Here's the famous detective Sherlock Holmes in action.

In this clip, he has to prove that a painting is fake in only ten seconds.

Exploding star, only appeared in the sky in 1858.

So, how could it have been painted in the 1640s?

By the way, you can say so-called to refer to the way something or someone is usually called or known for.

In this case, the Van Buren supernova is usually called the exploding star.

You can also say aka, which means also known as.

So, we could say the Van Buren supernova, aka the exploding star.

No enjoying the thrill of the chase is fine.

Craving the distraction of the game, I sympathize entirely, but sentiment.

Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.

You don't actually think I was interested in you.

Because you're the great Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective in the funny hat?

Something elaborate is complex, difficult, full of details.

But you can also use the word elaborate as a verb.

For example, if I ask you, hey, can you please elaborate?

I'm asking you to explain in more detail something you said earlier.

You care to elaborate?  It's not in my interest for Hector Salamanca to die at this time.

In this context here, the thrill is the excitement.

And to chase means to pursue or go after something or someone.

Imagine, for example, the police that chases the thieves or the criminals.

So the phrase the thrill of the chase means the excitement of the chase.

Let's watch another clip from Sherlock where the same phrase is used.

The thrill of the chase, the blood pumping through your veins, just the two of us against the rest of the world.

Craving the distraction of the game, I sympathize entirely with sentiment.

When you crave something, you have a strong desire for it.

For example, after lunch, I always crave a piece of chocolate.

You see, it's that strong desire to have that piece of chocolate after lunch.

We can understand the game as maybe a mystery or a case that a detective or private investigator has to work on.

In American English, people would probably write this word I-Z-E at the end.

Sympathize with a Z at the end, not with an S.
