           SHERLOCK: And you have to wear the outfit.
           ARCHIE (instantly): No.
           SHERLOCK: You really do have to wear the outfit.
           ARCHIE (instantly): What for?

[sherlockandjohn]

Love that moment at the end of ASiP!! It's magical.

[T.o.b.y]

Oooh, this is fun. I like stuff like this. Must be my inner teenager...

 

Okay, here it goes. I am sure I won't be able to limit myself to one answer a question...

 

1. Favorite episode: The Great Game, always and forever

2. Favorite male character: Sherlock!

3. Favorite female character: Molly Hooper

4. Least favorite character: Bill Wiggins. Because he's just superfluous and annoying. Magnussen is the most hateful, of course, but at least he serves a purpose for the plot.

5. Favorite quote: "This hospital’s full of people dying, Doctor. Why don’t you go and cry by their bedsides and see what good it does them?"

6. What Sherlock taught you: That you can make yourself practically invincible if you manage to stay calm no matter what

7. What Watson taught you: That there's a good side to life on the battlefield

8. Favorite relationship: Sherlock and John, of course

9. Least favorite relationship: John and Mary, at the end of His Last Vow. Generally, I love them together, and they definitely have this "meant to be" quality, but that "I don't care who you really are, I just want the wife you were supposed to be" nonsense just really rubbed me the wrong way.

10. Favorite actor: Benedict Cumberbatch

11. Favorite actress: Louise Brealey

12. Favorite solved case: "The Flight of the Dead"

13. Favorite unsolved case: "The Reichenbach Fall" (seriously, I consider that one unsolved, from an audience's perspective, at least)

14. The sassiest character: What does "sassy" mean exactly? Don't know.

15. Favorite location: the living room at 221B

16. Favorite villain: Moriarty

17. Character most like yourself: Molly Hooper

18. Character you'd like to date: Hmmm... well, not really Sherlock. I mean, yeah, he's wonderful and amazing and beautiful, but I wouldn't want to date him any more than I would crawl into the tiger pit at the zoo. An evening with Irene would be fun, I guess, bur only if she left her whip and drugs at home, and I suppose she'd be every bit as dangerous as Sherlock. No, no, let them date each other. You know, I'm going to say Molly. Yes, Molly Hooper. I'd just hang around her work place at Bart's and help her with the corpses and then we'd go for a walk in London at night and sigh over Sherlock together. And I'd finally find out what the heck she does in her spare time and what her flat looks like.

19. Most relatable character: Molly

20. Most underrated character: Lestrade

21. Most overrated character: Mycroft

22. Most annoying character: Bill Wiggins

23. Favorite wardrobe accessory: The Coat!

24. Favorite casting decision: Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock (have to say, though, that all the casting is the work of a genius)

25. Favorite Sherlock habit: walking over the table

26. Favorite Sherlock deduction: the lady in pink

27. Most frustrating moment: when Sherlock tells Anderson how he "did it". I mean, you finally think you're going to get the answers, and instead end up feeling, now it all makes even less sense than before!

28. Favorite plot twist: Oh god. This is hard. I think "There is no key, doofus!"

29. Favorite prop: I think John's gun. Just because it's been at the center of so many crucial scenes.

30. Most memorable moment: The Fall

[jesskayding]

.sassy

possessing the attitude of someone endowed with an ungodly amount of cool.

 

People call me sassy Toby.

 

It's someone with a lot of conviction in their attitude. Hands on the hips, finger snapping, finger/hand waving, head held high, saucy comments, lips puckered, neck wiggling, lots of attitude. - that's why I chose Mycroft.

 

Sherlock & Irene are pretty sassy. Mary & Sally Donavon could be considered sassy as well.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hmm, not exactly my definition.  Real close, but....

 

Lemme see -- I'd say more like cheerfully disrespectful of authority, plus lively and cute.

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I'm gonna change one of my answers --

 

26. Favorite Sherlock deduction:

 

SHERLOCK: No, Sarah was the doctor; and then there was the one with the spots; and then the one with the nose; and then ... who was after the boring teacher?
JEANETTE: Nobody.
SHERLOCK: Jeanette!

 

He's so proud of himself there!  (Ariane DeVere says he "smiles falsely," but I disagree.)

 

[Alex the Dabbler]

1. Favorite episode:  The Sign of Three
2. Favorite male character:  Sherlock
3. Favorite female character:  Mary Morstan
4. Least favorite character:  Magnussen
5. Favorite quote:  "SHERLOCK: Mary, when I say you deserve this man, it is the highest compliment of which I am capable. John, you have endured war, and injury, and tragic loss ... (he leans closer to John) ... so sorry again about that last one ... (he straightens up again) ... so know this: today you sit between the woman you have made your wife and the man you have saved – in short, the two people who love you most in all this world. And I know I speak for Mary as well when I say we will never let you down, and we have a lifetime ahead to prove that.
(Mrs Hudson whimpers and holds a tissue to her nose. Molly wipes tears from her eyes with her serviette. Other guests – even some of the men – sniffle. John turns to Mary and whispers to her.)
JOHN: If I try and hug him, stop me.
MARY: Certainly not. "

SHERLOCK: Jeanette!
27. Most frustrating moment:  When Sherlock shoots Magnussen instead of Steven Moffat

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hey, you cribbed a bunch of those off of me! 

 

[T.o.b.y]

Well, Carol, maybe it's just a case of "great minds think alike"...

[Bendydoodle Cantaloupe]

Mimicry is the highest flattery

[jesskayding]

Hey, you cribbed a bunch of those off of me!

 

 

I'd be more concerned about character most want to date on Alex's list. A woman who likes to get beaten for sexual pleasure.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Well, Alex claims that he just thinks she's hot. 

 

[T.o.b.y]

I'm beginning to wonder whether I shouldn't have put Sherlock where it says "most relatable character". Seriously, I think in spite of his "otherwordliness" and unique hero traits, he's surprisingly easy to empathize with. Easier, for me at least, than John, I have to say. For example, when he gets irritated by other people talking or their sheer presence... oh, I do wish I could make them shut up and leave like him. Or Sherlock frantically searching the flat for his cigarettes, after he himself has gone to great lengths to make sure he won't be able to buy any... that could be me with my sweets... Or his nervous breakdown in The Hounds of Baskerville... Or when he leaves the wedding or... lots of things. He's very, very human in a lot of ways. And I love how on the one hand, he can stay cool in almost any dangerous situation (that's not very relatable, but certainly admirable), but on the other, he's very high strung. His calm probably did not come naturally, he's put effort into being that way. Which gives people like me hope, you know. In a way. Even though that is probably just as ludicrous as saying, well, Peter Parker was a loser like me, but then a spider bit him and he became a super hero, so there's hope for me as well as soon as I can get my hands on some radioactive mutant animal...

[jesskayding]

So it seems you did make the right choice with Sherlock. Why are you second guessing it?

[T.o.b.y]

So it seems you did make the right choice with Sherlock. Why are you second guessing it?

 

Because I answered Molly to that question. Who is very relatable, too, but it just occurred to me that Sherlock, in his own special way, is even more so.

[jesskayding]

Oh. Sorry I missunderstood.

[Arcadia]

I'm getting dizzy.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

1.  The Reichenbach Fall through His Last Vow (I can’t pick just one)

7. Friendship despite the quirks

8. Sherlock & John

9. Anderson & Donovan

15.   221B Baker Street

16.   Moriarty

23.   Sherlock’s whole outfit & that purple/aubergine shirt

25.   His mannerisms-The way he moves when searching the dust in Reichenbach, walks across the table to stand on the sofa even when his parents are still sitting on it, the body movements in part 2 of his best man speech, his hand positions for thinking, his winks & smiles.

26.   The Great Game-The Lost Vermeer. I love Sherlock's expression in it.

27.   Sherlock not knowing that Magnussen’s vaults were all in his head

28.   “Miss Me?”

29.   Can we put the whole of the flat?  I like so much of it and what it contains.

30.   Sherlock’s scene with Moriarty leading up to & including the jump, plus the speculation scenes on how Sherlock survived in the next episode.
