It did kind of look like it was about to attack them though. It was a pretty vicious dog.

 

The poor dog (who in the very end, after it was killed looked like a perfectly norma rottweiler) has been exposed over and over to the gas.  If it can drive a person insane, what will it do to a dog?

I just mentioned this is the 'mistakes' thread for the episode, but it bugs me that they got the info on John's CV so wrong in TBB. I find the little details in shows fascinating - in another life I'd have loved to work on props and location scouting for TV and film. But for the CV, it's not like they had to source it and try and find something as close to accurate as possible - someone on the production team created it from scratch, completely customisable... and got it wrong. It just seems such a bummer when so much attention goes in to these things most of the time.

The look I got at Dr. Watsons CV showed that he passed his first year in Med. School.  Hardly impressive. I can diagnose most everything on the list, and I'm a clinical laboratory scientist (Medical Technologist is what we were called not long ago).
 

I believe that Sherlock realizes at some point that he needs John.  They work out a "system" where if Sherlock tries to get info out of someone, he screws it up - using threats or some such, whereas, John can quietly talk to them, and get the info they need. 
Also, John is often the one to mention something that leads Sherlock to the correct conclusion. The cabby talks to the victims....the vegetarian restaraunt with a bill for meat.....

Even if they do have to voice over - they have to exactly match movement with sound - not easy, and it can't fix any goofs, as it would be obvious when the face/voice are out of sync.

I've not gone through all 136 pages of this thread, but....when I say "ok" it sounds either like Mollys when Sherlock totally doesn't get that she's asking him out, but just tells her "black, 2 sugars, I'll be in the lab upstairs" (ASiP)   Or when John asks him if he's wearing any pants at Buckingham Palace. 

(I do love the extra long look John gives Sherlocks groin area before asking the question).

There is a split second when Sherlock is starting his escape from the police - The look on Lestrads face when Sherlock tells everyone to get on their knees.

Of course Lestrad gives them a bit of a head start before telling the police to go after them.

He does take a mince pie from Mrs. Hudsons fridge and eat it (speaking with his mouth full!) while getting The Womans phone from her.

Hi Fanny -  I'm just as new as you are
I'm very sorry for your loss.

Are you also a Dr. Who fan?  That would make you a SuperWhoLockian

I'm curious as to how they illuminate Sherlocks eyes when he is "using" microscopes. If the diaphragm is open so far that that amount of light is coming through the optitics, you'd be blinded. 

There is a scene in the flat where it's not even turned on.  That is the only time he is close enough to the optics that he'd be able to actually see what is on the slide.

Frankly, the science is rubbish.  I can certainly forgive that for the sheer genious of the show.
(and, yeah, I use microscopes daily at work).
