Yes, he is probably wondering what else they could possibly talk about.

That reminds me, the thing with Catholic priests and celibacy isn't written somewhere either, if I'm informed right. 

As with many religious rules, the real reason behind celibacy for priests was quite different from what is said today (at least for the last Millenium or so).
The Catholic church was always quite rich, not least because of all the land it owned. If priests of high standing, such as bishops and cardinals had children (or sons, more rather), it was feared that they would inherit their fathers' land. The church had a lot to lose from such a system, therefore they tought it best to keep the "arrangement" that all priests must be celibate.

If I remember correctly, celibacy even came close to being abolished in the 15th century, but after the Borgia family (pope Alexander VI's offspring) had nearly managed to take over the world, the strict rules were hastily reinstalled.
Sorry if that was too off topic.

In this one, for example: find the hands.

Lestrade might also bring Anderson along, but only under certain conditions:

Nice. I would like to buy all three of them so I can have tea with Arthur and Sherlock. And with Mycroft.

I obviously haven't watched these episodes enough...or just looking in the wrong places....I need to be looking at the background of scenes more, instead of ogling at Benedict and Martin and Andrew.

It's the same with me. I guess they could change the whole background to black and I wouldn't even notice.

Vatican cameos.

Some things are a matter of habit, I guess.

Ok. Another one.
I just can't decide whether it's because the episodes weren't shot in the correct order or whether Sherlock is like most men:

HOUNDS.
Sherlock to Mrs. Hudson; "New dress."


Back in SCANDAL:


Mrs Hudson's dress remains unmentioned.

She bought a new dress that looks exactly like the old one and Sherlock is observant enough to notice even that.

I do wonder why so many directors-producers-whoevers keep doing that to him, pouring the bleach on that beautiful hair. His natural auburn is gorgeous (or what I think is his natural color, anyway-- brown with red highlights), shiny and curly and soft-looking. This just looks all dried out and contrived.  I feel the same way about when they made Sherlock too black, as they did in The Blind Banker, for instance-- all that fakey black junk poured on his hair. Were they trying to make him look all weird and mysterious and bat-like?  Who can understand the minds of a bunch of male show runners.....

Maybe they are afraid if he looks too good that the screen might explode or too many fangirls would collapse or ...
