Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

I had been wondering whether that was Mark with a lot of makeup or someone else.  Glad to see an answer.

The deer head is a nice touch, I had not noticed it.

I'm a little sceptical of the IMDB page, since I remember it being mentioned somewhere that Molly won't be in this one but she's listed for the special.  Though of course that could be another trick we're being played. There was a voice in the trailer that sounded a bit like it could have been Louise, but I'm not certain because it could be someone that I just thought sounded like her.



Clueing for looks.

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

The nose and the mouth are a bit different. Marks nose is very recognisable.

I agree imdb is not God! We'll see.

I had NO idea how much the hair mattered to me, really not. But it does. God, he looks ten years older than he should.

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

It's not only the looks, he is a different person. A real victorian Sherlock Holmes.
If Mycroft isn't in it, I'm not watching!

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

I like the gothic look of the sets and costumes.

Oh and John looks quite dapper with his hat and moustache. 

The rest.. is silence.

and he doesn't look like Sherlock to me. The curls are VERY important to me and I don't even care if I sound silly.

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

I am actually becoming more and more forgiving about the curls... bur I WILL turn absolutely monsterous if they don't return for season 4

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

He does look older. But to be fair, he actually is older. Even worse: we all are.

Didn't Benedict say a while back that he didn't really like the curls and wanted to change Sherlock's hair? So that would mean that they really aren't returning in s4, OMG, curl cliffhanger. 

Agreed about Mycroft, a Sherlock episode without Mycroft just isn't the same. And I'm just incredibly curious about Mycroft's Victorian look.

Oh Dorothy, you're a true soul sister. I think we need to start a self-help group here. We can call it the Sherly-Curly Sulking Corner.

No, I mean it. He's just not the same without them.


And you're cruel, silverblaze, I hope you know that.
I know BC now looks like he always wanted to look as Sherlock but what does HE bloody KNOW about that anyway!!?!?!
I seriously hope they only let him do that on the condition that he WOULD go back to the curly mob for season 4.


Re: Mycroft's Victorian look, I doubt he'd have to change a single thing about his previous costumes to fit right in!

I guess it is the blessing for viewers who loved Sherlock Holmes way before BBC adaptation appeared (like me) that they are absolutely immune to the slicked up hair looks. It´s a traditional Sherlock looks anyway.
But I bet curls will return in their former glory in S4. It´s one of the distinctive marks of the BBC version, I doubt they let it go like that. In the Special they are channeling Brett and Rathbone (to honor them? to make homage?), but in S4 they would return into their own track again. So don´t worry!

 I have to contest that. Having been a Sherlock Holmes fan before ever Moftiss even conceived the idea for this show does most emphatically NOT make it easier. Because while I always was a fan, I'd never, NEVER been in love with the guy before. Then came the BBC, and that changed, and that's always been what made it special to me.

But yeah, I'll survive. I'll stop complaining now.

I'm giggling too much at the captioned "damned hat" scene right now anyway to feel bad about anything.

Re: The Big Special Picture Thread (spoilers)

So Moftiss were not channeling Granada version while making the Special. They were channeling japanese anime!




The similarity is striking.
