It's a plot-hole in that it's a plot point that's left to our imagination, but that doesn't mean there's no way he could have found that information - happens all the time in a show like this where everything has to be crammed into 41 minutes. It doesn't matter how he found out - if it did they would have found a way…
1) yep, you're right. While I was watching the episode I took it more as a culmination of general frustration that her whole life revolves around her relationship with Sherlock (awesome as it is), and simply took it for granted that she wouldn't lose her shit so hard just because Sherlock stole that case from her when…
Happy to agree with you there. I'm also finally resigned to the fact I've joined the dots in the wrong order. Again.
Well, there's plenty of time for them to make him interesting if they go down that route. Whoever it is we're all going to be jealous right? I think the bigger challenge is fitting them both in the same shot.
liked for the awful, awful archaeology pun
Fair enough. I don't think it's specifically romantic frustration by the way, more frustration at how she has very little going on in her life apart from Sherlock and detective work, and Sherlock's taken away a potential opportunity for her pursue a life outside of this. I hear your point about exploring the…
I was thinking it was probably his parents who had the messed up marraige
I think this might be one of the best episodes the show's ever done outside the last few episodes of season 1 for the reasons you state. I did have a different read on the disagreement between Sherlock and Joan though. I'm pretty sure what she was actually annoyed about was the fact that she had made a brief…
oh god yes please let it be Mary!
I just watched the episode again and had another thought about that last scene. I think we could going down a path where Sherlock and Joan's relationship becomes more than platonic, and I find myself ok with it. I know, I know, but bear with me.
or both?
whoops! my bad, thanks
I never would have picked Moriarty for a "Jamie". Seems a bit too frivolous for the RP accent and overall way she carries herself!
I loved this episode, but something about Sherlock telling Joan about "romantic love being a delusion" and how he's now "post-love" after that whole Moriarty business didn't quite sit right with me at first. The whole part about feeling "liberated" after discovering Irene's true identity (which was brought up last…
I think it's basically a gentlemanly way of saying "nice ass". I paused the episode and wrote it down to store away for future reference, although to be honest I think I'd have trouble pulling it off….
It's just an offhand dismissive snipe which is supposed to tell us something about Mycroft. Everyone needs to take a deep breath I think
@google-f1ec5deff3b76bed87de9ecb7714d6fd:disqus Do you seriously want to go there? Because we can go there.
While it's easy to dismiss this guy as a humourless idiot, I felt really uncomfortable reading that old post because it touches on so many of Australia's insecurities about how it is perceived by the rest of the world, and by Americans especially.
what the fuck just happened?
