What are they pointing at?

Wrong answers only

okay but here's the thing. we know jeremy would absolutely be on cloud 9 if he knew that the tumblr girlies are freaking out over his portrayal of holmes. but what about david? and edward? i wonder how they would respond to the immense love we have for their respective watsons...

the way Jeremy delivers the "no" is just. pure nonchalance. priceless.

Lord of the Rings Vintage TV Recast - Elrond

You're traveling through another dimension - a dimension in which director Peter Jackson is currently getting ready to direct one of his biggest film projects to date, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. He has decided to cast beloved actor, John Astin, of The Addams Family fame, as Gandalf the Grey.

Inspired by this singular casting decision, Peter Jackson and the film's producers have decided to cast The Lord of the Rings films entirely with other vintage television actors. They've entrusted the process of casting for the film to whom they believe will make the perfect decisions: the tumblr userbase.

Each actor will be taken from places in the prime of their television career (as pictured). A common practice in this strange alternate dimension.

You are now the new casting director for The Lord of The Rings. Who will you choose?

Audrey Hepburn, Jeremy Brett, and Lea Seidl on the set of War and Peace in 1955

I was watching Granada Golden Pince-nez with my lovely @i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end and @tyrannosaurusnacks yesterday night (they're going back home now sobsob) and i noticed one thing.

Seen that? Allow me to slow it down a bit!

HIS EARS MOVE WHEN HE SMILESSSS!

He's SUCH and elf, i love him so much, he's so endearing, i want to hug that man SO VERY TIGHT (my darlings can tell you the way i hug, i WILL try to break your ribs!)

Holmes waking people (watson) up at ungodly hours:

Wakes them up while he's already dressed and ready to go practically giggling and kicking his feet; won't take no for an answer; will linger at the foot of their bed and tickle their foot to force them awake.

Meanwhile Holmes when he gets woken up at an ungodly hour:

"GO AWAY"

You’re right and you should say it

Let us note that in that scene Mrs Hudson is waking him AT LEAST at 8AM.

So not EXACTLY an ungodly hour ahahah

When your friend has a passion for messing up his papers and you know you're the one who has to clean them up later.

(Bro is looking at us like it's our fault he's living with sherlock holmes)

I thought The Six Napoleons was a Sherlock Holmes story, not a Scooby-Doo episode...?

Lestrade has been waiting for Holmes for some time and is increasingly bored.

Holmes arrives, unnoticed.

Holmes and Watson retreat into the hall and approach the door again, coughing and shuffling their feet loudly, giving Lestrade time to stand and greet them with dignity.

"Lestraaaaade!"

(Tee hee.)

Later,

and

And then the episodes ends with Lestrade, with deep sincerity, telling Holmes, "We're not jealous of you at Scotland Yard. No, sir. We're proud of you."

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SCOOBY-DOO EPISODE JEREMY.

When you're overstimulated and want to go home but the game is STILL afoot.

just noticed that in The Empty House, Holmes missed Watson’s hand on the first try and he actually reached out the second time to catch him

i’m losing it

another proof that after years being alone, he now needs to be as close to the doctor as possible

Can I talk about how gorgeous Jeremy Brett’s nose is?

Granada Holmes: The Golden Pince Nez

"Now you can look at me."

This scene was so precious and important. Holmes using his scarf to cover up the blood stain because he noticed how miss Dalton, the maid, was distressed by it is him showing that he sees her as a person, not just a witness to get information out of. Its one of the many little treasures that this series gave us that highlighted the kindness and compassion of Holmes that makes it so special and why we love this silly detective man.
