Ben Mendelsohn & Mads Mikkelsen - Together We Are The Death Star

Ben Mendelsohn & Mads Mikkelsen - together we are the death star

It’s not a ‘gang’ show, it’s the Sherlock and John show. It’s about developing their characters and their relationship, and the characters drawn into their orbit.

do you think the bbc sherlock cast/team has their own whatsapp work group like

I've stared at that first gif for like an hour now, and it is genuinely scary. They're not trying to hide that something is wrong here, and yet no one but us is questioning it. I really don't understand why. I am constantly astounded by the casual viewers' acceptance of everything at face value. It's been said a thousand times, but I'm saying it again. It isn't true simply because Moftiss says it is! Allow me to paraphrase, "The Abominable Bride is a stand alone episode, completely separate from anything happening in the major plotline." Remember that? Remember how much they insisted on it? How'd that work out again? "Mary" literally killed Sherlock, and no one is worried about this creepy look? This awkward dialogue? This over the top acting? The legitimate fear in John's voice as he sees his psychopathic wife casually carrying his infant daughter into what could definitely turn into a very dangerous situation? This is not a happy family excited to hang out with Uncle Sherlock. WTF is wrong with people? Seriously. What's happening here isn't cute or funny or normal. It's heartbreaking, and you don't even see it.

I’m sorry (not sorry) but Mary’s facial expressions in this little clip freaked me out

She’s hardly even pretending anymore. I can see the assassin clearly, she’s hardly holding up the act, she doesn’t care anymore. That first gif is like ‘come on now, Sherlock, say what you’re supposed to say.’ There’s NO reason for her face to change like that. When she was first introduced, she beamed whenever she smiled. Now, she does…that. The ‘I’m taking something away from you and I’m happy about it’ smile. The ‘I’m planning and I’m always 5 steps ahead of you, you should be terrified’ smile. Whatever that is.

And the way she patronizes John, it’s like she’s talking to the freaking baby.
