*Rewatch* While You Were Sleeping (1.02) - Episode Discussion

While You Were Sleeping (1.02) - Episode Discussion


Holmes and Watson investigate the murders of two illegitimate children of a wealthy businessman, but matters are complicated when a witness identifies a woman in a coma—and the man's legitimate daughter—as the murderer. Holmes races to find other potential victims while under suspect of harassing witnesses and watched by police. Holmes is also introduced to and begins working with NYPD Detective Marcus Bell (Jon Michael Hill), ON “ELEMENTARY,” THURSDAY, OCT. 4 2012







While You Were Sleeping” – Sherlock is called in to consult a burglary that resulted in the death of the homeowner.

This was a cool case. That coma sister was coldblooded, geez.

I've rewatched season 1 this past week. it's been great revisiting their relationship at the beginning, when Sherlock appeared to be trying to drive her off. lol

It's very interesting to revisit JoanLock early relationship.

Like always a very unusual case but always showing the darkest side of human beings: inducing a coma to kill your half-siblings and *gasp* even you're only sibling for inheritance; and another episode with great interactions between the cast.

There are also a lot of tiny moments that shows Watson’s interest in her future career, like how she starts walking, hears the captain's call and turns back. Also the progression between her not wanting to see/touch dead bodies on crime scenes to actively taking part in the investigation is nice.

Since it was the episode where Det Bell was introduced, it was obvious he and Sherlock would be butting head, I loved the handshake in the end meaning the beginning of a great collaboration.

I’m not a specialist in autism obviously but Sherlocks behavior and body language seems more to channel autism in S1 and JLM does it very well. It was a big step for Sherlock, as he attended his first group meeting and was not too happy about it. Seeing him taking it out on Watson, messing with her personal life and throwing a few tantrums, even setting is violin on fire to make himself heard. But surprisingly, he was also capable of being nice giving the rehab center address to the PI.

The end angsty Sherlock is the best kind.

The end :love : angsty Sherlock is the best kind.
When you watch his behavior in this eppy, it makes it more understandable why his family doesn't exactly come around more often. He's not a pleasant person at all.

To see him go from this to someone who "likes Watson's mother" and intervenes in that relationship is quite remarkable.

To go back from his S3 behavior to this, I agree, he is really an annoying person; no wonder no one wants to be around him.
