Hahaha. I always thought it'd be a great name for a horse. Like a big Frisian gelding or a draft horse.

Molly. I just adore her, and she's like the polar opposite of Sherlock. It's a beautiful contrast and just so well done. I love her.

This is an interesting way of looking at her. I never thought about that.

You know what they say about opposites attratching...?

I've not got any reall knowledge on horses. I'll have to google those breeds. Is there a reason you'd perfer a large horse?

Here's my Mycroft:

Oh my god! He looks just like my friends dog, he's so cute!

Haha, that's tiny, so sweet.

It's the way Stephen Fry pronounced Mycroft that made me think of a large draft horse. Friesians are black horses, bit Spanish, bit draft, with a lot of hair on the legs. You see them a lot in films.

Seems that we have opposite associations. I think of a huge horse, you think of a tinly little dog.

Except Sherlock and John, I like Molly and Mrs. Hudson best

Another vote for Molly Hooper. She's a perfect balance for Sherlock's dry intelligence. She's bright but warm. empathic, and concerned. Her facial expressions and little utterances are perfect.

Think I didn't write here so far. For me definitely Mycroft! Even more after S3. He convinced me more than ever.

Mrs Hudson - she is the glue that holds it all together, without her Sherlock would never survive

I thought Andrew Scott's Moriarty was a great character, very Joker-esque. After that, Lestrade!!

I think I'll say Molly. I can completely see myself in her so yes it is a very selfish pick!

I especially love how her development is going; she could have forgotten all about her love for Sherlock but she couldn't stop caring... I am really fond of the scenes where she slaps Sherlock! I have wanted to do that so many times with the things he put her through.
