rashaka:last-snowfall: #can i mention how cool it is to have a variation of sherlock holmes where he says stuff like this #because it’s important #and this episode is my favourite so far because it’s surprisingly accurate #and it was just great to hear him say this #because sherlock holmes is of course intelligent and a modern sherlock would know this #and even though this holmes does have that social crass and indelicacy he’s softer in some ways to the others #which is what makes him different and a new take and interesting to watch #he’s a rare fictional example of a character who is pragmatic and driven and a bit socially blunt but also has a firm moral intelligence too #just because a character can be blunt and rude and not understand that they’ve just insulted someone doesn’t have to mean #that they don’t understand right from wrong (via teacupsandcyanide)The irony being, of course, that this is actually much more in tune with the original, ACD Holmes than many interpretations.The original Holmes went after Moriarty because Moriarty lived off the suffering and misery of other people.#the point isn’t that the show is groundbreakingly good#the point is that it highlights what’s so terribly wrong about other adaptations. -- source link
