odd things my brain noticed

[Ideduce]

Dimmock - DIDN'T shake Sheetrock's hand later on anyone else in Moriarty's group that did shake his hand got shot..... Coincidence?

 

In the last episode in series 2 watch the man that seems be with Sally and Anderson. Watch how he takes an object from the crime scene. Sherlock seems to glance at it (it's when he's investigating the home where the children got kidnapped from) it's a black small box like object. As that man comes out of the house he pockets that same object. Why? What it is? Does this man work for Moriarty or Mycroft? He seems to resemble the man who worked at the bank. When Sherlock pops his head up he can be seen there too. I could be wrong into thinking that's the same person though.

I must say, even though we've seen "The Reichenbach Fall" dozens of times, I've never noticed that! I'll watch for it next time.

Are you talking about Sherlock's obnoxious old classmate Sebastian from the Shad Sanderson Bank in "The Blind Banker" (series 1, episode 2)?

[Ideduce]

No I mean Dimmock another investigator that you see I believe also in the same episode. But yeah the fact that guy's name was Sebastian through me off too I was like WHAT. But then Sherlock said he knew him. IN the canon there was a person that Sherlock regarded in collage he had a very simple common name which is why I don't remember it off hand. I always figured that guy represented Anderson. He was basically Sherlock's John in collage but dabbed in what we would call now forensics so the character in the book was ahead of his time which is why he got along with Holmes in canon I believe.

 

When Dimmock shows up (he does it more then once)

 

When they are checking out the 'suicide' of the lefty in blind banker Sherlock goes to shake his hand and he just looks at him and Sherlock loses his smile after he's refused and there's an awkward pause before he alows him reluctently on the case. Sherlock has to explain why it wasn't a suicide to him and why it was a murder due to the man being left handed and he shot himself on the right which doesn't make any sense which causes Dimmock to shut up for a little while.

on the space between one and two are two differnt people sorry about that I wasn't clear.

 

He's tall brown hair but it seems to be a redish brown. Is the man in question who is with Anderson and Sally in season 2 ep 3. Instead of watching Sherlock watch him as he hides things in his pockets in my opinion he's also the one that begged the question if they can trust Sherlock and Sally brought it it. Note how Anderson didn't bring it up but he says they shouldn't rule it out. Anderson is doing his job. Sally is just going off an idea planted in her head or more so reinforced by this mystery man in my oppinion.

Do you think Sherlock is autistic?

[chironsgirl]

This Sherlock isn't really autistic. He just grew up in an odd family and had to make some self protective personality adjustments.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Actually there are some Sherlockian scholars who do think that Sherlock Holmes did have some sort of degree of asperger's as he is described by Sir Conan Doyle. His frenetic energy, he sudden and very brief bursts of laughter mentioned in the canon. The way he never seemed to set in a chair properly. While cocaine and other opiates where not seen as social evils back then, it is common for those coping with asperger's to turn to drugs to help quiet their frenetic brain activity.

 

Yes, he did seem to have had a strained family relationship. Mother and father never mentioned at all. Holmes and Watson and been in association with each other for several years before Watson ever learned of Mycroft.

... which is a type of autism. Once I heard that about Conan Doyle's Holmes, Sherlock made a lot more sense to me. He simply doesn't notice or understand the usual social cues. Of course, this characteristic could also be due to upbringing -- or (my suspicion) reinforced by upbringing.

That's the canon Holmes? Well, Sherlock has at least mentioned "Mummy" once! And John met Mycroft just the day after he met Sherlock. Maybe there's some hope for them, after all.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

In the canon, Watson said he come to believe that Holmes was an orphan as he never mentioned his parents. Watson was not introduced to Mycroft until the "Adventure of the Greek Interpreter." Watson meets Sherlock Holmes at St. Bart's in 1881. The meeting with Mycroft doesn't take place until 1888.
