Things Mycroft said to Sherlock as a child

Alone protects you.
"Blackbeard" isn't actually a dog's name.
Clever one? Um, no, Sherlock, that's me!
Don't cheat again when we are playing "Operation"
(The) East wind is coming. It's coming to get you.
Fff...riends? What is that supposed to be?
Get YOURSELF some...
Hand me another piece of that cake .. and stop giggling!
It's serious, Sherlock, not a game.
John? What a boring name!
Khan? You've been watching this Star Trek rubbish again?
Love is a much more vicious motivator. (as an excuse after hitting his brother)
/ Love you, brother mine
My name is Mycroft, not Mike!
Nudity is not allowed in the hallway, Sherlock Holmes, put your trousers on!
Oh Sherlock, what have you done?
Put that back. It's my experiment!

Quit staring at my cigarettes, you won't get any.

You have to use your imagination a bit. Drape the sofa with a patchwork quilt, put some bee hives in the backyard, and that's it.

How very thoughtful.

Just to remind us when somebody says "soothing" here it's usually extra upsetting?

Now imagine that will be what their residence looks like when they retire together.

QuiteExtraordinary · General Sherlock Discussion

Last night I went crime solving with Sherlock and John. We had to break into a black castle where an especially evil criminal lived. But as soon as we got inside, it turned out there were other people living on the ground floor of the castle. They were just having a party and thought we had been invited. They were all very nice to us. We sat down at the table and ate with them, mixing with the other guests. Then suddenly a lady gave us some sheets of paper and said if we wanted to stay there we had to do a maths test. So we brooded over the problems for a while, until the lady collected the papers. Half an hour later we got them back with corrections and marks. I don't know what I got (given that it was maths I probably failed the test). John was quite good, he got a B. Sherlock's calculations were all crossed out with red felt pen and "You cheated!" written on top of the paper. That was the end of the dream.

QuiteExtraordinary · His Last Vow

Sherlock seems to have come to the conclusion that it's better to be "involved", even if that might be a risk, because the alternative would be spending the rest of his life alone.

QuiteExtraordinary · General Benedict Appreciation

No, that mental image is probably going to keep me up all night.

There is also this very interesting bit with a Mary in her wedding dress, shooting Sherlock, I am not sure we have already discussed it... surely a symbolic one: Mary - wedding - pain. It opens to quite a number of implications.

Some people Interpret this as a sign of Sherlock being jealous because he's in love with John. Well, that's a possibility, if you like the subtext. However, Sherlock was nice to Mary at the wedding in TSO3, and I rather think the meaning of the mind palace scene is that it shows how "love is a dangerous disadvantage". Sherlock is not the cold, withdrawn person anymore that he used to be before Reichenbach. He has let other people into his heart, and now one of those people nearly killed him. He would have deduced earlier that Mary was an assassin if it hadn't been for his "sentiment" to come through. This woman, whom he liked, whose wedding he attended, his best friend's wife, shot him.

Good deduction, Tobe, as always.

QuiteExtraordinary · The Sign of Three

I think the fact that Sherlock wants him to come to the party shows that, like in The Empty Hearse, Sherlock is a bit worried about his brother being lonely. He seems to think that Mycroft needs more friends, or that Mycroft would be welcome/useful in the circle of Sherlock's friends. Mycroft still pretends not to be interested.

Moriarty (or Moriarty's twin for that matter),

Sherlock in a romantic relationship (I don't think that there is really a danger but just to be sure)

Mary's death (that will most likely happen and makes me really sad)

Molly still pining after Sherlock (really, it's time for her to move on)

This.
And: Sherlock on drugs again (once is enough).
