But this “game” is different in that it’s video, and the total amount of edits are unknown (to me, anyway). So there is that challenge.<\/p>\n
This is my second go (or fourth, if you count episodes rather than seasons). \u00a0Go here for A Study in Pink<\/a> (includes screenshots), The Blind Banker<\/a>, and The Great Game<\/a><\/p>\n I will say though that this is done for fun<\/strong><\/em>. I’m not ranting away at PBS who,I later learned from Steven Moffat<\/a> himself, did not make the cuts:<\/p>\n \n \u00a0Though I do wish they would have played it “as is”. \u00a0But yes, the DVD and Netflix will have the full version, just like the first season. (YAY!)<\/p>\n (Note – I have done a basic clean up of my notes so there are bound to be a few mispellings. I only have included a small number of the screenshots, the rest of those will be added later. \u00a0And I’ll add more of \u00a0my\u00a0opinions\u00a0on the importance of the cut\u00a0scenes\u00a0later.)<\/p>\n And awaaaayy we go:<\/p>\n Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/strong><\/p>\n The opening credits. This wasn’t a change but a pleasant surprise that the PBS version kept the same opening credits, unlike the first season<\/a>.<\/p>\n Blog Envy<\/strong><\/p>\n Right after Sherlock questions about John blogging “The Geek Intrepter” (haha! Pun on The Greek Intrepreter”), it cuts to John and Sherlock examining a dead woman on a slab in the morgue:<\/p>\n (Note to self: Must make above image wallpaper for laptop….. Done!<\/em>)<\/p>\n Sherlock: Do you think people actually read your blog?<\/p>\n John: Where do you think our clients come from?<\/p>\n Sherlock: I have a website.<\/p>\n John: \u00a0In which you write about 240 different types of tobacco ash. \u00a0Nobody’s reading your website.<\/p>\n Sherlock gives John \u00a0a cold hard stare. \u00a0Both rise from bending over the body, John still looking at the woman, Sherlock still giving John a mean look.<\/p>\n John: Right then. Died. Blonde hair. \u00a0No obvious cause of death, except for these speckles, whatever they are.<\/p>\n In the middle of John’s observation, Sherlock turns, still iriitated, walks out of the room, followed by Lestrade.<\/p>\n Importance – We begin to see the popularity of John’s blog growing, just as in the canon Watson’s stories also became more popular.<\/p>\n More blogging at Baker Street<\/strong><\/p>\n John is sitting at his laptop typing away again in his blog. \u00a0Sherlock comes around from the kitchen, paper in one hand, food in another. \u00a0He looks over to John, walks over to read what John’s writing<\/p>\n Sherlock: Oh, for Godsakes. \u00a0The Speckled Blonde?<\/p>\n Then walks away. \u00a0John stops typing and looks up.<\/p>\n Cut to scene of the two little girls in Baker Street telling Sherlock and John about their grandfather.<\/p>\n Importance – Somwwhat. \u00a0Shows the buildup of Sherlock’s irritation of John’s writing. \u00a0Which is very similar to how Holmes felt about Watson publishing about their cases.<\/p>\n Even more blogging in Baker Street<\/strong><\/p>\n Sherlock confronts John about writing about the unsolved cases.<\/p>\n John “This blog has had almost 2000 hits within the last 8 hours. \u00a0This is your living Sherlock! \u00a0(cut) Not 240 types of tobacco ash.<\/p>\n Sherlock: 243 (puts his saftey glasses on and flares up his handheld flamer (for lack of a better word).<\/p>\n I think it’s time, don’t you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Merging from the scene of Irene Adler calling someone on her phone to the (nice!) crane shot of the exterior of 221B. \u00a0Just a couple seconds, barely noticeable.<\/p>\n Also a cut of Mr.s Hudson cleaning up the flat by taking a mug and a jug of milk (eww!) off the mantel.<\/p>\n \u00a0Boys, you got another one!<\/strong><\/p>\n After man comes in and then faints, Mrs. Hudsonshouts out to the boys and then sympathitically bends over and looks down at the man and lets out a “ohh”<\/p>\n Helicopter for John<\/strong><\/p>\n After Sherlock’s leptop is closed, John is told that a helicopter was landing for him. \u00a0The below shot is cut.<\/p>\n Another nitpick<\/strong><\/p>\n The gentleman walking in and placing down Sherlock’s clothes in front of him is cut as well.<\/p>\n Later, at Buckingham Palace…<\/strong><\/p>\n After John joins Sherlock \u00a0on the couch. John notices Sherlock is not wearing any pants, they laugh, he then looks around<\/p>\n John: Buckingham Palace. \u00a0(cut) I’m seriously fighting an impulse to steal an ashtray. (cut ends)<\/p>\n They both giggle more.<\/p>\n The Woman<\/strong><\/p>\n Mycroft introduces the case to Sherlock and shows him pictures of Irane Adler<\/p>\n Mycroft: There are many names for what she does. \u00a0She prefers dominatrix.<\/p>\n (cut) Sherlock (still looking at the photos): Dominatrix…<\/p>\n Mycroft: Don’t be alarmed. It has to do with sex.<\/p>\n Sherlock (sharply looking up at Mycroft): Sex doesn’t alarm me.<\/p>\n Mycroft (smugly smiles): How would you know?(cut ends)<\/p>\n A couple minutes later…<\/strong><\/p>\n Sherlock: Where is she?<\/p>\n Mycroft: In London, currently. \u00a0She’s staying…<\/p>\n Sherlock: Text me the details. I’ll be in touch by the end of the day.<\/p>\n (cut) Harry: Do you really think\u00a0you’ll\u00a0have news by then?<\/p>\n Sherlock: No, I think I’ll have the photographs<\/p>\n Harry: One can only hope you’re as good as you seem to think.<\/p>\n Sherlock then looks at him and makes the following deductions about Harry —<\/p>\n Sherlock: I’ll need some equipment of course.<\/p>\n Mycroft: Anything you require, I’ll have it sent…<\/p>\n Sherlock (interrupting): Can I have a box of matches?<\/p>\n Harry: I’m sorry?<\/p>\n Sherlock: Ot your cigerrette lighter,either would do (holds out his hand towards Harry)<\/p>\n Harry: I don’t smoke.<\/p>\n Sherlock: No, I know you don’t but your employer does<\/p>\n John (looks confused, then looks down)<\/p>\n Harry (reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter): We have kept a lot of people successful in the dark about this little fact, Mr Holmes.<\/p>\n Sherlock: I’m not the commonwealth (turns to leave)<\/p>\n John: And that’s as modest as he gets. \u00a0Pleasure to meet you (turns and follows Sherlock (cut ends)<\/p>\n Sherlock: La’ers<\/p>\n Both leave the room<\/p>\n Later in the cab<\/strong><\/p>\n (cut)<\/p>\n John: Okay, the smoking. \u00a0How did you know?<\/p>\n Sherlock: The evidence was right under your nose John. As ever, you see but do not osberve.<\/p>\n John: Observe what?<\/p>\n Sherlock (reaching into his coat and pulls out…) An ashtray (flips it in the air)<\/p>\n Both of them laugh<\/p>\n Pictures are shown being taken by someone of both men in the cab (cut ends) and then a shot of Irene holding her phone, looking at them.<\/p>\n Breakfast at Baker Street<\/strong><\/p>\n Sherlock, John are sitting at the table. \u00a0Sherlock reading the paper, John eating. \u00a0Mycroft is facing them, standing in front of the fireplace.<\/p>\n Mycroft: \u00a0How can we do anything while she has the photographs. \u00a0Our hands are tied.<\/p>\n Sherlock: She’d applaud your choice of words. \u00a0(cut begins) Do you see how this works? \u00a0That camera phone is her ‘get out of jail free’ \u00a0card. \u00a0HAve to leave her alone. \u00a0Treat her like royalty Mycroft.<\/p>\n John: \u00a0Though not how she treats royalty (cut ends)<\/p>\n Holmes’ phone makes a ring, the sound of a woman’s gasp<\/p>\n A Christmas evening with the gang<\/strong><\/p>\n A couple seconds of Sherlock playing the violin from the beginning of the crossing over from the last scene to the Chrstimas scene.<\/p>\n Calling Mycroft<\/strong><\/p>\n After Sherlock hangs up with Mycroft and John comes in to check in on him<\/p>\n John: You ok?<\/p>\n Sherlock: Yes (and closes the door. (cut) (He stares out while walking back to his bad)<\/p>\n Shot to Mycroft, still holding his phone, staring out of the window as the snow falls. Then turns and walks away. A couple seconds cut from Sherlock and Mycroft walking down the hall to the morgue.<\/p>\n Later when Sherlock and Mycroft walk out, there’s a second of Molly (poor Molly!) cut. The nice camera shot of the back of Sherlock’s head through the morgue’s window is shortened.<\/p>\n After Sherlock and Mycroft wish each other Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year, Mycroft stays inthe hallway and calls John who is still at 221B.<\/p>\n Mycroft: He’s on his way. Have you found anything?<\/p>\n John: No. Did he take the cigerrette?<\/p>\n Mycroft: Yes.<\/p>\n John: (with a sigh) Shit (turns around to Mrs. Hudson) He’s coming. Ten minutes.<\/p>\n Mrs. Hudson: There’s nothing in the bedroom.<\/p>\n John (back on the phone) No, it looks like he’s clean. We’ve tried all the usual places. Are you sure tonight’s the danger night?<\/p>\n Mycroft: No. But I never am. You have to stay with him John.<\/p>\n John: Uh, I’ve got plans.<\/p>\n Mycroft: Nooo. (and hangs up)<\/p>\n (back to 221B) John: Mycroft…Mm (hangs up his end and turns toward his girlfriend who is sitting on the sofa. He joins her) I’m really sorry.<\/p>\n Jeanette: You know, my friends are so wrong about you.<\/p>\n![\"The-real-editors\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calverosdepot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/The-real-editors.jpg?resize=553%2C372\")
