I am looking forward to the next series and fully trust the writers in whatever adventures Sherlock will undertake next. My only recommendation would be in regards to inserting a scene, or to be more specific a quote, from the original cannon. So far the references tying into Arthur Connan Doyle's original stories have been scattered about the episodes much to the amusement of myself and I am sure many others, so though I adore the updated spin on one of literature's greatest detectives I feel that there is still a scene missing. In "The Naval Treaty" Sherlock gives an uncharacteristic speech on the beauty and religious relevance of a the moss rose which shows a very different side to the 'emotionless' detective. Or would this scene feel too similar to Sherlock's best man speech? I would love to know your opinions and what cannon references you want to see in the next season.

“'What a lovely thing a rose is!'
He walked past the couch to the open window and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. It was a new phase of his character to me, for I had never before seen him show any keen interest in natural objects.
'There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as religion,' said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. 'It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.'"
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Naval Treaty
