And this, and so much more?
The audience has known Sherlock for 21 episodes. They’ve created this incredible show — Lucy [Liu], Jonny and Rob — with his quirkiness, his genius and his idiosyncrasies. So now, the audience, after 21 episodes, have gotten to a place where they think they know the rhythm. Sherlock and Watson have found a rhythm, their friendship has blossomed, and the audience is feeling confident and familiar with the repartee that happens between Sherlock and Watson. And what happens is Irene walks back into Sherlock’s life and Watson is complete on the back foot because she doesn’t recognize Sherlock and the audience doesn’t recognize Sherlock. This is a side of Sherlock that you haven’t been privy to in those 21 episodes. It informs all the other stuff, the mysterious stuff that you still don’t know about him. It’s like there’s a rewind. It’s like the disjointedness and the tension in the relationship between Sherlock and Watson in the early episodes because this is a side of his personality that he hasn’t revealed to anyone, be it Watson or the audience. - Natalie Dormer {x}
Also when Sherlock said “This taste in my mouth is horrid!” it reminded me of when i was researching drug addiction for a book that that can be a symptom of withdrawal, but i think it can be for cravings as well.
Later on before he pushes the board over, he says his muscles are stiff, rubs his face/head a lot, which to me was a clear indication he was craving as well.
Sir… it’s Sherlock Holmes!
does the majority of the fandom realise sherlock holmes is not some sex god but is actually a giant egotistical, psychotic, misogynic sack of shit
He would have kept it - People do: sentiment
So, this whole rambling was started by a single detail in one of the first scenes of ASiP: the Union Jack cushion we can see amidst Sherlock’s scattered things in the flat the first time John and he go to see it together.
He wouldn’t stop poking me. He seemed very confused. -SH
