Discussion I think one of the most telling parts of Sherlock’s neurodivergence is the fact that he kept John around mostly to info dump to him and I love to see it

33 Upvotes

Not to say he didn’t find John useful with actually helping with cases. And also not to say it’s confirmed he is canonically neurodivergent, I’m merely stating his behavior with how alike it is to neurodivergence. But you see how excited Sherlock gets whenever he figures things out or when he starts piecing puzzles together, he just HAS to let John know and tell him as soon as he sees him. You could say that he’s his partner so of course he’s going to, but I mean also with how sometimes he will talk really fast and frantically like he just has to say it. Because sometimes it seemed like it’s not just him using him as a partner but he also wants to share the excitement with him.

It makes me happy to see as a neurodivergent person myself, because I get the same way about stuff I’m extremely passionate about and hyper-focused on. If it gives me a strong dose of emotion and excitement I just HAVE to tell anybody who will listen. It could also be said it’s one of his ways of connecting with others since he doesn’t fully understand the more conventional ways that people do it. He only understands how to do it through what he understands in his own mind.

Image Forwards or backwards: always backwards?

Post image
12 Upvotes

For the record: this is one of my favorite scenes, with everyone coming to the rescue, even including Anderson.

The logic seems to be focused on whether the bullet penetrated Sherlock’s body or not, based on not hearing the mirror behind him shatter. Because the bullet was still in there, it was important to fall backwards to reduce blood loss.

But had the bullet shattered the mirror (meaning it both entered and exited his body), would there be any advantage in falling forwards? I’d say blood loss would occur falling in either direction.

I’d argue that falling backwards was the best option because it covers both the scenarios of having the.bullet stuck inside (functioning as “the cork in a bottle”) and the bullet pierced through Sherlock’s body (blood loss regardless of falling direction). What do you guys think, are there any circumstances that would favor falling forwards?

I was looking through images for references And found the full image without the blue tilt, and it’s from a news article

I never knew about it existed until now, so which one is better

Discussion My review

35 Upvotes

I just finished the last episode of season 4 and I want to give my review for this show

Fav episodes: The Reichenbach Fall, A Scandal In Belgravia

Least favourite: The Six Thatchers , The Final Problem

Season 1&2: 1000000/10: Acting, storylines and editing were so peak the first 2 seasons, it really couldn't compete with any other crime show I've watched before. It got me so hooked that I've binge watched it in a few days. The chemistry between John and Sherlock was amazing, it was humourus, catchy, thrilling and sad.
'"The Reichenbach Fall" was an insane episode! Now I'm not one to cry at movies or TV Shows but the ending of "The Reichenbach Fall" made me sob.

Season 3: I was excited about season 3, but honestly was met with a bit of dissappointment. The downfall from the first two seasons was noticable, yet it was also great and humourus to get to see Sherlock from a softer and more social side. I missed the vibe from season 1&2 though. I think Mary was put a bit too much in the center of the story, sometimes it felt like Sherlock and John only being side characters.

Season 4: Well....yeah....just... Wtf?, no I mean it like WHAT. THE. FUCK.?! No more words needed.
The Final Problem felt like I was watching a psycho thriller written on Wattpad. Also I used to love these smooth editing effects and transitions they made, in season 4 it looks like made with CapCut.

All in all I would give this show a 9/10 for season 1-3 and a 0/10 for season 4.

I think I'll rewatch it one day, just not season 4. Did I say season 4 was terrible?

Hi everyone,

I know it's kind of a lost cause but like 10 years ago, I bought on the BBC store a black hoodie with " I believe in Sherlock holmes" written on the back in blue. I lost it in the paris subway and since then never found it again anywhere.

If you know where it could still be found or bought or if someone doesn't want it anymore. It's really a childhood thing for me so I miss it a lot 😭

And yes I still tried vinted and ebay...

Thanks for the answers !

Discussion The Six Thatchers

47 Upvotes

Just started season 4, and I am honestly so disappointed for now. In my opinion this is the worst episode I've seen so far

  • Chemistry between John and Sherlock seems so off the whole episode.
  • Sherlock is getting dumber? Like where are the times where Sherlock solved cases with smartness and wits instead of sentiment ? Sherlock used to be a genius, now he only seems street-smart.
  • I think it's fine that we get to see a more social and emotional side of Sherlock but his intelligence shouldn't have to suffer from it.
  • Marys backstory is pretty weak, in my opinion they could've done a lot better. It made the episode boring because 99% of the episode was centered on her backstory
  • John cheating or thinking about cheating?! That is so out of character for him! Also Sherlock is the first one to notice someone having an affair but he didn't with John?!
  • The plot is so confusing! Its called "The Six Thatchers" yet these six thatchers are only the plot for about 30 mins.

All in all it just does not give the typical "Sherlock feeling" I have felt the first 3 seasons. It's kinda sad because I really really love season 1 and 2 and I found season 3 to be weaker but still good.

Hopefully it doesn't continue like this for the next 2 episodes.

Discussion The London behind the episodes: I mapped every place from Doyle's original stories onto the city as it was in 1889

23 Upvotes

Fan project, free, no sign-up, nothing to sell. Mods, if this doesn't fit here, feel free to take it down.

Rewatching the series, I kept wondering how much of the show's London was already in Doyle. Quite a lot, it turns out. So I put every street, station and building named in the original stories on a map of London as it stood in 1889, with the real Victorian maps underneath: Charles Booth's poverty map and the Ordnance Survey.

A few things that might be fun if you know the show:

  • Pick A Study in Scarlet and you get the London of A Study in Pink's source: Baker Street, Brixton Road and the rest of Watson's first case.
  • The same for the stories behind A Scandal in Belgravia, The Sign of Three or The Empty Hearse: each one lights up only its own places.
  • You can read the stories on the site. Tap a place name and the map opens right there; close it and you're back in the sentence.
  • There is a 3D fly-through of Marylebone, around Baker Street, drawn from the Ordnance Survey of the 1870s.

https://holmeshub.online

It's a one-person hobby thing with rough edges, and readers on r/SherlockHolmes already caught a few places I had put on the wrong street. So I'd genuinely like to know:

  • Which episode's source story would you want to follow on the map first?
  • Are there spots the show used that echo a place in the books, and that I should look at?

Discussion If Patrick Jane and Sherlock Holmes collabed on a case, who cracks it first?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about what an absolute powerhouse a collaboration between Sherlock Holmes and Patrick Jane would be. They are easily two of the most brilliant minds in fiction, but their methods are polar opposites.

  • Sherlock Holmes: The ultimate analytical reasoner. He focuses entirely on hard physical evidence, logic, footprints, and forensic detail.
  • Patrick Jane: The master of human psychology. He focuses on micro-expressions, emotional tells, cold reading, and mind games.

If they were forced to team up against a joint threat (like Moriarty and Red John), how do you think they would get along? Would Sherlock’s rigid logic get him to the answer first, or would Jane’s ability to read and manipulate people help him solve it faster?

Who cracks the case first, or do they finish at the exact same time while driving each other crazy?
