And Maaaaaary
Ohmystars I love her, she is amazing and fantastic and smart and so good for John. (She's actually played by Martin Freeman's real-life partner, just like Sherlock's parents were played by Benedict Cumberbatch's parents
)
Talking of John, I was hell surprised he didn't pull out the big swear guns and start ranting at Sherlock with looooooooooots of effings XD
How Sherlock survived? One word: Khan. *headcanon acquired!*
And jeez
GET A GRIP, ANDERSON!
And references to the books made me squee
Like the bit with the old guy and the porno mags? That was originally from Return, where Holmes disguised himself as an old bookseller guy (with books with those titles). But different result XD
And the bit where the woman's penpal stopped emailing? A Case of Identity, from Adventures. Eeeeeee XD
I have been reading the books (y'know, this probably doesn't need to go in the spoiler thing any more...) while waiting for Sherlock to come out, and there is clear evidence of Conan Doyle cutting corners XD
The start of The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, in His Last Bow, and the start of The Resident Patient, in Memoirs, are just about word for word the same XD Well done XD
