Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

I´m surprised that Sherlock being drunk once, involuntarily, developed to such an issue here. Isn´t England the country with a long tradition of weekend pub crawls? Where men like Winston Churchill, a stong drinker, were successful politicians and it didn´t hurt their reputation the least?  As for Sherlock being not in his best form while solving cases – he was in a much worse state in Jeremy Brett´s version and he still successfully solved his case:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vipgpbtg4xY And because his clients are polite Englishmen, they probably didn´t mention his slight „indisposition“ to anybody.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

I think the issue is not just about Sherlock simply being drunk but about all the implications of these scenes. You sometimes cannot believe they did not read some of the relevant fanfics.

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Yes, they should do their research.

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Oh, I think they did (even if they would never admit it). They just should have left Tessa out of the picture, then it would have been even more obvious,

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Yes. She came definitely in the wrong moment. As did Mrs Hudson in ASiB, by the way (at least this is
what Irene must have thought).

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

They must invest to two good locks and keys and lock both doors next time, to stop the constant interference

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Yes, anyone can just come and go... like Lestrade at the beginning of ASiP. This must definitely stop. Okay, first John has to move into 221B again, then the locks and keys.

Oh crap.
Said that out loud.

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Wouldn't it be boring if you didn't say things like that out loud...?

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

Even reading saucy fan-fics makes me nervous because they have no locks on their doors.  Folks just come and go at random.

"...The vomiting scene, while revolting, gets a chuckle for the prim way Sherlock wipes his mouth after. And it's probably clear from my signature that clueing for looks is my new favourite expression. ...."

Ew. And I'm not into 'JohnLock', so I think the caption to that picture stole my innocence.

(Having watch so much of Benedict's filmography, I've determined that he is not only very good at crying on command but that he is very good at vomiting realistically. Wonder if that features prominently on his resume?)

John: That's clever. So you scratch their backs and...
Sherlock: Yes. And then disinfect myself.

Good one!   The funny thing is, I think he could have got away with saying that.  Everyone would just have laughed and wondered!

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk

I didn't worry at all about getting Sherlock drunk. He's not an alcoholic, so getting shitfaced for one evening wouldn't be worse for him than anyone else.

Love the stag night scene, insanely funny! "Clueing for looks", I lose it every time.

Re: John and Sherlock Drunk


443.7 millilitres…
I've always found this particular number particularly striking, and after thinking about it for a while (the universe is never so lazy…) I made a funny - of course completely useless - observation.
 
The simple division exercise:
 
443.7 : 2 = 221.85
 
made me translate the result into
 
443.7 is twice 221.B (sort of)
 
which, of course, has to mean nothing else but Sherlock's unspoken wish of him and John being - and staying! -together in 221B – a manifestation clearly visible in each of the boys' glasses.
"There's a double reminder – twice 221B – in your glass, John, which I scientifically worked out to be the best for you (and me). But, of course, as ever you see but don't observe…"

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."


I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!
