BTW, about "stunning"... 


Perfect Bond?

I doubt, he could be influential enough, to stop his parents from visiting Eurus - except they were already willing to do it because their own choice, and searched for excuse. And - when he was ready to feign Eurus'es death, they did not see her already for long time. I guess, they preferred to take care of Sherlock.

BTW I have a theory (again!). I thought a bit about it, and I imagine, before the murder Eurus was Mycroft's favorite sibling, not Sherlock. She was a year younger, but much more brilliant, and simply interesting (even, if bothering). And Eurus felt the same towards Mycroft - he had already some education, and was brilliant too. They understood each other. That's why Sherlock's needed to make friends with Victor ;>

I would say: "that side of communication with other people" ;] 

I see, I need to explain my point... There are things, like getting married, or passing exams, when something must really happen, to make it valid. (You are not married, until both sides say "yes". Your intentions, feelings, knowledge, can't help - you must not skip this one, most important part of ceremony, or nothing happened.) I see the apology the same way, that's why i insisted, John should really say his "I am sorry". 
And - Sherlock in TEH expressed his regret (and it didn't help), but John never even tried. 
Sherlock forgave him, but it looks, like he is now the more sensitive man, who can better understand other people... A bit strange, isn't it? ;]

Possibly, but I honestly don't think there would have been that level of intrigue.

You are right, I started to create the conspiracy theory ;[
That's because they were so nice, when they were shown in the series. And suddenly we are to work out, they left their child in someone's else hands, and forgot? I don't like it.

The flashback shows all three children sitting at the table as Eurus sings her song, so I think Mycroft was there at the time. Not sure why he didn't help Sherlock solve the puzzle. Maybe he didn't believe a little girl was capable of murder?

I imagine, he was earlier home, or he used to come home during vacation - he has some memories about it. But nor Sherlock, either Mycroft, say any word, he was home in the most important time. 
And I guess, if he was there, Eurus wouldn't feel so alone, and she woudln't kill.

Uncle Rudy - OK, but Mycroft?

Certainly, Mycrot was very strong, but it looks, like his parents were able to live normally after some time. Why they never tried and regained the control on Eurus'es live?

...And to come back to the interesting subject...



Turquoise?

The rings are present, and not two, but three - only not light and dark colors, like green and brown, just dark ones. 
However, it doesn't really matter - in normal light it is simply slightly transparent black... I asked only out of curiosity.

Edit: But there is no brown... Rather very, very dark greenish, and very, very dark greyish black ;]
No chance to make a photo with normal camera.
