[Sherlock] Season 2 Episode 1 A Scandal in Belgravia (Part One)-- "The Woman"

Um, I can tell you that her career is called "dominatrix"...... Google the term yourself ="=

Last episode we stopped at the point where Sherlock and John's lives were threatened, let's see how the story went!!!~~

"I'll make you into shoes..." What kind of threaten was that?!
First, Jim's ringtone was a song called "Stay Alive", totally sarcastic...
Second, so Moriaty just simply went out the door??? I can't believe it!!! Who's this "somebody" that changed his mind?!

The princess had met a woman called Ms. Adler for a special service...

Anyway, Sherlock and John were back to their daily life, however, Sherlock seemed dispirited without an insane criminal who had a crush on him. 

"Leave." "Boring." Sherlock rejected almost every case, even mocked his clients. Indeed, compare to a crazy game in which innocent people died, these cases were nothing. Though, notice the third man who declared that his aunt being replaced, this ridiculous case actually implied an important truth afterwards.

OHO Sherlock, why did you have to do this to these lovely little girls... BTW, this case also indicated that important fact afterwards.

Lestrade had again asked Sherlock for help, this case was about a dead man who had died in a plane crash a day before found in the trunk of a car. However, Sherlock had got totally baffled this time. NOTICE again, this case is also important...

  

Poor John had to bring around the computer
to show Sherlock the crime scene

Er...Sherlock just got up from bed wearing nothing but
a sheet... It seemed Sherlock tended to sleep NAKEDLY?!

Life had become more and more boring (without a lunatic criminal), Sherlock even couldn't manage to move his legs to the crime scene, he just sent John there and asked him to use something like Skype to make contact.

Two strangers broke in Sherlock and John's flat halfway through the investigation, forcing Sherlock to go with them (and get dressed ="=). At the same time, John was also asked to get on a helicopter which just appeared in front of him.

John was shocked when he suddenly realized where he was "invited" to-- the Buckingham Palace!!!! Though he would soon find out that his brilliant roommate just did something even shocking...

John: "You wearing any pants?"
Sherlock: "No."
John: "OK."
When you live with Sherlock, you would think wearing a sheet in the Buckingham Palace is surely nothing weird. 

Let's watch Sherlock doing more weird things in the palace from the video hahahaha~~~ XDDD

There MUST be something wrong with the Holmes brothers!!!! It seemed Mycroft was as childish as his little brother... And that "I'll just walk away." OAO Please don't tell me Sherlock would really walk away if Mycroft didn't let go...

  
What? Dominatrix? Though I think Irene was undeniably sexy!!!

By the way, Sherlock just STOLE an ashtray from the PALACE... Seriously, how did he get this terrible habit?!!!!

 Next, the craziest part of this episode!!! Including naked woman, blood-thirsty FBI dudes and Sherlock being beaten...LITERALLY.

First, I have to explain the idea that Sherlock pretended to be a priest being attacked was from the original story. Though in the novel, Watson described Holmes that he thoroughly changed himself into the role which he was playing, however, Sherlock simply changed...nothing (even his clothes).

(John: I've waited so long for this day to punch you!!!!!!!)

I have to say, I was more shocked to see her naked than seeing a head in a fridge... That's was quite a bold thing to do (both the actress and the director. = =) 

This episode was certainly full of shocking scenes... In the original story, Irene Adler was the woman who beat (defeated) Holmes, in the TV series, they let Sherlock literally be beaten by a WHIP. In fact, they didn't fake this scene at all, the actor who played Sherlock was actually slapped...OAO

After Sherlock's tragic meeting with Irene, Mycroft told his brother that the woman was no longer his business, since Sherlock not only failed to retrieve the photographs, but also utterly defeated and embarrassed.

Sherlock played "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
I think it was the first time that Sherlock played something normal...

Time moved on to Christmas Eve, everyone gathered at 221B Baker Street, including Lestrade, Molly and John's new girlfriend. (Uh...) Everything went as usual at first, Sherlock talked irritatingly, the others chatted happily. Then Sherlock found out one of the gifts was sent by "the woman"-- Irene Adler, he started to seem uneasy.

Inside the gift box was the phone which everyone fought over, this was indeed very odd, remember how Irene protected it like her own life. Then Sherlock made a phone call to Mycroft, told him he would find Irene that night. Why did Sherlock say that? What did it mean?

"You're going to find her DEAD."
That, was when everything really started to go wrong...
