When compared to the craftsmanship of this episode-which is the most perfectly constructed of the uniformly engrossing first six-I feel as if American mystery script writers (don't even talk about the weak and 'Sherlock'-referential "Elementary"!)seem to throw plot misdirection randomly at the fictional wall, hoping something will stick. And this is just losing.Īs someone who has only recently stumbled onto this BBC/PBS series via Netflix, I have to say it has ruined me for US hour-long dramas. Irene Adler: Everything I said - it's not real. You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you've worked for, but you just couldn't resist it, could you? I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. The combination to your safe: your measurements - but this.
When we first met, you told me that disguise is always a self-portrait how true of you. I imagine John Watson thinks love's a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive. because I took your pulse: elevated your pupils: dilated. You don't actually think I was interested in you? Why? Because you're the great Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective in the funny hat? Irene Adler: Sentiment? What are you talking about? sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.
Sherlock Holmes: Oh, enjoying the thrill of the chase is fine, and creating the distraction of the game I sympathize entirely, but SENTIMENT.
