Sherlock, S2 Ep2

Sherlock, S2 Ep2

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, here's the review for the second episode in the second series of Sherlock. Without any further ado, let's get started, shall we ?

The Hound Of Baskerville

So, here are the three words I've chosen for this episode :

Hound : In this episode, which is all about a hound that has been seen around the fields of Baskerville, an important and very well-defended military base, we can see Sherlock investing on this gigantic hound, and also on a rabbit, and the two cases seem to be linked to the same place, Baskerville. They decide to investigate and discover many government secrets while being there, and eventually learn the truth about the hound... which is not quite what they thought it would be.

Drug : In the end, the project H.O.U.N.D. is just about a drug they had experimented twenty years ago, and the tests weren't not concluant, so the participants who had given their initials to form the word ''hound'' decided to leave this project they had worked on in Liberty, Indiana, behind them, and decide to move on. However, one of them decided that it had to work, so he kept using this drug that make people hallucinate and very suggestible, paranoid and afraid, and also, to keep Henry Knight silent about how he had killed his father who had learnt about it in front of him when he was just a child.

Influence : To get into Baskerville, Sherlock used his brother Mycroft's I.D. and tried to stay as long as possible inside, before being caught. Only the scientist (sorry don't remember his name) claimed to recognise him to get him out of trouble. Really, even if Mycrofts claims to have a minor position in the government, he as quite a big influence that can open him many doors closed to the general public. He even had to call him back to have his therory proved by some ''testing'' he's done on John (I think it's an act of revenge because John, in my opinion, pointed out a little too much how Sherlock was afraid of the hound, so he wanted to make fun of him as well. Quite good, this Sherlock, better not mess with him unless you want to lose.) In conclusion, influence means power, and power means everything, since it can do everything for you.

Overall impression : Another really great episode, and you know what's the next one ! The conclusion of the second series ! Who's in for a lot of feels ?

Okay, that's it for today, I hope that you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with another one !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !
