it was blatantly obvious to you that it was a cabbie as soon as he started talking about someone who everyone trusts and who hunts in crowds, right? when he said that then said he didnt know who it was, i was surrprised. is it just because its a tv show that whats obvious to us isnt obvious to Sherlock Holmes?

Well, apparently it was obvious for us and less for Sherlock.

I think a show where Sherlock knew each and everything right away and were always ahead of the audience would be just boring.
So it's important for dramaturgic reasons.

... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

I agree.
We never fully understand, do we? I mean, even at 221b when Mrs. Hudson was talking about the taxi driver all the time Sherlock didn't seem to get it.
That was not really brilliant, but probably dramaturgy.

Well, he did understand it immediately in the pilot, so it was all due to the changed length of the episode and the need of building the tension of the final confrontation. In any way, it was sufficient to remember "The Study in Scarlet" in order to know who the murderer was.

I must admit that I didn't get it right away. But then, I barely ever do.
I only thought of the cabbie when he was standing in 221b.

I realised that it has something to do with cabs when I heard a woman telling her (probably, I don't really remember) husband to get a cab and a moment later that man died.

I think there were too many hints in this episode.

Sherlock fandom rule: Never tell a friend to get a cab.

I knew Study In Scarlet anyway so pretty difficult to say whether I would have guessed it earlier or not.
