The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: s2e2 ~ The Greek Interpreter

It took me all day to figure out how to make these gifs!

But I think I've got the method down, and that's about to become everyones problem 😈

I can't stop obsessing over the look on Sherlocks face as he watches John process everything.

More sets from this episode to come, let me know if you want to be tagged in future sets!

“Sherlock has all the energy of the family” absolutely LOVE this description. Sherlock being revealed as the energetic little brother bouncing off the walls while Mycroft watches in secondhand exhaustion is PINNACLE. Also it’s very clear that despite sharing the “art in the blood” autism that Sherlock got all of the ADHD.

Two Holmes? In this London? It's more likely than you think.

(Lestrade isn't thrilled)

I just noticed something about some of the actors in Granada Holmes.

A few of the actors (I've only noticed two so far) starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).

Charles Gray, who plays Mycroft Holmes (and was first introduced in the The Greek Interpreter episode of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes), also played The Criminologist in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

While watching the The Norwood Builder episode of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I noticed that Jonathan Adams portrays Jonah Oldacre. Jonathan Adams plays the role of Dr. Everett Scott in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Everyone in the tag is reacting to all of Watson's descriptions of fat people as negative, and I just don't read them that way. Yes, he makes a point of saying certain people are fat. He also makes a point of saying that this woman is beautiful, that man is small, whatever. He's painting word pictures of people. Yes, he compared Mycroft's hand to a flipper. It's a vivid image. What has flippers? Seals, which are cute; whales which are vast and intelligent, porpoises which are lively and friendly. The animal comparisons he makes that have demonstrable negative connotations are skinny - rats and ferrets (I think he's described Lestrade's face in terms of both animals, but I could be wrong.) He compares Holmes to a dog fairly often. He likes dogs.

The thing is, we are so steeped in fatphobia today that we think the adjective is a pejorative unless explicitly denied in the text, and that's...a fairly recent development. I'm in my 60s; I remember when the stereotype of fat people was "jolly." When "Tubby" was a friendly nickname neither intended nor taken as an insult. My reading of Victorian literature introduced me to dozens of positive, morally neutral, and genial associations with fatness, which represents prosperity, good humor, sometimes silliness but often kindness and generosity, particularly in men. Mr. Pickwick is fat. Santa Claus is fat. Mycroft Holmes is fat and his skinny little brother loves and admires him. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was no sylph and neither is Watson. "Fat Men's Clubs" existed in Holmes's day, celebrations of men who had abundance in their lives and enjoyed their meals.

I am not repulsed by the fatness of Mycroft or any of the fat clients; and I don't think Watson is, either. He is not responsible for the prejudices modern readers project onto him.
