Did Anderson copy/steal Watson's jumper?

Maybe he hopes that Sherlock will like him just as much as he likes John when he sees him in a John-jumper.

Good point. Anderson thinks that Sherlock likes men in jumpers wearing a moustache. And when Sherlock likes a man with a moustache, how much must he love one wearing a full beard?

Sounds pretty logical to me.

Can I just say again I love all the details and references and associations our fandom makes/notices… whether thanks to the awesome writers doing in the first place, or just filling in our own blanks… even just a little minisode or a picture having neat little ones as well, like with the little hints to cases/canon, and stuff with Anderson, but even stuff like this:

Awww. Yes.

One more question about the "German jury": Even if a jury system existed in Germany (which it does not as some people have already stated) there is still the question about when an accused person could be found guilty: with the vote of only ONE of the jurors? Please correct me if I am wrong but I always thought, the verdict "guilty" has to be unanimous! And in this impossible case in Germany only one juror was sufficient?
Somehow I wonder what Non-Germans who don't know anything about the German law system might deduct from this about court procedures in Germany!
I really like "many happy returns" but this jury thing is a rather big mistake, imho.

My take on this was that Sherlock then convinced all the other jurors to change their minds. Think 'Twelve Angry Men'.

I find the Hamburg scenes totally funny, apart from the fact we don't have a jury court, it's hilarious that members of the jury have such a strong accent when they say "nicht schuldig"

Oh yes, as a Hamburg citizen, I was VERY happy about that scene .

Totally with you ;).
Native english speakers won't notice maybe.
I still wonder why they have some jury thing there... Nonsense
