I generally watch stuff on my phone and it tends to "hiccup" when I play video or songs, could have been the issue or I just fast-forwarded past the credits that day is another option, but I usually don't do that!

I really need to rewatch all of them, I didn't catch all the details y'all post about! It's great fun to read all the nitpicking and theories on here. Adds so much more depth to the stories. Love it!

Put the subtitles on when you watch and get even more nuances--  they say a lot of things under their breath and/or very quickly (not to mention their thick English accent) that can be easy to miss. Occasionally watching with subtitles can really enhance the whole experience, or at least, it has for me.


 

A bit of a different view on that scene, I think nobody here on the forum mentioned any of that before. We've all only been talking about that drama queen stuff.

I just started reading the board, new around here , and someone posted a link that showed Watson crying, rain falling behind him, saying Sherlock was his best friend. Was that scene cut from the final showing? I have only watched each show once but I really don't remember that!

LOVE all your discussions.

Thanks,
Charley

If you live in the US, the first showing of TRF on Masterpiece Theater on PBS edited out this scene, so I never saw it until I got my DVDs. No idea why NetFlix would have done that, though.

Oh, I think I have to watch that again. 

One of so many things we need to watch again, right?

What a terrible thing to do. 

During the showing of TRF, PBS also edited out S/J leaving Kitty's flat, the brief discussion they had out on the street after Moriarity took off on them. And they also edited out the bit with barefoot John sitting dejectedly in his chair in 221B right after Sherlock fell, and Mycroft sitting in his club reading the newspaper headlines about his brother's death.

I think they learned not to do that though, because AFAIK, they didn't do any unfortunate editing when they showed the S3 episodes.

Good heavens, I just found a thing on tumblr and checked it with Ariane deVere and it is true and really amazing and I think we did not mention it here before. *deep breath*

When Tessa tells her story John falls asleep and is woken by Sherlock. But I never realised what sleepy John says when waking up:

SHERLOCK: What’s your dog’s name?
JOHN (blurrily, talking in his sleep): Yeah, I’m there if you want it.

No comment. 

Of course we all know that's totally harmless. He's probably talking about... making Sherlock a cup of tea.

Nice topic for the alphabet game, "Things John meant when saying that."

Brilliant. I am sure we will find lots and lots of harmless and non-Johnlock-y explanations. 

Let's end the currend game quickly and get started with the new one.
