I love the writing.  To me, that's what makes it Sherlock Holmes...it's clever, funny, thrilling, and the characters fit together perfectly.  Personally, I hear a lot about "oh Moffatt screwed that up", but I don't see anything like that at all.  The clues are there, and they work out beautifully almost every time.  The only exception was the end of TBB...it was just ridiculous.  Everything else, though, is superb.

SOOOOO many things. Really hard to pinpoint ONE best thing about Sherlock. If I had to though...I'd say the writing.

I'll always remember the first time I watched Reichenbach. I wasn't sat there crying or thinking "how the heck did he fake it"...that all came later...I was sat there thinking "this is the cleverest, most wonderfully constructed, beautifully written piece of television I have ever seen on British TV."

These pretty much.  I was looking at SiB(For the umpteenth time) the other day and took a particular interest in the complexity, execution, and overall original style in which the script was written.

Honestly one of the best written tv series of all time.
 

 Both adaptions are what ACD originally meant for her to be, and that is an equal for Sherlock in the form of a woman.  Whether or not a thief or a dominatrix, as long as she's someone that serves as a challenge to Holmes, she's the character Conan Doyle created.

Only 4 hours away.  Thanks for this, we usually don't get any events over here.

What would your 3 adapted episodes be?

Mine would be:

Red-Headed League - Just imagine this story "Moffatised."

Musgrave Ritual - This story expanded on could be really great.

Silver Blaze - A fun story like this would make for a fun episode.

Hmm... I admit it's a tough desicion between Rumpelstiltskin and Moriarty. But I like Rumpel better as a reformed Anti-Hero, whereas dear Jim's as delightfully psychotic as it gets, so Moriarty it is.

(dude, someone needs to write a fanfiction where those two meet. I wonder who would win?)

For me it was a tough decision between Moriarty and Spo....  i mean Dr. Thredson.

1). The Sign of Four - The Sign of Forty

"Shut up.""I didn't say anything""You're thinking; it's annoying". love that part. I'm always wanting to say that in really akward conversations, just to get everyone else annoyed....my sis would kill me though. 

What episode was that again?  Its on the tip of my tongue but I cant remember.

.

There's lots of Moftiss ideas in there and a vast amount of cherry-picking of nods to the canon as well. Eg Scandal in Belgravia there is a mention by the equerry of the client being 'Illustrious' and Sherlock goes to Buckingham palace wearing a white sheet - In the canon story The Illustrious Client it begins with Holmes and Watson in a Turkish Baths sitting side by side both wearing white sheets

Good Eye!  I would've never caught that.

Quick Question, when the 3 words were announced for Series 2 was their any speculation at all or were people immediately able to guess the 3(As I would guess)?
