BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Did anybody count the 3's in the Sign of Three??

**Posted by StillSherLocked** January 8, 2014 9:52 am

I'm starting my list... not just random stuff... I'm talking actual 3's
Like when Sherlock warns Mary's exboyfriend about texting and meeting with Mary...
Sherlock says "you volunteered to be a shoulder to cry on, no less than THREE times". Then Sherlock tells him..."downgrade, no more than THREE social visits a year... with John present"
There are more... I'm starting a list... see if we can find them all.
Aren't these writers clever?

p.s.
THREE bank robbers in the family clan.

Bank robbers carried THREE gold bars each..... I'm just saying, there was a lot of 3's

Ok... and right at the end... John, Mary and... what did Sherlock exactly say with the 3? Can't remember the words.

THREE bridesmaids.

What Sherlock said as he assumed that Mary might be pregnant.

"I will be there for all THREE of you"
Then when they are talking, he says "the sign of THREE" implying "with child"

John said it was a free bar when talking about Harry!

(Sorry. I'll get my coat.)

Besides your coat... I believe that kind of humor is "a bit of a punt"

To redeem myself. At the beginning of the reception the photographer takes photos of three subjects in a row; Molly, Lestrade and Mrs Hudson. On each occasion he clicks the shutter 3 times.

Right... and of course the THREE of them standing in front of the church for a picture.... until Sherlock was "uninvited"

I'm turning into a nerd now. Sherlock suggests three best men to John. Billy Kincaid, Gavin Lestrade amd Mike Stamford.
Billy saved three hospitals from closure.

Three writers for that episode: Thompson/Moffat/Gatiss - and of course they did that purposely. The sign of three.

"My husband is three people."

How very telling!

I keep wishing that they very secretly filmed an Episode 4 and will spring it on us as a happy surprise at the end of Three. Wishful thinking.....

**Posted by StillSherLocked** January 8, 2014 6:40 pm

My husband is THREE people...THREE mole patterns...
Sherlock deduces Triplets... THREE Fellas.....

**Posted by Yeahright** January 9, 2014 4:05 pm

The main case was three cases in one : Bainbridge, Mayfly, Sholto.

**Posted by silverblaze** January 9, 2014 10:11 pm

Three people Sherlock imagines he would kill: John, Lestrade and Mycroft.

**Posted by StillSherLocked** January 10, 2014 1:07 am

Sherlock talking with Tessa.... John, Hamish, Watson... three names and Sherlock counts to three on his fingers.
