Yes, throw in a little blackmail, theft (perhaps a large pearl), insurance scam…

You posted what I was thinking. In the beginning, I liked the idea of the sweater representing Sheldon's mental "itchiness". I was going along with this episode just fine until Sheldon reveled his seven year plot, then the entire episode when south for me. I can tolerate, actually enjoy, Sheldon's quirks when they are…

You made me laugh - thanks. Great image of trying to rewinding a DVD.

Very funny - in an incredibly disturbing way!

Wow, you have better vision than I! It is still a stretch to believe Sherlock wouldn't be able to identify every person (and everything about each of them) in the room. That is what he does. I will let it go because there is no other way to get the shock of Mycroft speaking up - which was great (appalling but great).…

I thought the jokes about how odd the two of them were (happy in their platonic relationship) was better than the current jokes.

I remember that episode, but I was never sure she enjoyed the experience - more of a scientific detached observation. She talked about it like she was donating blood. For a while, I thought she was going to show up with a girlfriend, when she realize Penny was unavailable (the episode with the giant painting was so…

You are right, this is a good way to set up conflict, and I am sure that was the plan. However, I don't want to see Sheldon progress; I like him just the insufferable way he is. I can handle the other characters developing a bit, but Sheldon is iconic - as is. I understand others may want him to move forward, so I…

I didn't like that Watson lied to Sherlock early in the episode when he asked if they had had sex and she said no. She only fessed up when badgered. I want her to be honest with Holmes - something I would expect from a (former) sober companion. I do realize that Holmes was less than forthcoming about his sleeping with…

I asked my husband (large animal veterinarian - but NOT involved with the elite world of horse racing/breeding, so factor that into my comment reliability) about how equine "hook-ups" occur. The mare usually does the traveling; I assume due to the fact mares are easier to handle than stallions. Arrangements can vary,…

You wound me with a trolling accusation. No! Sheldon uses the word coitus often on TBBT, and when Sherlock used it, I was reminded of how Sheldon says it. I realize the shows are entirely different, but they both have a genius who has social-interaction shortcomings. They are also accepted or tolerated by their…

Also, I reviewed the opening scene, and Mycroft isn't there when Sherlock starts talking. He had to come in after Sherlock started speaking. I would have thought he would have been heard entering on an old wooden floor, but perhaps Sherlock was too involved in sharing to hear him. In fact, it looks like several people…

They should have left Amy as asexual as Sheldon. I could have endured the rest of the characters mocking or being confused over their non-sexual relationship. Now, the constant jokes about Amy's frustration are wearing thin. I can't picture the Sheldon - Amy relationship coming to a satisfactory conclusion for both of…

According to Celebrity Networth - Bob is worth 65 million. So, probably not working for the money.

I want to like Mycroft, but when he "stalked" Sherlock to the meeting and invaded his privacy - allowing Sherlock to go on for a while before announcing his presences, it was such a violation. As the episode went on, this breech of privacy and ethics was ignored. Why would he do that? Sleeping with Watson wasn't…

Does he have a talent for the act of… coitus? Yes, so funny. It made me immediately think of Sheldon from The Big Bang. There are a few shared "quirks" between Sheldon and Sherlock.

I love his voice but wish he would wash his hair or get another haircut…something?

Agree, but I would add the relationship between the brothers concerning the 'sleep-over" with Watson as a bump to the episode grade. All the Marchioness stuff was boring - backdrop for the family drama.

Or, it could be AI (artificial insemination)?

No One - did you see I did the underlining!!!!
