The scariest job interview ever.
This comment has an insane quantity of likes and no replies. I'm glad I'll be the first one.
One that you didn't even apply for loll

Just checking to see if jhon is the right guy for his little brother
@@andCo_ the o comes before the h.
"You're not haunted by the war, Dr Watson. You miss it" - love Mark Gatiss' delivery of that line. He's brilliant.
"Welcome back"
That gave me chills
That line gives me the chills it's amazing
I thought he was Steven moffat
It is bloody well researched too.
A lot of people who did tours over seas miss the war and turn mental because of it.
@@annekedebruyn7797 It affects soldiers in different ways. For some, it makes them adrenaline junkies. For others, it adjusts their views on the world so it is the battlefield that feels normal and peacetime feel unnatural.
"I worry about him.. constantly" This breaks my heart, he truly loves his brother
@@androidashu That was literally part of a plan made by Sherlock and Mycroft.
While Mycroft above all , cares for his brethren. Who Mycroft works for, prospers exponentially further with Sherlock & Watson's prowess.
😉🕪🐿
@@androidashu How about you watch a bit further.
@@androidashu Yeah You wouldn't you have had that plan since you don't have Sherlock's and Mycroft's combined intelligence to beat Moriarty.
@@androidashu it was fake, as I can recall.
Mycroft's umbrella is my favorite character.
KatieKat I love my umbrella
Its also a sword
My is Mycroft.😁😘😍😍
I remember thinking at one time that that umbrella was Moriarty.
It’s also a sword and a gun
Ah this scene.. This scene tricked me thinking that Mycroft was Moriarty lol
At least half of us, brother mine.
I think Mark Gatiss would have made a fantastic Moriarty
nah.....i kind of figured that it would be him...too simple plus mycroft has always been One of my fav sherlock characters c:
Raven Bird
well, going from the original novels, both charackters are rather unlikely, seeing how mycroft is a fat plotdevice and moriarty mostly non existant. I guess our expectations where based on what remake we like best.
correction: used to like best because this is my favorite now.
That moment when you realize mycroft usually has his umbrella is because it's a gun
It's a sword
9ssgoku both
you can pull the blade out and it's a gun
9ssgoku that means you stabbed and killed her then pulled a sword blade out if it. 😃
Pastel It was a sexual metaphor but k
Hey, remember that time when we all thought Mycroft was Moriarty?
Hey, remember that time when we all thought John was Moriarty?
Hey, remember that time when it turned out that Moriarty was Molly's gay boyfriend?
Shally D I'm not sure what your point is, but thank you for pointing that out. None of the fandom was aware.
At no point did I think John was Moriarty.
Chilliard2000 I watched the first episode before the first episode like not Season1Episode1 but Season1Episode0 if you know what I mean, so it changed the way I watched Sherlock😁
For about 20 seconds when he meets sherlock at the swimming pool. Then we find out he has a bomb strapped to him.
Chilliard2000 yeah, I can remember and I can't stop laughing
I love how this scene was Mycroft confronting John and trying to find out if John is a capable friend for Sherlock. Seriously Mycroft just come out and say that you're worried about your brother. God this is the most dramatic 'if you hurt him I'll hurt you' threat ever XD
he does say that he's worried about him; it's the first line of the video 😛
Natalie Leon The most awkward Shovel Talk ever...
dramatic but effective
I think the point was to make you think it was Jim Moriarty. He is just referred to as M at this point, so we have no idea who he could be. Unless you're familiar with the books and then it is a bit more obvious.
The most dramatic, and the most hot.
Sherlock is John's war and John's Sherlock's drug.
Well said :)
vou imprimir e colar na testa
Sherlock suck john and John fight Sherlock
Droog.
I thought that said "hug" and am now disappointed.
This is exactly how Mycroft should be.
Equally shrewd, clever and calculating as his younger brother. If not more.
In the stories he is way smarter than Sherlock, just lazy, which irks Sherlock.
@@EvonneLindiwe tbh I think that is a trait with a lot of intelligent people because they view everything as easy so they become complacent and lazy
@@EvonneLindiwe not lazy, he isn’t thrill seeking like sherlock, the book’s literally wrote him as probably the most important person in parliament
@@meow-meow-beans he has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions, and would rather be considered wrong than take the trouble to prove himself right. Again and again I have taken a problem to him, and have received an explanation which has afterwards proved to be the correct one. And yet he was absolutely incapable of working out the practical points..."
―Sherlock Holmes, speaking to Watson about his brother in "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter"
@@meow-meow-beans sounds like lazy even if he does have sharper deductive powers compared to Sherlock. In the books he is also described as indolent.
2:10 "You're not haunted by the war, Dr. Watson. You miss it. *whisper* Welcome back."
God, I love this.
narrengold creepy as hell. Love this scene
That's actually something Sebastian Junger mentions in a talk he gave. Many who are veterans of war miss war and miss the brotherhood of fellow soldiers and the way of life they were classically conditioned into living. Many don't fit back into peaceful domestic life.
@@switzerlandful What they miss is the stress 24/7; stress is addictive, and when it's removed the brain goes wonky, it needs it's stress fix.
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
I know this response is late and all but anyway: I think it actually was a test to see if John was not dangerous and would stay loyal to Sherlock. ( and John clearly passed )
Also, Mycroft does care about Sherlock, more than constantly, and they do have ridiculous sibling rivalry, so the term Mycroft used as "archenemy" works quite well. 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
Random Microwaved Pasta Box thats what i thought too
He didn't deduce Sherlock's symptoms though, he was probably informed about them by his therapist. Hence him consulting his notebook.
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.
I love mycroft , he complements the series very well and character is so eloquently played by Gatiss
Fazleena Aziz thank you
Complement*
gatissssss
I forgot how much I miss Sherlock
Not long to go now... I swear if Mycroft or John gets hurt I'll seppuku myself or something. Will be intense.
Stannis The Mannis we survived another season xx
I haven't even seen the last seasons.
Because I don't want to ruin this
Mr Yuvraj they do not, they’re worth it I swear!!! Sherlock with all of its seasons are fucking awesome, you wouldn’t want to miss anything!!
The last episode of the last season is intense but it really is the best of all of them.
And flippity, flippity, flip went the umbrella.
That umbrella's happier than any of them right now.
HELP IM DYING
This is the comment I need
Loved Mycroft in this scene. He exudes such power, such brass.
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.
Amazing writing.
It's the difference between appearance of those two more than anything. An odd looking fellow in a lab telling about you by looking at your face vs a person who has undeniable power and influence letting you know they know everything about you.
@@Commander_Shepard. exactly!
If Sherlock had been holding John's therapist's notes about him, and/or basically kidnapped him for their first meeting they likely wouldn't have become friends
But Mycroft had sensitive info and looked like he was in a shady organization... Sherlock only acted smart...
the crazy thing is: we've seen Mycroft can do that crazy creepy deduction thing that Sherlock can, which means he had John completely analyzed within seconds of meeting him. and i do think he liked what he saw. someone worthy of watching over his brother
Absolutely.
In the books it is implied Mycroft is actually better at deduction then Sherlock. But he is lazy and hates field work.
Well, he's lazy and better than Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock deduced about John's PTSD and intermittent tremor. But Mycroft deduces exactly how it is. That too with less than the time Sherlock took.
You also realize that Mycroft has secured Watsons therapists notes and studied them prior to this meeting
Rewatching this after "His Last Vow" is a must. Mycroft practically told John from the very beginning that he was addicted to dangerous lifestyles and people, and yet he couldn't believe that Mary was cut from the same cloth as Sherlock.
I think John was more hurt about the fact that Mary had lied to him and shot at his friend, rather than the fact that she had a past as an assassin. I doubt her past would have stood in their way had she been forthright about it from the start.
ASB Trust issues...
But she wasn't supposed to be like that.
So since he's attracted to dangerous people and situations and SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT.
I'll leave it to your deductions.
John is in serious denial for most of the time.
PizzaSchraubin omg then he wasn’t supposed to attract Mary like from beginning/ or he wanted chose person without danger this time
Two meanings as always 🙃
I remember me being a smart ass and confidently telling me friend this is Moriarty...
same... 🤦
It was a trap, and you fell into it.
Haha, same situation, pal.) I had already read the most of the A.C. Doyle books before watching the BBC series, and when I watched s1e1 for the first time with my sister and we saw this scene, she asked me who it was. I also thought this was Moriarty. When in the end that guy revealed to be Mycroft, I was all like: “Damn, sis, I’ve mistaken a little!” Lol
This is one of my favourite Mycroft moments
Minecraft*
+Ali Zeeny Mycrosoft*
mike
my favorite is when he tells mrs hudson to shut up, very funny
Laura González excuse me?
Mycroft was my favorite character from this show. Gatiss was absolutely flawless in his role. Great series!
And what a snobbish accent. Priceless.
1:23 That's the look you give to an immature, angry child.
Remember when we thought Mycroft was Moriarty? Good times.
Yeah... Those good 30 minutes of not knowing Mycroft was Mycroft....
I didn't he was just forgetabble to me Moriarty kept me engaged
@@stephensingh4588 This was before Moriarty was officially introduced.
@@Commander_Shepard. ik.
I feel like mycroft’s actor does an amazing job of showing character just by standing and walking a few steps, mainly the way how he has an air of authority
Mycroft Holmes...my favourite character in Sherlock ; )
Sky thank you
sky thank you
Making Mycroft fit was a stroke of genius. It also made sure no one who was well versed in the books would guess this was Mycroft.
I think this is just a test for Watson if he can be trusted, since Mycroft is with the British government he can dispose of Watson if he agrees to spy on Sherlock 😅
Yes, especially given that Mycroft expresses a distaste of spies in "A Scandal in Belgravia". He was probably testing whether Sherlock's new friend and flatmate can be trusted or whether, as you say, he needed to be quietly disposed of.
ASB yep 😅
Mycroft is awesome. He's been protecting Sherlock for ages. He wants to find out and deduce is John a suitable friend for Sherlock or not. He doesn't want someone who won't understand Sherlock to get close to his brother. Mycroft knows Sherlock to the core. He knows that it can be difficult for people to like Sherlock.
Mycroft is the British government
It's actually pretty funny how Sherlock says that Watson should've taken the money, since he already deduced that the one offering said money was his own brother. He could've played Mycroft hard with it.
That moment at 0:54, when Freeman goes from unnerved kidnapped victim to something not-quite-safe, with just a turn of his head, is just masterclass acting.
Such amazing camera work.
one of the great advantages of Sherlock.
ikr
BBC has a good team I imagine :)
quite right man , you are wise enough to notice
Absolutely adore Mycroft’s head tilt at 1:23
The absolute best 5 minutes in this episode. I get goosebumps every time I see this because it is so scary and so fantastically well acted. This is drama on a high level. Please let there be a fifth season.
flutejansson Yeah!
With both Cumberbatch and Freeman now doing marvel blockbusters that's not gonna happen which is why they ended the series the way they did. Cos it was this gig that got Ben famous in the first place he doesn't need tv anymore.
I would like to know more about johns "ptsd" and his relationship with his family, more his sister
kittycat kit they clearly still speak cause she comments on every single one of his blog posts yet she didn’t come to the wedding?? That’s a bit odd.
@@dantesgarbagefire4844 Harry is a drinker and she did not come to the wedding because of the alcohol that was served there
Mycroft is very cool!
Roy Clark yeees, obviously.
I used to think Mycroft's name was Microsoft lmao.
blackham7 I used to think so too
He sure is. I love him. Awesome. I love this scene. Mycroft wants to deduce John and get to know him. Make sure that if John and Sherlock are gonna be around each other more that John will be able to understand Sherlock. Mycroft knows his brother. He knows it can be difficult for people to understand and to like Sherlock.
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.
I'll always remember showing this episode to my sister for the first time, she was so wrapped up in the suspense it was great and then out of nowhere my dad blurts out "that's his brother isn't it?"
...way to go dad 😂
*You're not haunted by the war, Dr Watson*
*You miss it*
This gives me goosebumps every time
I honestly thought Mycroft was Moriarty in this scene when watching for the first time.)) He can be soo creepy and dangerous when he wishes to. I totally believe Sherlock when he says Mycroft is the most dangerous man John's ever met. Look forward to more Mycroft in the upcoming episodes.
Those umbrella skills though. Wow just wow.
One of my favourite scenes in the first season. Played perfectly by two amazing actors. Brilliant.
I can watch this scene over and over again ... both Martin Freeman and Mark Gatiss are such a great actors.
Maybe People have different favourite versions of Sherlock but Mark Gatiss's Mycroft will no doubt be the best Mycroft ever
Gatiss was great, but it's Charles Grey for me.
I couldnt agree more with this! He is simply PERFECT
"You're not haunted by the war, Dr Watson. You miss it"
The simplicity of the battlefield, and it's complexity. The battle lines, drawn and quartered to make right, and the ever flowing goal, to win, and by extension, survive.
The moment you realize that Mycroft is actually a Kingsman with his umbrella
Kingsman name: Percival
At this scene, I was so convinced that Mycroft is the enemy and wants to get Sherlock killed. Little did I knew that he always keeps a eye on his brother to make sure that he is safe.
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.
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.
And then Sherlock told John later on, that they could have split the money.
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.
Mycroft being able to read Watson is a hint that he is a Holmes. Both of the brothers have that talent of reading small details.
But Moriarty and Irene can do that too so.
this is my absolute favorite scene!!! and the part where he tells him that he is not haunted by the war, is my ringtone :)
HAHA THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!
"your not haunted by the war,
you miss it."
woah. I think that's genuinely the smartest thing he has ever said... :0
This was good, but what i liked the most about this scene is Sherlocks second message that confirms what Mycroft said there and that Sherlock of course knows this as well.
Apart from usual Sherlock brilliance,
what I liked is how Mark asserted his superiority, I absolutely loved his character, what a fabulous personality what an imposing aura he project while on screen. He could be the world's most feared villian or highest power wielder in government both shades suits him.
Love that Mycroft pulls out the diary to refer to John’s medical notes for dramatic effect, even though he would have memorised them almost instantaneously.
Hell, that smile at the end killed me...
The way Mycroft Holmes said that John Watson misses the war and not haunted by it is so spine-chilling with making John choose a side.
Lol i Love mycroft hes such a babe
ikr lol
Haha thank god I'm not the only one... I have an intense attraction to him.
Danielle Silva thank you
Indeed he is so cute 😍😍😍
When you just see him standing there at the start, there is nothing. Then he starts talking and the facial expressions begin and....yes there it is. Damn Holmes boys.
This silly, over-dramatic, over-protective big brother...how we love him
'When you walk with Sherlock Holmes, you see the battlefield', there will always be great many Holmes but Mark Gatiss is the real Mycroft.
I like Mycroft's character - cold , calculated, cunning and funny - the iceman.
Everyone seems to skip over this initial meeting where Mycroft first meets John Watson. Mycroft discovers John's limits and convictions as he scares the hell out of John revealing things about John that even John is hesitant to admit to himself.
Ahhh season 1, the golden years.
I love of how John when he first met Sherlock was like “brilliant” but when he met Mycroft was like “who the hell are you”.
Mycroft’s umbrella is a paid actor
2:24 Mark gatiss handles the umbrella so well. Last time I tried that it flung a metre ahead of me and hit a kid. I ran away when she started crying
I only realised now, that Sherlock's message "Could be dangerous" directly plays off of Mycroft saying that Watson misses the war
“You’re very loyal very easy.” - For some reason I keep repeating this phrase to myself a lot.
What is amazed me more about Sherlock's family, is how so ordinary parents could grow up such a three extraordinary children.
I'm just here to listen to Mycroft's posh accent
Mark gatiss does pomp so well.
I love Mycroft. He's one of my favorite characters in this series.
This has to be the one of the most bad-arse scenes in Sherlock depicting the next-level intelligence of Mycroft's character in a proper way.
When I first watched this scene, it blew my mind. My mind is STILL blown.
When MYCROFT HOLMES tells you to subscribe, you do it.
Without hesitation...
This scene is perfect in every way - the dialogue, the acting, the setting, the music and the overall sound. All coming together to create a masterpiece of TV drama.
I love Mycroft!
You know, I never noticed Mycroft slip at 1:14 before lol Look at him trying to act like nothing happened
I was so convinced that he was Moriarty!!! I remember being super excited! And then he turned out to be Mycroft and I got even more excited!!!
Oh I miss Sherlock. The first two series were one of the best things ever.
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.
Makes me want to rewatch the whole series again.
"welcome back....." so delightfully creepy in all it infer.
The clear genius of this writing, one is both terrified and impressed by Mycroft's intelligence and Mark Gatiss, what an actor 👏
I love how their dynamic changed over the course of this series. Watson in this episode thought of Mycroft as a threat. In the later episodes, he makes fun of him, but with a level of respect.
Mycroft Holmes is the most badass character in Sherlock. Imagine handling Sherlock, Eurus and Moriarty at the same time!
I just love everything. The music, the lighting, the sound production, and, especially, the performances.
I love the idea that there are a ton more people like Sherlock in the world. He’s just the only one that actually lives above ground.
Mycroft is a savage
I miss Sherlock! ❤🔝
I mean he does put him under a lot of stress
He played with him so easily...
I love Mycroft... DON'T DIE
I've got hots for Mycroft in this scene... Not gonna lie
John - Refuses the money , stays loyal to Sherlock
Sherlock the next second :
You should have taken it we could have shared the money, next time think it through.
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.
I liked Eurus.
Same here
Her episode was amazing, I seriously that one was the best of all the seasons
I wish they would've kept Moriarty out of the earlier season, use different villains in each season and make them more dangerous leading to Moriarty, so the writers dont have to worry abt making the next villain ended up less powerful and underwhelming than Moriarty. But oh well... Its already at season 4 so whats done is done
I always thought Magnusson was going to be an amazing follow up villain from Moriarty. The early glimpses of him in season 3 and the power games he played made him feel different yet still dangerous. Shame how it was handled though.
I remember at the end of the episode, when Mycroft appears again, I was like "NO SHERLOCK! DON'T TRUST HIM! HE'S MORIARTY" and my brother was dying of laughs at my face when I discover he was Sherlock's Brother.
It's been over four years since the last episode of this extraordinary program was aired. Will we ever see another? I doubt it. Still, there are very few things in this world that could gladden my heart as much as to hear that the BBC had gotten together with Moffat, Gatiss, Cumberbatch and Freeman to create another exciting four episode series of Sherlock. No doubt millions more would also have their hearts gladdened to hear such news.
Mycrof is really good brother
"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?
Ok.
Rewatched A Study in Pink yesterday, still holds up after 9 years!
How can you not love mycroft?
Mycroft in this serie is my favorite character. And generally one of my favorite fictional character from all series or movies at all.
I watched this hundreds times and thought every single time that Mark and Martin were just super super brilliant! Chilling feeling watching it! Of course the script was perfect and the camera work is superb.
Mycroft: Most people blunder around this city and all they see are streets and shops and cars, But when you walk with Sherlock Holmes, You see the battlefield. You have seen it already, Haven't you?
John: What's wrong with my hand?
Mycroft: You have an intemittent tremor in your left hand. Your therpsaist thinks it PTSD. She thinks you are haunted by memories of your military service.
John: Who the hell are you? How do you know that?
Mycroft: Fire her. She's got it the wrong way around. You are under stress right now. And your hand is perfectly steady. You're not haunted by the war Dr. Watson - You miss it. Welcome back.
