Just curious as to who you guys think is the worst villain across the whole series (excluding Eurus although personally I don't think she's that bad) because I feel like most of the villains don't get talked about much.

I got more than expected replies stating season 4 when I asked about favourites (which I believe to be the least popular among them all), so I’m curious about this one. I’ve also seen people disliking TBB, but I don’t have a problem with it. My subjective least favourite is less memorable IMO. Mine: TST, season 4.

I haven’t watched or read Sherlock Holmes yet, but I just bought the books and want to create a unique bookmark. Any ideas?

So in The Final Problem, when we get to the scene where Sherlock has to choose between Mycroft and John, he decides to bring the gun to his head. But before he does that, he seriously considers choosing Mycroft, and Eurus then pulls up a video of Moriarty saying something like "Holmes killing Holmes". She assumed this meant he would pick Mycroft, but we can also see that she didn't expect him to try and kill himself at all. Moriarty's mind works the same way as Sherlock's, and he never specifies which Holmes was killing which. Did he know Sherlock was going to do what he did?

Also, side note, did anybody notice how genuinely sad Eurus seemed when Sherlock was aiming at Mycroft? Like we're supposed to assume that when she isn't the little girl on the plane, she is this monster with no feelings, but she looks so wholeheartedly upset that her little brother is about to kill her other brother. Cool detail.

Throughout the series, it’s implied both Sherlock and Mycroft also have high linguistic intelligence, not only pure logic (first scene of S3E1). However, Sherlock’s only briefly seen speaking German and Serbian other than his native language, English. You could as well count ancient Chinese letters, but I’m not sure the show had a real basis for this, so I’m mainly how many/what modern languages Sherlock actually speaks. Is there anything confirmed that I’m missing, and, headcanons/assumptions?

So, I hadn't watched the show in almost 7 years after S4 aired. I was doing a rewatch, and i think Moriarty in Sherlock's mind during the Victorian episode says it all. "Of course none of it makes sense, it's not real. We are in your mind". I well never not be convinced that S4 was just a continuation of that nonsense but has gone deeper into him thinking in present tense instead.

All of the contradictions/inconsistencies in S4 never sat right with me D: I never got to discuss it online because i kind of gave up on the show after that. But ive enjoyed rewatching S1-3 and it reminded of all that happened and was never really concluded/made sense afterwards.

editing in** because i finished S3 ep 4 (Victorian episode) and how could we trust that he ever woke up?? Not after he "woke up" once in that hospital room with john, mycroft, and mary there but then he gets up and goes to Ricoletti's grave. That clearly never actually happened, because when he "truly wakes up" he is still on the plane. It's just possible he still never actually woke up and all of S4 was him going in too deep because of all of the drugs he took.

What happened to John and Mary's dog? Never seen nor mentioned again after John mentioned it to Mrs Hudson!

Headcanon: It was there in the background and ended up cared for largely by Mrs Hudson and stolen by Sherlock for scritches and adventures.

Was looking through an old Sherlock book, one with all the short stories and original illustrations in. Realised one looked very similar to Jude Law?? Maybe it’s just me. But I swear they look similar. Perfect casting who

Incredible delivery by Benedict. And kudos to all the camera crew for keeping up with him.

I thought I will find it in my AO3 history, but it wasn't there. Maybe it's not on AO3 at all.

Unfortunately extensive Google search didn't help.

Have you possibly seen this fanfic?

It's an AU where they are teenagers. John tried to commit suicide and was admitted to a mental health hospital. He had a roommate there - Sherlock. He was there because he refused food. Sherlock felt bored all the time and wanted to escape, but it was Mycroft who insisted on his treatment.

Feel free to remove this if it's not allowed - I just figured posting here would be more likely to help me find what I'm looking for (maybe someone else would recognise it.)

So there's a really catchy BBC Sherlock fan song I can't get out of my head, but haven't been able to find for years now. I have tried every single type of search I could think of. I just can't find it and I've officially given up. This is a reddit account I made for this purpose, with a random username (which is why it looks blank and has no info on it.)

Here's everything I can remember about the song.

1 - I first heard it in 2017-18 but I think it's a lot older than that. Probably from when the show was first popular.

2 - It was called Miss Me and was about Jim Moriarty (obviously lol.)

3 - I remember these lyrics: “Show off come and get it / if you think you can take it / gonna redefine what it means to be crazy” There was obviously more, but that's what I've got stuck in my head.

4 - I remember that the singers were three girls. At least one of them had glasses. Two or more of them had brown hair. I don't remember what they called themselves, but maybe it had 3 in the name. 3 Cs? 3 Cellos? 3...something. Maybe. I'm not 100% sure of this.

5 - The video thumbnail had a rubix cube or a similar cube in it.

In "A Study in Pink" Sherlock plays a psychological game with the murderer. I know it is not explained in the show whether he won or not, and that is the point, however I would like to know what other fans think. Was Sherlock intelligent enough to not be affected by the killer's psychological mind tricks, or would he have been outsmarted and poisoned?

If someone here does have an education in psychology, I would love to hear your professional opinion on both this question and the driver's games.

I'm just doing a series rewatch and noticed that when Sherlock is falling after being shot, the plant moves to the left as he falls - indicating that the room moves, not Sherlock.

It's insane to me that they would build an entire rotating room for one shot where he falls down instead of, well, falling down!

Plus it's all the more crazy when you think about other actors being anchored to the ground through their clothes, and Benedict Cumberbatch having to arch upwards (or be pulled) to defy gravity!

Am I being an idiot, or does this not just seem like a needlessly elaborate filming technique?!

Is there any website I can find to solve real or good made-up mystery, detective cases. It is better if it is giving the details and information they actually find also it is better be a free something.... I need something to do in my winter holidays

Just realized I’ve never posted a picture of my tattoos in this sub, and I’ve had them for over three years! I get lots of compliments for them! Although most people seem to thing they’re conected to ikea…

Honestly, I never know how to answer this question. I might just stick with the Reichenbach Fall, but S1 altogether is what got me in love. I also adore His Last Vow.

We're excited to share WhiteRoom, a project we're creating alongside some members of this community, where characters like Sherlock Holmes come to life to teach you the skills that make them unique.

We’d love to hear your thoughts!!

I am not a frequent Sherlock viewer so bare with me. I am looking for an episode from the series with sherlock holmes where a woman (I think Irene Adler is going to a place she has kept very secret but somehow sherlock gets there before her and just as she is about to swear sherlock interrupts her and says that children are nearby when he is sitting and playing chess with a child or something. Which episode is this?

Who gave the best / your favorite acting performance in Sherlock?

!When I first saw Eurus, I knew she reminded me of someone, but couldn't place whom. !<

!For anyone who's ever read "Jane Eyre", does it seem to anyone that Eurus' appearance and actions coordinate very closely with the first Mrs. R.? White gown or other clothing, wild black hair streaming down the back, throttles (in this case) husband and ultimately burns down the house? Come to think of it, she also attacks her brother and says she'll kill him.!<
