Not everyone - people outside of his little circle don't like him (Anderson originally, Donovan, the guy he knew from university in the Blind Banker etc). His inner circle understand him - they've gone from putting up with him because they respect his skills to getting to know him and knowing that's just who he is and they've been able to see his finer qualities because they've hung on in there and spent time with him.

Maybe the baby isn't John's!

That 'Liar' part has to be meaningful.

For somebody who has seen all three episodes and has shown restraint up to now - you are bordering on giving spoilers. Please refrain.

It'll be interesting if Dr Who is involved in any mystery scenario, there'll be a vein-popping extravaganza on here about how Moffat has created a Sherlock in a blue box!

Sherlock in a blue box!
The Doctor in a deerstalker hat!

Waaaaaah! Boooooo! <soils self in fury> Baaaaa! Grrrr!

The people that matter at the BBC won't even know this forum exists let alone read it.”

Who's being delusional and making things up now?

I was left confused by the bank robberies. Was it just to set up the joke about it being an emergency so that LeStrade had to rush round to Baker Street, when he was finally going to catch them, and someone else DID arrest them, or are they still free. I don't think it was made clear.

Yes he's far too emotional for me.

There's always a need to make the different ordinary. They did it with Spock, making him more human when the point was that people were attracted to the fact he wasn't.

Not intended, obviously. I was merely referencing a post a few higher up in the thread which referenced the word cloud. It's been the subject of article on radiotimes.com and other outlets too. But I'll keep quiet!

It started off like that, but now hot bridesmaids flirt with him and mothers thank him for helping their children and everyone wants to impress him. It's like two different characters.

I think there are clues there that are staring us in the face.

IMHO.

And I haven't seen all three episodes.

I could very well be wrong.

Been done, a Tom Baker story was effectively Sherlock Holmes, as is a certain Lizard Lady Detective of Moffats acquaintance.

I hope you're right, if not you should be taking over as writer.

OK yes but your winkies with reference to Mary are not subtle.

Heheh.

No. I think it's probably just me getting carried away again. You should see some of the things I've said on here after 'The Fall' episode! Really smiley: lol.

I love Sherlock. Can't help it.

Actually I did have a moment where I thought they are just re-using themes. The pregnancy, the wedding all reminded me of the Ponds. Watson is Rory in disguise! Am I wrong ????

"Week in week out"? You mean three episodes every two years...
