in his childhood, it makes what his parents say to him at the end of the episode all the more fucked up.
Their parents clearly didn’t understand Euros, and Euros in turn must have thought they were stupid too. According to Mycroft’s account, she cut herself and her parents thought it was a suicide attempt. It doesn’t seem like she gave them any reason to think otherwise. However, she told Mycroft the truth. In fact, it seems like the only one she talked to with any mildly serious regard was Mycroft.
Who is supervising the children when they’re playing? Not Mummy and Daddy Holmes, young Mycroft.
When Redbeard aka Victor went missing, it wasn’t the authorities or the Holmes parents who asked Euros where he was. Mycroft says “we.” As in, he too was sent to ask her where the little boy was. Their parents couldn’t get her to talk, “She knows where he is.” “We can’t make her tell us, we can’t make her do anything.”
She continued to tell Mycroft, the song is the answer. But after he couldn’t figure out her song, she told him the truth. She told him it was “drowned Redbeard.” Imagine young Mycroft being told by his sister, that the little boy HE had been supervising during play dates with Sherlock, was dead. There is no doubt in my mind that he would have felt completely responsible for that.
And then Euros burned their house down. He probably would have felt responsible for that too. And responsible for every single thing that happened after.
Unlike Sherlock, he never forgot that trauma either. Sherlock turned it into a lost dog story and forgot he had a sister entirely. But through the entire ordeal and through all the years after, Mycroft knew it was a human being, a kid, missing and dead because of his sister. He also had to live with the knowledge his sister burned down his home, and was then carted off by the authorities.
Then all the years of Sherlock’s drug use, where the heck were the Holmes parents then? We only ever see young Mycroft looking after him, in any way he can, while trying to be successful in his chosen career. I’m surprised Mycroft didn’t turn to drugs himself with all the stress and responsibilities piled on his shoulders!
So for Mummy Holmes at the end of this episode to tell Mycroft he should have done more, and that’s he’s limited. Like, fuck off. He basically gave up his childhood and his life to raise Sherlock and Euros. He feels responsible for the death of Victor, for his sister’s madness, for his brother’s drug use. Like, seriously. He could not have done more if he tried. He was willing to die so Sherlock wouldn’t lose his best friend again.
I just, someone hug Mycroft please. I have all the feels right now!!!! Also sorry if this isn’t the best written thing, wrote it on mobile!

told you Sherlock would have dragged this episode harder than anyone
Top 10 Holmes Brothers Moments:
8: The Holmes brothers literally do not care if there’s an active crime scene going on behind them because carrying on a very old argument over who upset their mother most is FAR more important.
Mummy Holmes thought Sherlock was always the "grownup" because she doesn't know that whenever Sherlock did something bad as a kid Mycroft took the blame for it.

I that am lost; oh, who will find me Deep down below the old beech tree? Help succour me now the east winds blow 16 by six, brother and under we go “I am lost; Help me brother Save my life before my doom I am lost without your love Save my soul, seek my room

Who let sherlock work at Starbucks?
I can’t explain it but there’s something about that scene where mummy Holmes says Mycroft must be “very limited” like along with the dark lightning Mycroft seems deeply hurt by it.
Mycroft: That's a patience grenade, if any of us move we're all dead
Sherlock: Well then why the fuck didn't you tell us that before the motion sensor activated
Mycroft: I love drama

normal people: ask Mycroft about the secret sister
