Sherlock: S1:E1 (A Study In Pink)

**NOTE: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SHERLOCK BUT ARE PLANNING TO. THERE ARE EXTREME SPOILERS.**

There is a lot of swearing in this chapter.

Live Thoughts:

00:01: Okay... I'm ready.

00:38: HOLY SHIT

1:03: Okay Mr. "Let's-Stand-Up-Perfecty-Straight". Jeez.

1:16: NO DON'T LEAVE MEEE MR LSUPS NOOOO

1:18: HE HAS RETURNED!!! :D

1:35: OMFG IT WAS WATSON

1:41: I gotta turn the captions on, I can't hear shit.

2:13: AWWWWW SHIT IT SAYS SHERLOCK

2:38: MOFFAAAATTTT.  (I had to)

3:05: EXTREME CLOSE-UP.

3:22: What. What. No. NO! MOFFAT! MOFFAT!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!

3:32: That guy sitting next to her does not give one fuck as to what has happened.

4:26: DON'T DO IT. NOOO. YOU NEED TO GET AN UMBRELLA. NOOO.

6:45: SH. SHERLOCK HOLMES. I KNEW THAT ONE. OHMIGOD I LOVE THIS.

8:01: JOHN WATSON IS MAH MAN.

8:33: CUMBERBATCH. CUMBERBATCH. CUMBERBATCH.

8:35: Sherlock's first words: "How fresh." Just thought you should know.

8:48: They should make Sherlock regenerate into David Tennant in Season 3. Shut up my obsession is unhealthy. Wholocking it won't help.

10:02: HOLY SHIT SHERLOCK AFGHANISTAN OR IRAQ

10:05: You can definetley see the resemblence in Dialogue from Doctor Who and Sherlock. 

11:37: 221B BAKER STREET HOLY SHIT

12:40: WHOAWHOAWHOA WAIT BACK THE FUCK UP WHO WAS PICKING UP THE PILLS BECAUSE IT BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN MOLLY. I LIKE MOLLY.

13:50: I feel like this little showing of 221B Baker Street is like, SUPER important, like when the TARDIS was shown the first time.

16:09: SERIOUSLY. The Doctor and Sherlock should be Best Friends. They both have to do things their own way, both are quite clever, and both say BRILLIANT!

17:06: Watson reminds me of a male, more bad-ass Rose Tyler. Don't ask.

20:10: "Now Clara, Who's Clara?" SHE'S THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRRRRL

20:55: OHMIGOD AFTER SHERLOCK GOES THROUGH THE WHOLE PHONE THING WITH HIS DETECTIVE JOB HE JUST LOOKS LIKE HE LETS OUT A SMALL BREATH ALL NONCHALONTLEY AND I THINK THAT SMALL MOVE JUST CAPTURED HIS PERSONALITY COMPLETLEY

21:39: DAFUQ HARRY IS SHORT FOR HARRIET LIKE WHAT I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT MOFFAT

22:30: I've got it. Benedict Cumberbatch's voice is a mix of the Doctor (from the attitude of it) and Severus Snape (We can all tell why there)

23:46: Nope. It's not Molly. That's good.

24:49: I love how it shows the text on the screen with all the clues he's figuring out as he figures them out.

30:41 IT'S TOO INSTENSE I FORGET TO WRITE MY FEELINGS. FROM NOW ON I'LL ONLY WRITE HERE WHEN IT'S IMPORTANT

41:12: There is something up with Watson. Hmm...

43:44: The first thing I've learned from Sherlock: Always text.

4713: OHMIGOD WHEN THE PHONE RINGS IT ALL MAKES SENSE

48:04: "And I said dangerous, and here you are." OMFG SHERLOCK YOU CHEEKY BASTARD

49:50: "I'd have gone to prison if it weren't for this man!" "You did go to prison."

52:55: WTF JOHN YOU HAVE A JACKED UP LEG STOP DOING PARKOUR

59:22: OHMIGOD I LOVE HOW SHERLOCK HATES ANDERSON OMFG "Anderson, don't talk out loud, you lower the I.Q. Of the whole street."

1:05:17: NO SHERLOCK!! DON'T GET IN THE TAXI!! DON'T. GET IT. THE TAXI.

1:09:24: I still think something is up with Watson getting that gun earlier...

1:22:05: The shooter.. was Watson... Oh my God, did Watson just save Sherlock? Or did Sherlock have the good pill?!

1:24:24: Watson: "You'd risk your life to prove you're clever?" You can so tell Steven Moffat wrote this. He just loves the word "clever".

1:25:27: MYCROFT IS HIS BROTHER> HIS ARCH ENEMY IS HIS BROTHER. OHMIGOD

OHMIGOD

OHMIGOD

OHMIGOD.

Overall thoughts:

IN CASE YOU IGNORED THE WARNING IN THE BEGINNING ABOUT SPOILERS AND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE EPISODE, THIS PARAGRAPH GIVES AWAY THE ENTIRE ENDING.

I liked how they didn't make Sherlock this extreme badass character who does everything right. Especially when him and the cabbie are talking at the table, and he's holding the pill, Steven Moffat didn't make Sherlock eat the pill and have him magically have the good one. He made this extreme plot twist that all tied together. Not only that, but you can tell that when Sherlock was holding the pill, he seemed unconfident and vulnerable, as if he didn't know what would happen, so we know that Sherlock does have a vulnerable and weak side to himself.

There is also the fact that it would have been expected that at the last possible second, Dr. Watson would magically burst through the doors and save Sherlock. But no. Moffat cleverly made it that Watson ended up in the wrong room and saw the two talking, but they couldn't see/hear him shouting for Sherlock. Then, (not at the last possible moment, but somewhere in between dialogue), Watson shoots the cabbie. I think that perfectly displayed how he didn't knwo what was going on and just guessed what was happening. For all he knew they could have been old colleagues and the cabbie wasn't the murderer at all. Also, I liked how he shot the cabbie in the middle of his sentence, because shooting him ight after would suggest that Watson knew what was going on, which he didn't.

In just an hour and a half, they were able to display Sherlock and Watsons thoughts, but also give the viewers new looks on the serial killer and Mycroft, instead of just "They were villians."

I love this show so much.
