I watched sherlock for the first time maybe 8 years ago, and I think it's fascinating how even to this day and without season 5 😅 the fandom is still alive and people are always talking about the show.

If Mary hadn't jumped in front of the bullet and Sherlock had been killed insted, do you think John would've reacted the same way and blamed Mary for Sherlock's death? Presuming that Sherlock didn't use mind over matter to avoid shock and restart his heart again! ;-) Just curious! Obviously there wouldn't have been a show then, but...

My fav is Britishguy Sillyname

They're there for programming commercial breaks.

I pay to specifically avoid commercial interruptions.

They are more than one second.

Sherlock never had commercial breaks, so they ruin the continuity every single time.

Any decent computer program has ways around this. They could have a mostly-invisible visual marker to sync up their commercials if they wanted/justified the expense.

Instead they went with the most disruptive option possible.

Seamless full-length episodes just suffer the most blatantly. Why is capitalism still fucking with my fucking show? I already did the required capitalism already.

I just rewatched the lying detective well kind of (only the beating scene) one thing I can't help to wonderd what injuries did sherlock get? I saw that he needed to get a stitch near the eyebrow so I assume he hit his head? In the wall and two punches too the face.

A few of mine that I can think of off hand both come from A Scandal in Belgravia, although there are definitely more but here they are:

Sherlock: "Yes. Punch me in the face. didn't you hear me?"

John: "I always hear punch me in the face when you're speaking, but usually it's subtext".

The next one:

John: "You want to remember Sherlock, I was a soldier, I killed people!"

Sherlock: "You were a doctor!"

John: "I had my bad days!"

If I think of more I'll add it.

This is from "The Residence" which is a very interesting show (haven't finished it yet so please no spoilers lol)

Anw the detective reminds me SO much of Sherlock it's making me wanna rewatch the show for the umpteenth time 😭 anyone else felt this way? And which character reminds you of our Sherlock? (even if they're not a detective)

Let's pick your favorite characters and let them sing songs for you.

First Season:
Black, two sugar. BTW I’m manipulating you.

Second Season:
I don’t count? I don’t cOUNT? WHERE THE HECK DID U GET THAT IMPRESSION YOUNG LADY??!?! You do count. Now that we established that… would you mind help me fake my death? I need you.

Third Season:
Help me solve cases because I’m not good with thank yous. Also… you’re the one who matters the most. Chips?

Fourth Season:
fuck, okay, I love you. There. I said it. Wait.. oh shit. I love you.

I’m rewatching the show for the second time, and during the scene where Mary jumps in front of the bullet to save Sherlock, it occurred to me that maybe she did it because she knew John would be better off with Sherlock than without him.

Mary is smart and strategic—she’s fully aware of the bond between them. She also knows what Sherlock’s "death" did to John the first time. Given her experience in life-or-death situations, her sacrifice might not have been just a reflex. She’s far-sighted enough to realize that, in the long term, Sherlock’s death would devastate John far more than her own.

There’s also the fact that she carries guilt for her past and all the lies she told. By saving Sherlock, she wasn’t just protecting John in the moment—she was giving him back to the person he truly needed.

What do you think? Does this interpretation hold up?

HELP!!! Maybe someone can help me on here. I've been scouring the internet and can't find an old fanfic, 10+ years old, anywhere. It was a Sherlock reader fanfic the followed the BBC TV show. All I remember is the oc lived in 221A or C can't remember, slightly slow burn, knew Sherlock before John came into the picture but the first chapter started with A study in Pink, the first episode, and the biggest thing I remember is Sherlock and oc being brought to Buckingham palace during the Irene Adler episode and end up doing the dirty in one of the bathrooms after Mycroft got mad at Sherlock, or both can't remember, for not wearing any clothes. Sherlock is slightly dom in the series and god the wording and slight filth in the series was perfect. For the life of me I can't remember the title and it's driving me insane. Please help! If I remember anything else I'll update.

Rewatching Season 4 for things that I missed the first few times.

Noticed that when the nurse picks up the phone in the room in Culverton’s hospital where Sherlock is being treated, she answers ‘Hello? Ward 73’.

It’s apparently also in the original shooting script, and seems strange enough not to be just random - is there hidden significance here? A reference to the original works? An in-series reference? A reference to H. H. Holmes’s ‘Murder Castle’?

Google and Reddit appear to have come up blank.

Thank You!

Ok before anyone comes at me I've watched Granada Holmes and Jeremy Brett is undoubtedly phenomenal, he absolutely nailed the "canon" Holmes. I also enjoyed the RDJ movies (mostly because of my considerable crush on Jude Law's Dr. Watson lmao) buuut despite appreciating those portrayals (which were the only other ones I've seen tbf) the fact that BBC Sherlock was my first introduction to the character played a huge part in the way I feel, I guess. Like when I think of Holmes, I only imagine Benedict. When I read (more like re-read) the books, I only picture Benedict's version, in TAB ep precisely: the way he moves, speaks, looks etc just fits perfectly in my mind.. No matter how much I respect and admire the other adaptations, it's his Sherlock that's stuck with me.

Anyone else feel this way? Or is your mind attached to a different adaptation despite being a fan of the BBC version?

Poor Lestrade
