This is why I love Cumberbatch as Sherlock. WARNING: I AM ABOUT TO PREACH. In our culture right now stupidity and especially male stupidity tends to be glorified. Everything is about dumbing down especially when it comes to portrayals of maleness. It’s like you can’t be a real man unless your entire life centers around the three Bs: beer, boobs and book-ignoring. Cumberbatch’s performance in Sherlock says eff that. It says the smartest guy in the room is also the sexiest guy in the room. Especially if he is already possibly the sexiest guy in the room anyway.
The amounts of love for Benedict Cumberbatch…
…all over the world, all over the internet right now…
It makes me feel so fucking proud to be his fan.
OMG… the greatest declaration of love for Sherlock and Cumberbatch ever…
Who has given the best performance on television over the past few years? Jon Hamm? Bryan Cranston? Damian Lewis? Michael C. Hall?
No. Cumberbatch, damn you. Cumberbatch as Sherlock.
Here is what I love about Cumberbatch as Sherlock. First of all, I love the dancerly way he moves. I love his physical flourishes. The way he punctuates his movements. It is all so consciously actorly. And that is the whole point of the character right? Sherlock is always performing. How much pain and sadness is he hiding behind those consciously flamboyant mannerisms, the boyish petulance, the deliberately over-the-top smartest-guy-in-any-imaginable-room arrogance? That’s the real mystery of the show. Not who killed some dame and took her pink cell phone.
Cumberbatch attacks this character with almost gluttonous relish. It’s like watching a fat man joyously assault a plate of fried chicken but without the disgust. Cumberbatch has more fun playing Sherlock than any human being should have doing anything. He makes acting seem greater than the greatest sex that has ever been had. But even more importantly? He makes smartness sexy as hell.

Cumberbatch prefers the hows to the whys of acting, and he found a kindred spirit in Meryl Streep, his co-star in this fall’s August: Osage County. “I asked her how she approached the multiple layers of her part,” says Cumberbatch. “And she said, ‘I don’t know. I don’t have a process. It changes with every job, doesn’t it?’ And I thought, Oh, thank God, to hear her say it. This whole thing about technique or method? It’s bullshit. People say, ‘Oh, you’re so precise.’ But within that I work very hard to give every part a heartbeat. I learned a lot from just watching Meryl in repose. It was a bit like a Sherlock deduction actually.”

Sherlock is trending worldwide…
One of the most erotic and perfect scenes in the history of television. Actors, dialogue, scenery, music, cut, costumes… everything is flawless.
It probably wasn’t even meant to be that sexy, but Mr. Cumberbatch just couldn’t help himself… his voice in that scene! The moment he realizes that she loves him, that she’s vulnerable…
How he takes her hand! Look how his fingers are caressing her wrist… How he looks at her, how he whispers in her ear… that sexual tension between those two…
God and how he’s pressing the buttons of his phone in the end, so aggressively, he makes it look like a sexual act, like he’s doing it to her… it’s so masterfully played, and Lara Pulver is just reacting so congenial… in her position I would have moaned aload in that scene…
He’s rubbing his thumb when he’s nervous… another proof how Cumberbatch really invented the character he’s playing, making him thrilling and human and round…
Swag.
These two men are the same person.
He is I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. …
We can all stand in awe of the unknown and the majesty of what we are part of in this life but I think the beauty of science is that it is as beautiful to me as any religious or spiritual revelation to untag an understanding of your world. There’s so much to wonder at even though we have a really specific understanding of these things that we wonder at. It doesn’t diminish the romance of these discoveries, you know? You can still be in awe of something even if you understand it and I think that’s what’s remarkable about Holmes and of course he does it with a flourish which is entertaining and that can be quite fun. He likes to pull back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, he likes to see, you know, what’s going on, what makes the machine work rather than just standing back and going Gosh, isn’t that just fantastic!
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Brainy little fucker.
