Gee, I thought a line like that would be instantly recognized on a Sherlock fandom discussion forum, but obviously my detective skills need some work too. ;)
But really, it just seemed like regular speech.
WHY??? He's not my favorite avenger and his movie is dull but I still like his character. #wearesoofftopic #butwhocares #wearetheonlyonesonhere
Black Panther beats him up just about every time they fight. Black Panther is better. #theguyisimpervioustomagicwhichcankillsupermaneven#theblackpantherisawesome
You agree! #hashtagsareawesomefun :P #thorismyfav #unlesslokicounts
You know, by the end of the Thor movie, I was rooting for Loki. I mean, yes, he's evil, but his father drove him to that point. And is he really as evil as everyone thinks?
A friend once told me that Sherlock Holmes was the last nerd to get a girl. ((I know its random, but I thought that I should say something Holmes related))
IKR?! Loki totally stole the show. Loki is definitely evil--yes, he was terribly mistreated but the difference between a hero and a villain is how they respond when people wrong them. Heroes rise from the ashes, villains create ashes. Loki responded poorly. But to quote Tom Hiddleston he's not "past the point of no return." There is hope of redemption for him and oh, do I hope he finds it! (I think Thor and Loki would make an awesome team.)
Your friend must have a dismal outlook on life since Sherlock Holmes never got a girl.
They may not have married, but it was obvious that they wanted to, and that they were both aware of it
Oh please...And I'm the girl here, remember, and even I'm saying #noteverythinghastoberomantic
He admired her wit, her cleverness. He respected her. #thatsstillabigdeal
I agree that not everything has to be romantic. But I still think that it was obvious.
Book. However, its universal. Sherlock gets Adler as Spiderman gets mary-jane
Grin on the Spider-Man and Mary-Jane. Go reread A Scandal in Bohemia and we won't have to argue the point anymore. Just the first page should suffice. Watson is quite unambiguous. The movie is debatable but the book is not.
Not surprising that Sherlock fails to adhere to our universal expectations.
I read it. Twice. But Watson says himself in other stories that he doesn't always write everything that happens
Yeah...but he made pretty clear what didn't happen. #itsok #reallyitis #dontreadintoitwhatsjustnotthere
Fine. You can go on thinking in the box, thinking that gray is black, and that all UFO's are weather balloons. Me, I go out the box, see Greg as a true color, and keep looking out for the return of the Greys. XD
Not at all, I love nuance. (Which I think BBC brought masterfully to the table.) But I'm not the turn-the-box-inside-out kind of gal, trying to make black into white. #agreetodisagree #maybeitsbecauseilovemolly And no, I think that some UFOs are inflated trash bags. :P in case you're wondering #ibelieveinnessie #skepticalaboutbigfoot #butmokelembembeisdefinatelylegit
Did I mention I believe fire-breathing dragons were real and that some dragons may still be alive today? #iusedtowanttobeacryptozologistwhenigrewup
Why aren't you? I'm watching the Baskerville episode. Its so funny watching Watson getting so close to peeing his pants :-)
The tree-clapping Bigfoot watchers running around in the swamps gave Cryptozoology a bad name. Nobody hires them anymore. :PThe Hound of the Baskervilles has to be one of the best episodes. Love every single minute of it to death.
I like it, too. Its ranked number three in my top five favorites.
Top five favorites? *smug grin* Of Sherlock? Are you counting any new episodes in that count or is that five out of the six pre-hiatus episodes? Rank them.
1. A Study in pink 2. A scandal in Bohemia 3. The hound of Baskerville's 4. The final problem 5. I can't think of the name. It was the first Moriarty one

1. A Study in pink (you got that one right)
2. It is called 'A Scandal in Belgravia, (A Scandal in Bohemia is the book)
3. Is called 'The Hounds of Baskerville'
4. Again you are writing the book title, the episode is called 'The Reichenbach Fall' (a reference to the book 'the final problem' where Holmes and Moriaty fell into their deaths from the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland)
5. It is called 'The Great Game'
Sorry for correcting you.
...And that was the last episode in season three *screaming frustrated*
How did you like them Alexander (without spoiling if possible)? I've heard nothing but good things abt them so far.
Where do i begin?Basically a very good season. None of the episodes were boring, and all of them were special in their own way;
The Empty Hearse was the most illuminative,
The Sign of Three was the most funny,
And His Last Vow was the most thrilling.
His Last Vow specific: Great performance of all of the actors, interesting and unpredictable twist in the story. And the cliffhanger *gasp*, i don't think i can describe it with... words.
I don't know how mutch you have seen of season three, Emily, but you can look forward to the rest of it.
6 stars (of 5)
Thanks Alexander! I am sooooo looking forward to seeing them here soon. Has anyone here seen the mini-episode "Many Happy Returns" (I think that's what it was called) that was put out a month ago. I only just saw it. Gosh, that was fun. But what I'm wondering is why Anderson is the one insisting Sherlock is alive?? Why him? Why would he care? What's in it for him? There's a backstory here, I just know it.
I was just as confused as you seem to be when I watched the mini-episode. Why Anderson? Thought he hated Sherlock ETC.All those questions will be answered in 'The Empty Hearse'
If you don't want to know it now, stop reading this.
If you want to know it:
There is 2 primary reasons:
1st: Anderson has bad conscience, because he (and Sally Donovan) was those who started doubting Sherlock, which in the end made him "kill" himself.
2nd: I will not tell that one.
Sorry if i am spoiling anything.
Ok, that's no more than I was guessing already, thanks. Glad to hear it's not a rabbit trail and that it is actually brought out in the series.

I can't wait to hear what adventures they choose to adapt! Have any titles or hints been announced yet? (I will FINALLY get to see "The Empty Hearse" tomorrow night on PBS).
Please tell me we're all clear to discuss spoilers from "The Empty Hearse".
I saw it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its supercalifragileisticexpialydocious!
So are we free to discuss spoilers now??? *about to burst at the seams*
I guess that we can discuss "The Empty Hearse" by now, Emily. If someone havn't watched it, they shuldn't even read this discussion at all.What do you think about that episode? *listening carefully (or reading, but you know what I mean)*
