It was The Great Game.

No D I'm afraid!

I always thought the thing that Sherlock had done that was out of character was asking for help - Molly's. But who knows!

Okay. In that case I'll have a go :-) _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _'_ / _ _ _ _, / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _.

Isn't it someone's turn to post one?

I thought exactly the same thing - she brought nibbles round when he was entertaining Sarah, she was there at Christmas when he was dating the 'boring teacher'... I always assumed she understood Sherlock and John's relationship was platonic. Maybe she thought all the women was John's attempt at denial...?!

Oh, this game looks like fun! I've just been reading a few pages and trying to solve some - you guys have been very busy with almost 70 pages! :-)

Sherlock, with John second. Then... ah, it gets a bit difficult to put the rest in order! Although Sally Donovan is DEFINITELY last.

Wow, that is a hard question to answer! Because there are SO MANY amazing moments... Okay, off the top of my head (I'll probably think of lots more after I've posted this. And these aren't in chronological order, they're just as I think of them): - The reveal of the password as SHER - that whole scene with Sherlock and Irene and his speech about love - "You, with your cheekbones and turning your coat collar up so you look cool" - When Sherlock made John a coffee and put the sugar in to try and drug him - the look on Sherlock's face when John said he didn't take sugar, and the way John then (unaware he was trying to experiment on him, and thinking he was just trying to do something nice) said "it's good" and drank it anyway - "PINK!" - "The flirting's over now Sherlock, Daddy's had enough now!" - Christmas at 221B - the whole scene, but especially Sherlock and Molly - Sherlock's "goodbye John" from the roof. Sob. - Sherlock and John giggling as Sherlock sits there in his sheet at Buckingham Palace. Love love LOVE Benedict's laugh - "I don't have friends. I've just got one." - Sherlock and John's - "you're doing a we-both-know-what's-really-going-on-here face" conversation - 'Sinnerman' playing in The Reichenbach Fall Aaaaand pretty much every scene there ever was.

Hi everyone! I'm Gemma, I'm from the UK and I'm new to the Sherlock forum but definitely not new to Sherlock. I fell in love with the show about 30 seconds into A Study in Pink, and at the end of the episode I remember saying to my family something along the lines of, "I can't remember when I last enjoyed a TV programme that much." For me it is just the best thing on TV for so many reasons - the writing, the casting, the performances, the direction - every second is sheer perfection and I'm so glad the wait for series 3 is finally over! I'm not quite sure why it's taken me so long to search for and join a Sherlock forum (especially since I've spent the last two years suffering through the hiatus alone, not knowing anyone in real life who's as much of a Sherlock fan as me!) but I finally have, and I'm looking forward to getting to know and chatting with some other Sherlock fans out there :-)

We've all been waiting for this episode for a LONG time and for me it didn't disappoint! Every second was fantastic but real highlights for me were: -Sherlock's coat-hair-kiss movement with Molly. *swoon* Loo is one lucky lady!! -Anderson saying "I believe in Sherlock Holmes!" Aww. -"Oh yes, we meet up every Friday for fish and chips." Lol - love Mycroft. -Sherlock putting his coat back on. In fact, every coat scene. There was a lot of good coat action. -Sherlock gazing out over London - it reminded me of him looking out across Dartmoor. Beautifully shot. -Sherlock endeavouring to surprise John. That whole scene was brilliant, and completely unlike any reunion between them I'd imagined. -"Just the two of us against the rest of the world." -"I like him." And I like Mary. Didn't expect to, which was interesting. -Sherlock and Lestrade's man hug, even after he called him Graham. Brilliant. -Moriarty making a reappearance! -"I don't think we should wear hats." I got goosebumps when the news broke and everyone started getting messages about Sherlock being alive! -"I don't shave for Sherlock Holmes." -Sherlock and Mycroft playing Operation. Utter genius. And the whole conversation that followed. Sheer brilliance. -"What did he say?" "He said f..." "Cough." Brilliant. -Cutting between scenes of Sherlock with his clients and John with his patients. -"Did you get him off a murder charge?" "No, I helped him put up some shelves." Just brilliant. The whole conversation that followed between Sherlock and Molly was utter perfection, especially the smile he gave her. Wonderful stuff. -Sherlock saying "Mary?" Don't ask me why - I just loved it. -Sherlock battling the flames to save John. Obviously. -Sherlock's parents - well done Mr and Mrs Cumberbatch (and thank you for bringing those cheekbones into the world). I like that they're not what you'd expect, but they don't really seem the type to call their children Mycroft and Sherlock. Or is that just me? -The way Sherlock shone his light at John and said "and a soldier!" Even in difficult, emotional or dramatic times there are still splashes of humour that work so well, and seeing the playfulness between them again was a joy. -"Oh, please. Killing me - that's so two years ago." Love it. -Sherlock not saying anything to Molly about Tom, but just shaking his hand. Makes me love him even more! -The return of the hat. Ah, the hat. The hat only Benedict Cumbebatch can make look sexy. All in all - a fabulous episode. Might have to watch it for the fourth time tonight. :-D
