I am super-huge fan of heroic-fantasy. So this isn’t a big surprise I have waited for so such a long time the famous Tolkien’s book The Hobbit to be filmed. I have watched and read several times The Lord of the Rings and I have read The Hobbit a lot.

I wanted to see how Peter Jackson would adapt Tolkien’s first novel. This project sounded very interesting for me. This man is so talented and he knows how to make wonderful stories wonderful movies.

So I waited for nine long years while reading and watching my other big passion: mysteries and polars. My mother and my sister make me discover Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes. But I prefer the second one.

I have watched several adpatations of Sherlock Holmes’ adventures and I was never disappointed. The actors were wonderful and they brought each of them something different to the detective.

Actually, I have never been bored while watching Sherlock Holmes. This man has an interesting personnality. Conan Doyle was such a genius by creating such a character!

Yet I was  very eager to discover The Hobbit. And reading newspapers about how the future adaptation was allways reported made me sader and sader. Actually no studios wanted to have an agreement in order to give money to Peter Jackson to adapt the famous novel.

Then when I lost all hopes for the future adaptation I learned Peter Jackson chose his lead actor: Martin Freeman. I heared about this actor before of course. It seemed to be a good choice.

But it wasn’t as if I watched the movie. So I watched TV Shows and other movies. This is how I discovered Sherlock. I saw the summary and I told my mother: it’s about Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century.We watched it liked it a lot!

Then I toke a look to the actors’ names and I saw Martin Freeman. I couldn’t believe it. This man acts in The Hobbit and in Sherlock.

Then I toke a look to Benedict Cumberbatch’ filography. (I discovered this actor thanks to Sherlock.) And I saw he acted in The Hobbit… too!

I have done more researches about the two actors and I admit they do good choices in acting and movies. Those works are awesomeness.

I know Peter Jackson’s, Tolkien’s, Conan Doyle’s, Benedict Cumberbatch’ and Martin Freeman’s works are awesomeness.

This leads me to the unique conclusion:

 I waited those nine years for predictable awesomeness for The Hobbit and I think I will be able to wait two short years for Sherlock.

I have allways wondered since I entered this fandom, why people hate this wonderful woman. When I say enter, this means into Internet because I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes since thirteen years. Moreover I have been amazed by A Scandal in Bohemia because Sherlock Holmes was capable of love and a woman was able to reach such a man heart!

Reason 1: I am a huge JohnLock Fangirl.

Okay, I understand why you love this pairing but I don’t think it was in Conan Doyle’s mind at all. Conan Doyle depicted a purely platonic relation between Sherlock and John. Besides, when Sherlock Holmes speaks about John Watson in the books, he tells John Watson is his only friend, not lover.

I know perfectly the new BBC show makes people wonder but this is purely friendship. I believe this confusion comes from other characters’ belief. They all believe they are gays but it is false.

Reason 2: I believe Sherlock Holmes is asexual.

I fear it’s false. Sherlock Holmes prefers being alone to solve his cases in a better way. In The Greek Interpreter where Mycroft Holmes is introduced, John Watson believes Sherlock Holmes is an orphan because he never speaks of family or friends. I can tell you John Watson has one of the biggest shock of his life when he learns about Mycroft Holmes’ existence.

Moreover this man prefers an antisocial life in order to keep his wonderful brain safe from this human relations. I don’t say he wants to be alone because Sherlock Holmes enjoys being with someone and talking with this person.

And in the BBC show, Sherlock Holmes tells something similar but this is the only way for him to say he prefers being alone for his work.

This scene might also mean if he meets someone interesting enough, why not?

Reason 3: Those men are gorgeous.

I understand this reason, I am a girl and I think Martin Freeman, Jude law, Robert Downey Junior and Benedict Cumberbatch are good-looking men. I understand when girls want those awesome men hanging out with themselves.

But, I am not a teenage girl anymore. I am almost 22. I know I won’t meet them personnally and I would love seeing them with someone.

Conclusion:

I think those reasons are pretty poor for hating a character so much. Conan Doyle chose this woman to reach Sherlock Holmes’ heart, make him wonder about women and the different producers and directors followed his point of view. We are just fans, watchers and readers, we have to respect, to follow the writter’s point of view

There are so many ones I can tell but those are among my favorites. Let’s say Irene is a wonderful character and her relation with Sherlock is very exciting.

BBC Sherlock

First One

Irene’s entrance in the show. She is naked and Sherlock is directly smitten by this sight. A normal guy is after all attracted to this kind of sight. I think it’s funny to see a man who claims to be married to his work falling for a woman in such a way.

Second One

When Irene comes back to life. She appears in such an amazing way to John Watson. She shows she is a powerful woman and she knows how to use her influence over people. Yet with John it doesn’t work because he isn’t impressed by her. And she accepts to send a text to Sherlock to ensure him she is alive. The music following this scene is awesome!

Third One

When Irene touches Sherlock’s hand in his own livingroom. She reaches his heart and she touches it. Moreover Sherlock is about to kiss her. She has indeed this power over him. Then the plane’s scene and the end of the episode.

Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes

First One

Irene is assaulted by thieves and she succeeds in making them beg for mercy. Besides she gets the flowers as a special price for her talent. Sherlock Holmes falls for her once again in this scene.

Second One

When Irene Adler tells she will help Sherlock Holmes in his current case. She tells illegal ways are her area of expertise. She is truly powerful and her name brings respect amongst criminals. Even Moriarty knows she is powerful.

Third One

The bridges scene. She reveals her human and weak self. She reveals her feelings for Sherlock too. This scene is pure love and epicness. I love it, it reminds me theaters’ scenes.

Conclusion

Irene is the best female character of Conan Doyle. ;)

Thanks to you I have just discovered Benedict Cumberbatch and Sherlock won last night at Critic’s Choice Television Award.

Yet I was very sad for Lara Pulver, she didn’t win anything. Yet as Dominic West well said being nominated is already wonderful. This is already a reward for your talent.

Let’s say Lara and Benedict are nominated several times thanks to their acting. Moreover they have this international fame thanks to their roles.

Besides Andrew Scott won too and it is deserved. Let’s wish him good luck for his next works.

I think Andrew left the show with a wonderful farewell. he gave the best of himself to say he won’t come back.

Martin Freeman is nominated too but I am still stunned noone wants to nonate Mark Gatiss for his awesome acting as Mycroft.

 I really love Sherlock Holmes, he is one of the best character ever created. He has lots of wonderful moments in books and directors and producers show his awesomeness. I will try to choose three moments in Ritchie’s movie and BBC Sherlock.

BBC Sherlock

Scene 1

I choose the moment when Sherlock and John meet for the very first time. John seems to be frightened by Sherlock yet he shouldn’t… Or not? I think it’s refreshing to see a Watson being doubtful about Sherlock’s personnality.

Scene 2

I pick the moment when Sherlock guesses Iren’s password for her phone. This is brilliant and it shows Sherlock’s cleverness. Moreover it’s confirmed they have strong feelings for each other.

Scene 3

Sherlock’ farewell to John. I haven’t seen a scene which is more heartbreaking since a long while. It’s a powerful scene and we can see Sherlock needs people’s help and love.

Ritchie’s Sherlock

Scene 1

When Sherlock speaks in French. Perhaps it’s due to the fact I am French but it’s good to see the creators respect Doyle’s skillfull character. And the fight scene of course.

Scene 2

The moment when Sherlock follows Irene on the bridge. I thought they wouldn’t see each other anymore yet they see each other once again. I ship this pairing and I truly feared for both Sherlock and Irene.

Scene 3

I think it’s when Sherlock shows he has understood Blackwood plan. I think it’s a very believable explanation though a bit advanced for the time. Yet this is a movie not real History.

Conclusion

We need more Sherlock’s moments like those…

Benedict is so like Sherlock: he is single, very clever and he loves his job. Benedict enjoyes very clever characters and Sherlock loves intelligent people. Benedict has the special ability to speak very quickly and tells lots of things in a short amount of time just like Sherlock. Apparently Benedict loves adventures because he likes acting different characters and Sherlock loves his job because it leads to awesome moments just like in The Hounds of Baskerville. 

Martin Freeman is so like John Watson. Both are very kind and outspoken persons. Both are married and they enjoy their family’s lives. Both make discovers things to Sherlock and benedict. Martin makes Benedict discover fandoms and Tumblr, John Watson makes Sherlock discover social life. Both enjoy social life and they  enjoy relations’ depth. 

Moreover, the pairs are so natural. John and Sherlock have an immediate friendship and Benedict and Martin have also one. They both have a sort of crush on each other and this is good. Both are true friends and you can see it everywhere: in acting and true life. In acting Benedict and Martin meet everywhere: Hobbit and Sherlock, Benedict had a sort of acting crush with martin when he saw him at first, John and Sherlock will have a lifetime friendship. 

Great, no?

I KNEW they would ad Sherlock Holmes and Benedict Cumberbatch in Olympic games opening. They HAVE to talk about the most famous detective of all times!!!  England can be proud of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Benedict Cumberbatch for their amazing talent! Moreover I knew Danny Boyle would praise Benedict Cumberbatch’ talent of course. Thanks a lot for this video. I am not from England and we couldn’t see it at all. Wtaching it is just pure awesomeness! :)
