yk, there is something very rootless about John. I've wondered if he was orphaned/ abandoned pretty young.

May I just say, the way this series absolutely CRAMS you with wondering about the characters' psyches and backstories is what makes it such a stupendous show.

Speaking of class, how would you class the following characters based on the new system (or a more pertinent system, if you prefer, but please explain it to the non-Brits):

Sherlock
John
Lestrade
Molly
Mrs. Hudson

Bless you, my child.

Need to ask a clarifying question.  Commercially produced, USA-compatible DVDs (with extras and all) will NOT be available to purchase until after Series 3 has aired in the USA, right?

There was an article today where Martin was complaining they had to do some outdoors right now - even during the night. So he wasn't really looking forward to it.

Poor punkin!  Thanks for the reply.

I also heard that if Moriarty was dead, why would Sherlock have to tell John on the phone that he was a fake and all that..

To ease his grief?

Doesn't it pretty much HAVE to be Beatrice, Eugenie, Zara, or Kate? Please correct/redirect me if I'm wrong. Also, feel free to comment EXTENSIVELY on how the British audience might have been expected to react to such an insinuation. Seems a little bold ('pushing the envelope') to me.

I'm sure that after season 2 was finished, they broke everything down into its pieces and stuck it in a storage unit somewhere (all the furniture too), and now it's being reassembled on a sound stage again.

THAT's the part I was wondering about!  I thought they were starting from scratch, as if they'd recycled the materials for another production due to lack of storage space or something.

I'm happy to watch them paint the wall in 221B...

That was a joke in the pilot, right?  A reference to the title?  A study in pink?  Because the flat is where John and Sherlock do their thinking and writing, like a boarding school study?
