Basically, Benedict’s face doing things-part 7

New analysis on Sherlock: “The chemistry of feelings”. 

Moments when his face shows sentiment. Only when he’s alone or taken aback. Inspired by ”Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side” and “I imagine John Watson thinks love’s a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive” and of course Benedict’s acting.

This episode should have brought him the Bafta in my opinion. The range of feelings shown is overwhelming and more so is the “fake feelings display”. The actor Benedict Cumberbatch makes Sherlock act like an actor and from the moment he goes to see Molly with his “I think I’m going to die” speech, he fakes almost every reaction and everything is perfectly calculated, except for the pics I gave you. It was very fun to analyze, feel free to go through them all and appreciate a great actor.

Here you go, 82 pics of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock acting and feeling and acting like he’s feeling.
