    Summary

    This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.

     

    All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

    Summary

    A serial killer is loose in Victorian London. So it's up to Sherlock Holmes to solve it. But can he solve it before the culprit can strike again? And who is this stranger, who claims to be from another time, and why do they seem insistent on helping?

    This is a story I made with the question of 'what if someone from the 21st century went into the world of Sherlock Holmes?' and here it is. Enjoy <3

    Summary

    Old wounds are reopened in the aftermath of Holmes' nearly disastrous experiment with the devil's foot root.

    “Thank you for your concern, Doctor, it is most admirable—but unnecessary, I assure you.” I thought of my little vials, which now lay shattered in the sand of the tempestuous Cornish coast and met his gaze defiantly, if a bit unsteadily. Watson let out a bitter, humorless laugh and threw his book down with a thump.

      Bookmark Notes:

      “Danger?” Watson cried disbelievingly, launching himself out of his chair. “When has the danger posed to yourself ever deterred you from your precious seven percent solution!?” As he spoke another tremor racked through me, and the fury painted on his face dragged me down under the waves which seemed to surge and crash all around me. I fell into my chair, weakened.

      “Watson,” I pleaded softly, but he was lost in his anger and continued, shouting now, releasing a stream of words which seemed to have been festering inside him for quite a long time.

      “You inject yourself with that foul, that wretched—that damned cocaine, Holmes, and you languish, you waste away, and I—do you have any idea what it is to watch you willingly poison yourself? I have left you, God help me, to face your death once before, Holmes—and I will not do it again!”

      It seemed to my feverish mind that he had just cut out his own heart and thrown it at my feet. I tried to explain, tried to tell him what I had done, but my lips were stone and my head felt heavy and full, my fevered body shook against the pulsing agony that became my only conscious thought, and I reached out for him, for my Watson, unable to do anything else. He seemed to realize, finally, that something was wrong and approached me, kneeling before my chair and peering intently into my face.

    Holmes and Watson become accustomed to a rather informal state of dress and a development in their relationship. However, an unexpected visitor occasionally intrudes on their domestic contentment.

    Eventually, Lestrade took his leave. Holmes opened the bedroom door when the coast was clear and I looked up at him in mortification.
    “I think he knew I was here.”

    Summary

    “Sentimental fool,” he said, gazing at the roses. They seemed to smile back at him; a tangible reminder of Watson’s warm regard. As Mrs Hudson cleared the table of the remnants of dinner she glanced from the flowers to Holmes, a knowing smirk on her face. Holmes pretended not to notice as he lit his pipe.

    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes won't put John Watson in harm's way, no matter how much they love each other. In fact, he'll do anything to keep him safe--including dying and coming back to life again. But Watson doesn't want safety: he wants Holmes.
     
    “So,” he said slowly. “What is it you expect, then? Shall we sit across the breakfast table and gaze longingly at each other over the butter dish, silently breaking into pieces? Shall we retire to our separate bedrooms each night, and listen to each other breathing through the wall?”

    “Yes,” I answered, for when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
