To my shame, or not, I had to look up onanism to know what it meant and I would have never thought of that with Sherlock Holmes.
Narcissistic, yes, definitely. They are meant to be problems to solve. As for onanism, I never took Sherlock Holmes to be a wanker!! I always thought he was rather cool. It has interpreted it in a very clever modern way which I thought was not possible, but they have done it.
As for sublime intellects,have I ever come across one of those me thinks? Human interpretation will always be necessary no matter how much technology develops or were you hoping to retire your own brain? I wonder what your experience is with technology is? I always thought of Sherlock as completely asexual. I commend the BBC for its 21st century revision of the sleuth and his sidekick, and am looking forward to this season. How brilliant to portray Ms Adler as a dominatrix!
Ok, we had to suspend belief that Sherlock could possibly infiltrate the terrorist group in Karachi and actually save Irene from being beheaded by becoming her executioner. Greater love hath…. Of course it was impossible. But Chris, you do find gross inconsistencies in great literature. You can find inconsistencies and too obvious coincidences in all great fiction.
The plots the thing and it MUST move on to its conclusion!!!! The hijacked plane explored the anguish and problem a government has to consider when this happens. The USA has already had to contend with that dilemma of course. It is a dilemma of the modern age. The British government are putting contingencies in place right now for the Olympics this Summer. A Euro fighter roars overhead in Wimbledon as I write this for goodness sake.
The Buckingham Palace involvement is very clever. There are present members of the Royals stupid enough to get into embarrassing situations unfortunately and have done so. Irene Adler sending phone messages from a country she has spirited herself away to. Come on you lot. Just wait for The Reichenbach Fall.
Suspend belief now. You can do it, I know. Then tell me how it works. The BBC update portrayed her, in the end, as nothing more than another damsel in distress. A retrograde step—and one that was entirely unnecessary. Conan Doyle knew his hero would survive being bested by a woman, and even come out as a more rounded character because of it—how sad that the modern writers had no such confidence.
I have not read the original story, and now am curious. I agree with you on this point: the ending seems fixed. I wish they had left the final minutes out. Sorry Vic, this is not right. We must get this right. PBS do not make these series. Have a look at this link. Tony, I too, have made that mistake. I think it has something to do with the way they show the credits here that leaves us with the misunderstanding that our PBS is partners in the creation of these productions, if that helps you understand why an American might have that misconception.
This quote comes from your link and is also visible at the end credits of the show :. The executive producer for Masterpiece is Rebecca Eaton. Co-produce does not imply that PBS makes or produces the series, but does accurately state the nature of the partnership. I interpret this to mean that Ms. In this instance, no cuts were made on Sherlock. American audiences saw the same film as was shown in the UK.
The version we saw on PBS is, indeed, missing 8 or 9 minutes—removed by the show runners to fit the Masterpiece Theater timeslot. It was a treat to watch the show in HD; this episode looks especially sumptuous. Feminist icon? What does Sherlock have to do with Jane? Oh no—more Moslem villains with swords…TV made for American phobias.
Cell phones that magically cannot be traced…even in the most protectively wired city in Europe. Simple tricks with non-linearity that make the plot seem more sophisticated. No more than the usual menu of modern scriptwriters. Moral of story? Hard times when neither of them has the power of committment. I thought it rather apt to use mobile phones as a plot theme. This series was made well over a year ago but it pre-empts, to a certain extent, the Leveson inquiry into phone hacking by newspapers and the trail of e-mails the inquiry is having to sift through.
This is all part of modern investigations. CCTV cameras are not living up to expectations however. Conan Doyle used the technology of the late Victorian early Edwardian period in the original stories such the telephone, bicycles and steam trains so wi fi, mobile phones and e-mails are just an extension. Muslim villains are not necessarily a bow to American phobias. Just checked your blog out Kester. I see you went to Farnborough. I live in Wimbledon, a short drive away. You must know Jane Austen country well.
Are you a southerner like me? I love, love, love, love, LOVE this show! The show, however, has a great script. Tony, completely agree about depiction of Muslim villains. Besides the show was produced by BBC, and nothing to do with America.
The first half hour of the new series dragged so for me, that I turned it off. Look how brilliant Sherlock is. Look how brilliant Miss Adler is. Look at them being brilliant together. She is his nemesis. I hope the next two stories in the new series are better than this first one.
We loved the satire on technology and the actors were superb. The scandal in the palace was about male aides and a royal, so making it a female was annoying. Then there were some loose ends to the plot that were fantasies favoring the idiotic plot lines in the main stream media about the terrorists and M It was deliberate propaganda embedded in the plot to say that terrorists were about to blow up a plane when most terrorist plots when investigated have been proven to be government orchestrated.
When Basil Rathbone hunted Nazis as Sherlock, the updating of politics worked perfectly, but not here. Sherlock should have been cynical.
See the Kurt Haskell blog for an example of a recent non-event. Then the ending — why was The Woman on the plane? Also, the beheading was just another bow to American and British attempts at creating Islamophobia.
