Sherlock

I felt that the start was disappointing. Why would Moriarty just let them go because of a phone-call?

You should put it in a spoiler!

But I agree that bit was almost jaw dropping. The best bit and the whole run up to it. The whole code thing was brilliant.



The episode was bloody fantastic. The plot was quite elaborate, and you need to be paying attention to watch it (probably best to watch it by yourself on iPlayer) but oh my life it was good.

there are still a few details that i didn't fully understand, possibly because i was half asleep when i watched it, or because i'm just dense x)

- what was the guy doing dead in his boot? if they were using people who were already dead on the 'coventry' flights then how could he have checked onto another flight or have been late if he was already dead?
- i'm also guessing that since mycroft didn't want moriarty to find out about the baltimore flight, the baltimore flight was an alternative flight that they had moved the passengers from the flight that was targeted by the bombers on to (as opposed to the baltimore flight being the flight with the dead people on it). the thing that i don't understand is why mycroft decided to fill the flight with corpses; surely if you were a terrorist bringing a bomb onto a plane, you would notice if the plane was full of corpses and that would defeat the point of you blowing up the plane?

Is Irene in just the one episode this season?

^

I'd hope so. Since she was only in the 1 Holmes story.

It says on wikipedia "It has been announced that actor Russell Tovey will appear in "The Hounds of Baskerville"[51] and that Lara Pulver will portray Irene Adler"

So not a specific mention of just one episode. Can read this if you read the books

hmmm but i thought that conan doyle revived sherlock after 'the final problem'? or maybe i just dreamed that up D:

but thank you for clearing things up for me

Oh, isn't it brilliant?
And Benedict's cheekbones

I'm hoping he hasn't started again. If they were that bothered about him accepting a cigarette off Mycroft then he surely hasn't done anything other than nicotine (maybe just some of Mrs Hudson's 'herbal soothers' )

So so good! So many good moments. So well written,so well acted, so well made. So!



I thought maybe the offering of a cigarette was like a test - Sherlock had given up smoking and was working hard to keep it us, by him taking it it was perhaps proof that he was in a bad state emotionally, he couldn't be bothered to not, so might consider taking something else when on his normal mind he would stop himself? Which maybe explains John's reaction to hearing Sherlock had taken the cigarette?
That was a long, rambly sentence, not explained well! It's all down to interpretation ahah
I didn't even get it as being to do with drugs the first time, someone had to tell me, I just thought he might do something stupid and wondered why they had searched the flat!
On another note aahahahhah he has a sock categorisation! Brilliant!
