So in the unaired pilot they had drugged Sherlock threatened with “Look at you, weak as a kitten. Good thing I only want to kill you.”
And now we have this CAM deleted scene that reads very much like a sexual assault.
So that’s two super rapey scenes they’ve had on this show with Sherlock as the victim… and they cut this one and reshot the pilot.
Then of course the stuff with Irene that did make it onto the show.
I’m just trying to parse what that all means exactly.
“Would she not have made an admirable queen? Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?”
“From what I have seen of the lady she seems indeed to be on a very different level to your Majesty,” said Holmes coldly.
