I loved how she showed that quiet strength it took for Molly to demand that Sherlock said it first. My heart was breaking for Molly as she struggled with telling this impossible, insensitive, brilliant man how she felt. Louise Brealey, though, gave him a run for his money. The gamut of emotions that ran across his face was nothing short of astounding. However, I have to say how incredible he was in this scene. I haven't talked much about Benedict Cumberbatch's performance this season, because, well, he's Benedict Cumberbatch and it's a given that he's amazing. Sherlock: Well if it's true then say it anyway. That second time, though, he clearly meant it. Even when he said it the first time, I'm not even sure he knew it was true for him. I'm not sure if Sherlock realized just how hard it is to say "I love you" when it's true - until he had to say it. There was the pain he felt when he knew he was going to hurt Molly. There was the sheer terror on his face when he thought Molly could get killed. This was difficult for Sherlock in all manner of ways. Sadly, for naught.Įuros' third experiment, however, was the one that broke Sherlock, forcing him to confront both Molly's emotions and whatever it is he feels for her. This one further pushed Sherlock to the edge, forcing him to condemn one person to save another two. John, on the other hand, embraced the soldier in him, putting his emotions aside for the good of everyone around him. Again, the cold and clinical Mycroft was the most emotionally affected, hesitant to compete with John and satisfy Euros' whimsy. He is admittedly one of the most powerful men in England, but even he refuses to wield the power over life and death.Įxperiment two had Euros getting the three of them to work together, almost pitting Mycroft and John against each other. That said, it was interesting that Mycroft refused to even touch the gun. I'm not sure if Sherlock chose Mycroft because he thought Mycroft would do it, or because he wanted to protect John from having to do it. While we've always known that Mycroft has a soft spot for Sherlock, he's seemed mostly clinical and cold in his assessment an execution of most things. The first "experiment," where Sherlock was forced to choose which of his companions would shoot the governor, was most telling about Mycroft. So her experiments at Sherrinford were the most revealing, but also the most harrowing. She was smarter than both Sherlock and Mycroft, but without the emotional understanding that allowed her to have any ethics or moral compass. That was his way of figuring out what was going on in Sherlock's brain.Įuros, the Holmes sister, was a complicated soul. Mycroft, no different, revealed that he used the "east wind" tale, not as a method to terrorize his little brother, but as a way to determine whether or not his traumatic memories of Euros were returning. : you wouldn't actually tell the truth unless you were actually wetting yourself.John: Yes, well, someone convinced him that you wouldn't actually tell the truth unless you were actually wetting yourself. Mycroft: Doctor Watson, why would he do that to me, that was insane!
