Their timing was so great in that bit.

@avclub-db8e117e08564f6443a44df97ccca9dc:disqus Has anyone noticed that the start of the Secretariat song sounds like the start of "Hey, Soul Sister"?

You can always sleep through work tomorrow!

@DoctorChimRichalds:disqus Granted.  But also an alien horse.

Military-funded groups actually do like to make t-shirts and commemorative coins and badges and crap like that for themselves, and put snarling/screaming animals on them.  It makes them feel badass.  And it's not like the doofy logos reveal anything about the nature of the work.

@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus Well, that *is* too bad, then.  I think Cumberbatch should always play an alien or a King of the Horses or an alien King of the Horses.

Oh, more nitpicking.  If that cute young corporal at the Baskerville lab really thought he was giving inspectors a tour, shouldn't John have—slapped him or something, for evasive uselessness?  I guess they don't slap people.  But, still, yelled at him or something.

Well, if we're going to nitpick!

@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus Ha ha, yes.  Hilarious.

@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus On the one hand, I sympathize with anger over Hollywood whitewashing.

Really, though—if you've got a minor celebrity (which Sherlock has become by this point) with a live-in PA of the same sex who looks on adoringly at him in photos and blogs admiringly about him (you can call John other things, but "live-in PA" isn't really inaccurate…)—

But Gabe doesn't look like a police sketch of a rapist.

Is he the one who asked Ewan MacGregor about boning Louis CK?

Noooo!

VPVP *could* be an acronym.

@avclub-e20626fceb033618dfa567b51bbd5a49:disqus I have happy news!

Yes.  Sherlock was so *pleased* they were making this trip out to an explosive, windswept landscape.

I thought it was just to show how desperately Sherlock was trying to cling to deduction, to feel like his mind wasn't out of control.
