Sherlocked Benedict Talk Videos

[wynterblackwell.livejournal.com]

Sorry it took so long but here are my videos of Benedict's talk.
They are not perfect, my hand moved a lot and sometimes because people's head moved in the way my camera focused on that.
It's not the whole talk and some of them missing it's end.
I was sitting fairly far from the stage holding up my fairly heavy camera which is why they are the way they are.

Enjoy.

Pt. 2 of 2

Re: the 'other sibling'. I discussed this with my actual siblings and decided that 1- the sibling would have had to be older than Mycroft (b'c if he/she came in-between, that person would have been going to school with them when they were younger; and b'c while Mycroft has the older sibling down pat perfectly, it actually makes sense in that a- I have 2 older siblings very close in age and both have that sort of oldest sibling attitude & b- if there was something off about whomever this person was, Mycroft would have had to assume all the oldest sibling responsibilities and thus it would revert again to what I said re older siblings anyway); 2- if the sibling had emotional/psychological problems, the Holmes might have sent him/her away if he/she was a danger to the others and if the problems became so serious later in life, apparently Mycroft allowed the secret government to 'get rid of' that sibling; 3- if the sibling was as bright as all other Holmes' children but had lesser emo/psych problems then I was suggesting BUT it included similar drug addiction problems that would allow him/her to give away government secrets, see number 2 (Sherlock would never do that, if he knew the secrets, b'c as we noted, he actually is on the side of the angels, willing to fight to the death for two years to rid the world of enemies/treasonous foes, instead of just allowing 'someone else' to deal with the mess).

(I hope that made sense.)

This is fun!

I honestly have no idea about the third sibling. I just have a feeling whatever happened to him it wasn't pleasant because of the way Mycroft mentioned it.

I just have a feeling whatever happened to him it wasn't pleasant because of the way Mycroft mentioned it.

I got the impression that Mycroft gave the okay for either a kill order or a 'throw him in the dungeon 'til the end of time' order so no, not pleasant.

No idea what happened but from the pilot forward, have believed wholeheartedly that Mycroft and Sherlock love one another deeply; they simply aren't the type of men who speak of such things. In fact, when Mycroft DID say that the loss of Sherlock would break his heart (or something very close to that), Sherlock's response was something along the lines of what in the world I am supposed to say to that?! (Like, Good God! Didn't we agree ages and ages ago never to speak of such things out loud! What is your problem!!) And then Mycroft blames it on the punch.

So, whatever the problem with the 'other sibling', I have to imagine it was something that was likely clear from the very beginning. B'c I have this sense that Mycroft saw Sherlock in his little bassinet and fell instantly in love and decided at that very moment he would never let anything happen to his little brother. (That's my head canon.)
