    What I love about this scene is that even though it's designed to make it look like Mycroft is Moriarty, it still completely functions when you think of him as Mycroft. Just like Sherlock, he accurately deduces Watson's PTSD symptoms and also like Sherlock he does it extremely quickly. And of course Mycroft would offer someone money to spy on Sherlock, because as we see later on in the show, that's just the weird kind of relationship they have

Not to mention that Mycroft would have played as Sherlock's enemy whenever they played pirates when they were young. So yes, Mycroft is clever. No wonder why he's my favorite character lol

      I think the idea that Mycroft would have bumped John off if he took the money is slightly wide of the mark. This was a test of John's character and he did pass. But the Spymaster in Mycroft would have happily spent Government money as extra motivation to continue to be Sherlock's counterpart. Never forget Sherlock's amused disappointment that John had not taken the money from him. One of the comments puts it perfectly by saying the two brothers just had a really weird relationship. The chance to benefit from what he saw as Mycroft's pointless financial profligacy appealled to Sherlock.

    Weird how when Mycroft uses his powers of deduction on John, he shows discomfort...it's as if he feels like his privacy is being invaded. It feels dirty.
    When Sherlock does the same, however, he feels a sense of fascination. Awe.
    Even before he knew either of them.
    The irony in this is that the way Mycroft makes him feel is the way Sherlock usually makes people feel.
    That instant bond, respect and admiration was there from the start.

    I think the reason why Mycroft offered to pay John to spy on Sherlock is b/c he was testing John to see if Sherlock could trust John. If Mycroft really wanted to monitor Sherlock, he could've done so in a 100 different ways. He didn't really need John for that.

    • @forcesmuggler7667

      Right! And Mycroft confirms this himself at the end of the episode when he asks his assistant to “upgrade the surveillance in both Sherlock and Watson”. He already has means to know what Sherlock is up to, so he was definitely testing John here.

      You know something else? I recently went on a binge of the show because I hadn't watched some of the scenes in so long. I can see just how similar Mycroft and Sherlock really are. Seriously, they're not that different. Their personalities and behavior par with each other a lot. They deal with their emotions quite differently, but other than that, yeah. They really are very similar.

    This scene was done with so much subtlety. The upper hand passes from one to another. John is able to hold his own until Mycroft reveals that he's read John's therapist's notes. Great acting on both their parts. It was my 2nd favorite part of Series 1.1. My first was at the end when Mycroft says "Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson". I was so delighted the first time I saw it.

    "A... difficult relationship"
    I'm actually reading the Young Sherlock book series right now, and it's very bittersweet to see that Sherlock and Mycroft actually start out with a more openly loving relationship, because you know they're going to fall out in the end. However, in the Conan Doyle short stories where I have seen Mycroft, their relationship never really came off as "difficult" to me, somehow. The two of them seemed to be rather at ease with each other, and the worst I could make of their relationship was that they both disapproved of what the other did, but nothing worse than that. You know?

    People keep talking about how great Mycroft's acting is, and it is, but the more important thing to observe is this explains why Watson is crazy enough to keep hanging around with Sherlock. The original book Watson & Holmes weren't as wild as these two, so slight reasonable evolutions to their characters had to be made. Making Watson an adrenaline junkie of sorts is perfect.

  • @Karathos
    @Karathos 2 года назад +5

    Actually quite neatly encapsulates the problem with a lot of soldiers returning back "to the world". It's not that they are haunted and terrified by what they've done or seen, it's that they've grown used to it and can't (or don't want to) live a banal, normal "safe" life. Terrific scene.

    How I wish they had stuck with this format--mystery, drama, and true tension between characters. The dialogue was sharp and witty and every character served a purpose. Seasons 3 and 4 devolved into cartoonish dribble as they kept trying to make villains that were bigger and scarier than Moriarty, and trying to make Mary a far more significant character than she really was. Both attempts were catastrophic failures. I prefer to keep my rewatching habits limited to seasons 1 and 2.
