Des specialistes de Sherlock Holmes ?

Y a-t-il des spécialistes français, suisses ou anglais de Sherlock Holmes ? Ou de gens capables de l'analyser du point de vue psychologique par exemple ?
J'ai beau chercher sur internet, je ne trouve pas.

I had forgotten about the events of last episode. While rewatching, I couldn't help but bawl.

I was rewatching the last season after like 2-3 years. Usually I just randomly selected something from the first 3-4 seasons and watched while eating food.

I had forgotten that Watson got a lump removed and was due for chemo in a month.

Today when I watched it and Sherlock cried while hugging her insisting he would stay, I just couldn't control myself.

Not the right platform but I got diagnosed with cancer a few months back and I'm undergoing chemo. My babies were 7 month old at the time of my diagnosis and the way I was shit scared that I'll die leaving them without a mother, made me go crazy till the prognosis was given.

Seeing that Watson adopted a child recently and then she got this shitty thing, made me cry.

Mycroft's ruse

Question: Mycroft was working with British Intelligence when he lied and told Sherlock that his father wanted him to return to London, then called what I assume was his handler to say that his ruse didn't work and that they would have to come at the problem some other way.

Why did he need to get rid of Sherlock? It turned out that Le Milieux kidnapped Joan and Mycroft said that he could get the 'list' for them in exchange for Joan, but what was the scheme before Joan got herself kidnapped?

His utter disbelief 😋

Holmes: You're annoyed with me?

Watson: Yeah, I am. I have been since you broke up with Fiona. She was great. You really liked her.

Holmes: WATSON!!

Two things I really wish the writers had implemented into the show on a permanent basis, rather than just mentioning them occasionally

  1. Watson being a writer. This was one of the most interesting things about other adaptations for me. It was mentioned her writing here and there, but they really missed the opportunity to make it a bigger part of her character and show her eventually becoming a well-known writer or something along those lines.

  2. Sherlock playing the violin. Imo this was missing too (kinda). Maybe they thought teaching Jonny how to play the violin would be too much trouble, but I would've loved to see this version of Sherlock play the violin at least from time to time rather than bashing it.

Another One, Very Late to the Party

I am utterly unaware of these things it seems and stumbled across this show last month thinking I had just discovered something new. After watching the first season, I discovered that there were in fact seven seasons and that I was late by 14 years.

I confess to liking most interpretations, films, and adaptations of Sherlock and companion, but I am now through three seasons of this and have genuinely enjoyed it so far. The duo is wonderful together, and though I am not an addict myself, knowing many, I believe the journey of recovery is depicted quite accurately, even with Sherlock’s extremes of intelligence and obsessive behavior.

I also did not expect an artistic turtle, but then that goes for so many things unexpected in this series. I also could not place Jonny Lee Miller until I read of the Hackers role and realized I've seen him in several things though he's changed dramatically.
On to season four! Better late than never.

Too late, too late will be the cry...

I'm on my 3rd re-watch, and have come to A Landmark Story. (S01 e21) Every time I watch this episode, I'm struck by Moran's song as he's being led away after having killed a guard: "Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the woman with the bags passes by."
I've tried several times to find the source of this line, and the evidence is surprisingly scant.

One of the things that keeps coming up is the movie "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." In the opening scene, Bacon (played by Jason Statham in his film debut) calls out while selling stolen goods, "too late, too late, will be the cry, when the man with the bargains passes by." Now, Jason Statham has previously been a street vendor; and I have seen at least 1 person from London say that they've heard that line many, many times in market areas.

(Regarding the song itself: it seems to be adapted from an old hymn.)

Additionally, Vinnie Jones plays a character named Victor Moran. One of his costars in Lock Stock was an actor named Nick Moran, who has gone on to be a successful director. So, it's a reasonable to surmise that Vinnie Jones had some input to the naming of his character as well as some of his lines.

(Additional fun facts: Vinnie Jones was a footballer before being cast in Lock Stock. Apparently the script said that the character "looked like English footballer Vinnie Jones." And he was was a pretty rough customer: he'd been imprisoned for beating up his neighbor and was only released a day before filming began.)
