Re: An imaginary sister? Sherlock = Eurus?
At the end of the series M.A.S.H., one of the characters is slowing going mad because someone strangled a chicken in front of him. Turns out the chicken was actually a baby, and he had substituted a chicken in his memory because he couldn't process the death of the baby. I wonder if Sherlock substitutes Redbeard for Euros and it is her "death" that he can't process (because he was told she died when he was a child, or something like that...).

Re: An imaginary sister? Sherlock = Eurus?
I have often thought on this myself...though Sherlock does seem to have an affinity to dogs.
Plus I wondered if Euros had done something to Redbeard.
Then again it would make sense his childhood playmate would have a prate name, if they always played pirates,

I remember that episode. It was Hawkeye, played by Alan Alda.

One of the TV moments that haunted me for years. So painful yet so realistic.

Re: An imaginary sister? Sherlock = Eurus?
The whole show was brilliant and the films, too.
But that particular episode was spectacular.
