Seeing double, and not sure what it means... (I should put that on a t-shirt.)

  1. HLV -- Magnussen looking at Lady Smallwood during the Magnussen inquiry 
     
  2. ASiB --  Sherlock looking at The Woman in front of the fire
     
  3. TSoT -- Major Sholto
  4. THotB -- Henry 
  5. TSoT -- Mycroft


Horned Women

Mary's horns were a bit foreboding.... (I hope season 4 treats her well.)

And now Janine has horns too?  I hope she isn't evil -- I like her!


Molly, please, please, please watch where you stand in 221B Baker Street! (You too, Mrs. Hudson!)

Might be a good idea to avoid red stripes; just sayin'.

In TRF, Douglas Wilmer plays the man whom John approaches at the Diogenes Club.


Wilmer played Sherlock Holmes in the 1960s television series.
