For all German speaking folks out there, this is genius:

The content itself is genius, very severe information in itself but that aside, I had a really good laugh at how good they did an impression of our beloved BBC Sherlock series. The persons responsible must be huge Sherlock fans themselves.
I especially loved the scenes between Sherlock and Mycroft.

This sentence was sooo fitting, :D (I try to translate).
Sherlock: "Mycroft I would rather like to feel a 30mm bullet inside me than feel your empathy"

Hi Susi
I liked it as well but not as much as Infinity War. ;) I liked Thanos as a charakter very much.

I'm not really a Marvel fan and watched only half of all the Marvel films that are out there. But of course I watched Doctor Strange.

SPOILERS from now on.

Of course Dr Strange is one of my favs and I all my attention is on him whenever he appears.
How do you interpret his gesture with the one finger in the last battle? I read there are different interpretations out there. On the one hand I thought he meant with this gesture: THIS scenario is the ONE in which we are winning. On the other hand he made a face some minutes before or afterwards (I can't remember) where he looked totally surprised and a little scared just like he realized: Shit, something in this scenario went wrong.

What do you think?

Nice, I signed up as well. If it is in London, I doubt I will be able to go. Maybe as part of a spontaneous trip.

But I'm really curious what that can be? I read that some believe it to be a kind of escape room experience. Maybe thats true. You can get hints from people in the show (Sherlock, Mycroft, Lestrade...) via audio or video and it involves YOU, because you are the one to solve the puzzle to get out of the room.

Well, that's relieving!

I think Kittyhawk deduced this because for historical reasons in the UK surgeons are usually no doctors whereas all (or most) other physicians have a doctor's degree. However, I am not sure if one can conclude that Molly must be a surgeon just because she is not called Dr Hooper. 

 

Ok, thanks, I agree. But as you said, that doesn't mean that she is a surgeon and not a pathologist. And Kittyhawk wrote that she must be a surgeon and not another medical specialty. I found that very irritating.

I want to make clear that this doctor vs surgeon is VERY outdated. I can't believe that anyone would make conclusions from that today. This comes from medival times! In medival times, you could say that a barber did a surgeons job, and then there were the "real doctors" who would nowadays be considered as a specialist in the broad field of internal medicine.

I would say since approx. 100 years ago both "professions" are first and foremost physicians. Today it doesn't make sense whatsoever to call people surgeon OR doctor. What would you call a cardiologist, or even a psychiatrist, without a doctor's degree for example? Surely not a surgeon.

Again, to make it clear: Anyone who finishes medical school is a physician. If you additionally get a doctoral degree in the medical field, you can call yourself "doctor", it doesn't matter if you are a radiologist, GP, surgeon, paediatrician, psychiatrist, ophtalmologist,...

If we agree that Molly is a physician, I do wonder however if she is a pathologist or a forensic pathologist. And to begin with, if there is a difference at all between those specialties in the UK. I can only speak for Germany, but there is a huge difference between a pathologst and a forensic pathologist=autopist=coronist. They require completely different specialisation and they don't do the same work afterwards.
I'm not sure which one Molly is, maybe because there is no difference in the UK? In TBB she has access to (and eve

That looks almost like my profile picture.

I have a question: Is this the only way to post pictures in this forum? By uploading it to another website and then using the link??

I would like to be able to share pictures directly from my hard drive with you. It would be a) much easier/quicker b) you wouldn't need a third party involved. Who k ows what they do with this stuff and how long the link will work...

omg. OMG.
I can't believe how talented that person must be! What a great edit.

A co-worker of mine nearly gave me a heart attack today: she burst in saying: "Did you know there is a new season of Sherlock that just came out?"

WHAT???

Turns out, she was refering to a new season being released IN FRENCH (the fourth).

You can imagine how disapointed I felt!
 

Oh I'm sorry for you!
And the poor French Shwelock fans... apparwntly they had to wait a year since the english release??? And I thought we German speaking people had unbearable bad luck. The German dub came out last June...

BUT, concerning series 5, listen what I just came across. I was searching for the tv schedule for this evening and I thought "oh look there is A Scndal in Belgravia this evening. Clicked on the description to read their review. I sometimes do that fir fun, because I find it interesting what official sites say about Sheelock episodes.
And principally the last few lines said that Benedict and Martin have sigened for series 5, but it is uncertain when it will air and that Moffat and Gatiss are planning Dracula series first.

I mean this sounds very promising, right? And the last thing I knew is that Ben and Martin haven't signed for series 5 because it is not sure whether there will be one. Or have I missed something, that they actually had signed "just in case"? This website is making it sound like there will be a series 5. It is a site I wouldn't trust to have access to the latest international news, but all the other stuff in this small article matches what we have heard (Dracula series, beginning of series 5 unknown...)

Here is the last bit in German, I underlined the important last bit. (=Cumberbatch and Freeman have signed for series 5. However, it is written in the stars when they will start filming. Sherlock creators Moffat and Mark Gatiss are planning a Dracula series first.)
[...] Freche Dialoge (Adler: „Sieh einer an, diese Wangenknochen. Da könnt ich mich ja schneiden, wenn ich dieses Gesicht schlage“) und raffinierter Plot ma

Yes, but like magnets they attract each other when they are apart.
Their lives being forever intertwined is a  nice expression as well, besley. ;)

Btw in my had canon, Jihn lives again in 221B by the end of series 4. That was my intuition right after/while the first viewing. And it still is. Although it is thinkable for ma as well that he lives somewhere else in a flat with Rosie after a lot of people saw it as the more plausible solution.

It's an obvious comparison to make, but what I think John means is "I am moving on with my life". As in, not being stuck in limbo due to grief without going anywhere or doing anything.

I agree. "Moving on" can mean a lot of things and not necessarily in a romantic or platonic way.

But ,of course, I do see why it easily could be interpreted that way, I think these things concerning John's marriage (changes for Sherlock, Sherlock's role and importance in John's life) are balancing on tip-toes between friendship and romance in the way it is written and done.

I love this balancing in the show. Although I for myself see more the friendship aspect.
