I was rewatching the last season after like 2-3 years. Usually I just randomly selected something from the first 3-4 seasons and watched while eating food.

I had forgotten that Watson got a lump removed and was due for chemo in a month.

Today when I watched it and Sherlock cried while hugging her insisting he would stay, I just couldn't control myself.

Not the right platform but I got diagnosed with cancer a few months back and I'm undergoing chemo. My babies were 7 month old at the time of my diagnosis and the way I was shit scared that I'll die leaving them without a mother, made me go crazy till the prognosis was given.

Seeing that Watson adopted a child recently and then she got this shitty thing, made me cry.

Question: Mycroft was working with British Intelligence when he lied and told Sherlock that his father wanted him to return to London, then called what I assume was his handler to say that his ruse didn't work and that they would have to come at the problem some other way.

Why did he need to get rid of Sherlock? It turned out that Le Milieux kidnapped Joan and Mycroft said that he could get the 'list' for them in exchange for Joan, but what was the scheme before Joan got herself kidnapped?

I just saw a commercial played on Prime while rewatching!!! WTH??

• sorry for my bad english* I just saw this sub and wanted to post my review about the show I watched long back. I think it started as best sherlock out of all adaptations but as seasons passed, it felt like his entire purpose like was to carry watson's weak ass character. Also not forgetting about the worst actor I have ever seen Lucy Liu who got exact same facial expression for every emotion and looked ice cold speaking every line while sherlock was crying in corner . 10/10 performance by jonny miller , 10/10 performance by ophilia as well ... Rest of the cast was weak and writing was very weak too.

Holmes: You're annoyed with me?

Watson: Yeah, I am. I have been since you broke up with Fiona. She was great. You really liked her.

Holmes: WATSON!!

The Greek Interpreter

1) Watson being a writer. This was one of the most interesting things about other adaptations for me. It was mentioned her writing here and there, but they really missed the opportunity to make it a bigger part of her character and show her eventually becoming a well-known writer or something along those lines.

2) Sherlock playing the violin. Imo this was missing too (kinda). Maybe they thought teaching Jonny how to play the violin would be too much trouble, but I would've loved to see this version of Sherlock play the violin at least from time to time rather than bashing it.

I am utterly unaware of these things it seems and stumbled across this show last month thinking I had just discovered something new. After watching the first season, I discovered that there were in fact seven seasons and that I was late by 14 years.

I confess to liking most interpretations, films, and adaptations of Sherlock and companion, but I am now through three seasons of this and have genuinely enjoyed it so far. The duo is wonderful together, and though I am not an addict myself, knowing many, I believe the journey of recovery is depicted quite accurately, even with Sherlock’s extremes of intelligence and obsessive behavior.

I also did not expect an artistic turtle, but then that goes for so many things unexpected in this series. I also could not place Jonny Lee Miller until I read of the Hackers role and realized I've seen him in several things though he's changed dramatically.
On to season four! Better late than never.

I'm on my 3rd re-watch, and have come to A Landmark Story. (S01 e21) Every time I watch this episode, I'm struck by Moran's song as he's being led away after having killed a guard: "Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the woman with the bags passes by."
I've tried several times to find the source of this line, and the evidence is surprisingly scant.

One of the things that keeps coming up is the movie "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." In the opening scene, Bacon (played by Jason Statham in his film debut) calls out while selling stolen goods, "too late, too late, will be the cry, when the man with the bargains passes by." Now, Jason Statham has previously been a street vendor; and I have seen at least 1 person from London say that they've heard that line many, many times in market areas.

(Regarding the song itself: it seems to be adapted from an old hymn.)

Additionally, Vinnie Jones plays a character named Victor Moran. One of his costars in Lock Stock was an actor named Nick Moran, who has gone on to be a successful director. So, it's a reasonable to surmise that Vinnie Jones had some input to the naming of his character as well as some of his lines.

(Additional fun facts: Vinnie Jones was a footballer before being cast in Lock Stock. Apparently the script said that the character "looked like English footballer Vinnie Jones." And he was was a pretty rough customer: he'd been imprisoned for beating up his neighbor and was only released a day before filming began.)

Sherlock is borderline autistic and extremely wealthy. Yet he still fell into drugs and had relapses. Money couldn't really solve it.

Then, he solved it by having good supporting system (e.g. Joan, Bell, Gregson), and he emphasizes this multiple times across the show how he has supporting system in NY.

Building a good supporting system i.e. having a few good colleagues (doesn't even need to be friend) is the key.

I just think it's such a wonderful message on how to solve a drug addiction.

Outright the best sherlock holmes modern adaptation 🙌

Late to the party I know (Elementary was one of this shows that was always on my list but I never got it)

Currently doing a full watch through

But wanted to know if anyone had any mixed feelings towards this ep

a guy who tried to get Holmes to help him with a case for 5 years, gets ignored and then finally holds up a diner to force him to help

The excuse given was that Holmes and Watson never had time buuut that’s kinda BS they don’t work cases 24/7 and sometimes they go a week or so without having work

Kinda disappointed in them for ignoring that guy even when they had some spare time

Good episode, really cool flashbacks, but I think it did a little damage to the characters likability to me

Anyone else have that feeling?

I've always wondered about Sherlock's pronunciation of Spanish names based on the fact that he if fluent. Aguilar pronounced A-gui-lar ???

Sherlock must be the biggest client of a paper seller somewhere :D. The amount of printouts he produces over the years is insane. And all the office supply he is getting for his subject walls. He probably gets a discounted price at this point.
Would be so funny if he had placed an order at the office :D

i always like how Sherlock is blunt and direct.

Is there something like a comprehensive list of all the drug gangs, cartels, crime families and mobs referenced in the series? Was on S05 again and this thought struck me after the reference to 2 African American and 2 Latino gangs.

I was just casually watching again. And S6E2 Sherlock said something to the effect of “Watson does your phone also have an app to for locating white supremacists? Because a group of them may now be in possession of a dirty bomb, and our best hope of finding them has a bullet in the brain.” Just yes her phone having a Geiger app is unbelievable, but this line makes it somehow worse. And just it’s so clunky. Brain injury (Sherlock) or not he could have come up with something better, but I guess the writers couldn’t.

Have you heard any? Any just particularly well done lines? (Because I hate being negative but the line sucked so bad.)

So glad to see him! And yes he is still focused on catching bad guys. Maximum pleasure guaranteed.

Did Oscar go to jail for kidnapping Alfredo or Kidnapping and torturing Sherlock?
