It's so cute that he calls Ben little brother all the time.

Splott is a district in the south of the city of Cardiff.
And you know what?

The name is from Old English splott "speck, blot, patch (of land)," which is also the source of place names in the Vale of Glamorgan, Gower, and Pembrokeshire. Fanciful suggestions for the origin of the name have included a truncation of "God's Plot", as the land belonged to the Bishop of Llandaff in medieval times, and a derivation of plat, meaning a grassy area of land. (according to Wikipedia)

*LOL*
I did know what ADR ist, but had to google Splott.

I long for season 3but despite all the information we have, the waiting has just begun...and I fear it will be worse when it will end: will we have a season 4 and when.... it seems a vicious circle
(sorry I'm in a sad mood today)

We must see John's sister.
I'm hoping for this, too.

We have to see Harry!

It would be interesting to see Harry!

**Posted by kittykat** August 6, 2013 3:07 pm

I'd like to see Harry. In Pink John says that they don't get on, but in Scandal he talks about visiting her so maybe they made up. But we don't really know why she and Clara broke up...could have been the drinking.

**Posted by besleybean** August 6, 2013 4:18 pm

But we're getting one!

**Posted by kittykat** August 6, 2013 4:23 pm

Mary? I thought we were talking about Harry...

**Posted by besleybean** August 6, 2013 4:24 pm

I hope we're getting her, too!

Molly is a BAMF. It's subtle but definately there x

Okay, let's see. So far we've got a) Asked a dude out for a date after she's seen him beating a corpse b) Dated the most criminal dude of the whole country but ended it c) spoke with the sociopath about his emotions and got even listen to.
Definitely a BAMF.

I still expect her to have died during Sherlock's absense...I don't know why, I guess because Watson lost his wife during the hiatus, so John should loose someone, too.
And honestly, it's so much fun to read the different fanfiction versions of her, I really don't want an "official version".

I would find it funny if we don't see her at all. I mean everyone would be talking about her and she would be definitely part of the Sherlock family but no one would actually see her. The known unknown practically. I would find it hilarious.

Definitely a BAMF.

And don't forget;

She told him off and humbled him so much at the christmas party that he apologized and kissed her - in front of everyone.
Sherlock trusts her work enough so they are lab partners at times. He must think very highly of her to trust her like this. He places as much trust in her in the lab as he does to John in everything else.

Molly counts!

I don't think she's a BAMF yet. She could definitely get there, but she still has a ways to go, imo.

She dated the most wanted criminal of the whole country and ended it - what more do you want?
She hasn't got ways to go - she's already there. She just couldn't really show it because she was starstruck by Sherlock. Now that they've finally stopped playing I just hope that their whole relationship will be a different one. That will give her the chance to open up more.

I will qualify that with saying that my list of BAMF is quite short, because I require ultimate bad-a**edness. Sherlock Holmes doesn't really make that list...yet.

1. James Bond
2. The Doctor
3. John McClane
4. Ellen Ripley
5. Atticus Finch

A BAMF doesn't neccessarily have to be an action hero in my opinion.

And not all of mine were, actually. "Atticus Finch" is as far from an action hero as you can get, and "The Doctor" can be an action hero, but he typically solves things by thinking, instead of weapons. It's the attitude that makes it for me...and Molly doesn't have that attitude.

**Posted by besleybean** August 6, 2013 8:19 pm

She reads Sherlock like a book.
He is so impressed by that.

**Posted by Mary Me** August 6, 2013 8:25 pm

Everyone can have a BAMF attitude in my opinion. It's just the question of the definition.
For me it's someone who has his own mind, a tough cookie, who fights his way through the world, who doesn't shy away from anything, who impresses people and does all the things in a pretty cool and admirable way. And I respect Molly HUGELY.
