Wow, one hour away and the thread explodes.
KP, appreciative lurkers are always welcome, but it's nice to hear from you. We do our best to find new creative comments. However, sometimes you just have to repeat yourself when the emotions threaten to overwhelm you.
AG, no, you're not a shallow person, not at all, this is an exceptional situation demanding exceptional measures. Area between ribcage and knees, naughty girl.

No, no! KP said that, not me! I just said I look at.... everything. ahem...

SusiGo · September 28, 2012 12:55 pm

Sorry, AG, on my screen it looks as if was the other way round. Whatever, as long as you're both happy with … everything, I shall be happy, too. *fanwhistleswoongiggle*

OK. I confess, I went back to page one of this thread a minute ago, and lookee what I found. This, my friends, is a scene from the 15 minutes of all 6 episodes of Sherlock when I fell in love, and hard. The last 15 minutes of TRF made me not just a believer, but a fan who is both Type A and Type B, lol.

Sherlock Holmes: [talking to John on the phone while on the roof of St. Barts] I'm a fake.
John Watson: Sherlock...
Sherlock Holmes: The newspapers were right all along. I want you to tell Lestrade, I want you to tell Mrs. Hudson and Molly; in fact, tell anyone who will listen to you... that I created Moriarty for my own purposes.
John Watson: Okay, shut up, Sherlock. Shut up. The first time we met - the first time we met, you knew all about my sister, right?
Sherlock Holmes: Nobody could be that clever.
John Watson: You could.

I understand you so well, AG. Although for me it was the voice that did it. The moment I started watching the English version something happened to me. And now you see what became of me.

I remember watching Sherlock for the first time (German dubbed version) I couldn't decide whether Ben was good-looking or not. My eyes were wandering over his face and I was very irritated. But I thought it was all the same because he was just brilliant.
And then came what Susi described and what all you members who only watched the original version won't fully understand: The voice made all the difference. I was absolutely taken by surprise by my own reaction to it. "Thud" is the correct description what must have happened to me then.
Rant mode on. Btw: I've never understood why the film "The Artist" was awarded with so many prizes. There were only two spoken words in it. How can an actor nowadays be reduced just to his pantomime? And be awarded with an Oscar? Do we judge a concert by the nice design of the musical instruments only? By the way, I fell asleep in the cinema (London, Leicester Square) during this film.
Rant mode off.

Do you have a favorite Sherlock voice moment? I think one of mine is in ASiP, when he's seated in the back of the ambulance with the unwanted orange blanket over his shoulders, and he rumbles at Lestrade, "Oh, I wouldn't say that...." mmmmm

tobeornot221b · September 28, 2012 2:13 pm

Oh yes! And in ASiP - lab scene - Sherlock to John: "...quite correctly I'm afraid."

SusiGo · September 28, 2012 2:16 pm

That's a difficult question. I'd go for Hounds, "I don't have friends, I've just got one", followed by the slightly alarmed "John?" Although that might be due to the dialogue as well, says Sentimental Susi.

Speaking of his voice, have you guys listened to all his Jaguar voice-over commercials on you tube? Good lord.... who in heck gets hot, hearing about a normally aspirated engine and naught to sixty miles per hour in 4.2 seconds, and all that car rubbish? lolololol You could take a recording of those commercials to bed with you and do naughty things to that "music". Responsive, agile, and driver-focused, indeed. *laughing again*

Love his British pronunciations, too. Al-yoo-MIN-ee-um for aluminum (we say a-LOOM-in-num). Jag-yoo-are for Jaguar (we pronounce it JAG-wahr.)

SusiGo · September 28, 2012 2:29 pm

I know some of them but not all. Am I totally insane when I start drooling about fluid dynamics and 5 litre supercharge whatever engine???

My favourite comment: These aren't car commercials, they're p**n!

Why?
Isn't that just normal?
I mean, this is all which keeps me upright in all this sh*t at work I have at the moment...

For me the "voice-moment" was when he interviewed the prisoner in TGG. I don't remember the exact words, but hubby and I looked at each other and said "Alan Rickman!" I think that was the point. When it all started. And then it became worse. And worse. And ended up in *faints* *thud* *fans self* *OMG* *pant* *Rrrrrrr* *Oooo* *Yum* *giggle*......

And now go on with your Jaguar porn. I have to do some shopping *whistles*

Favorite voice moment - mine is in my sig line - "And here you are." from aSiP. It's a perfect rejoinder to John's question, does Sherlock "get off on it". In one sentence he side-steps the personal question, points out John's inner psyche, and shows John and the audience the manipulative, yet darkly seductive, aspect of his personality. Brilliant!

This one line always gives me pleasant little shivers. I feel like John because I'm here for the "danger" too. (The seduction aspect isn't bad either).
