Anonymous asked: Hi, just found your blog, and I have two questions, maybe they were answered before, I haven’t found them. First, in 2x01, how did Sherlock figure out the safe code? I looked at the words in the sentence, but have no clue how he solved it. The other one is when Moriarty and Sherlock are talking on the roof. Am I the only one who thought it was weird how M. changed his...

Anonymous asked: why don't you tag the asks where you are being silly with "Andersons opinion" because Sherlock never takes them seriously so why should we.

Anonymous asked: That Sonata No. 1 in G minor sounds unbelievably familiar. I know it’s a long shot asking, but do you know if it was used at some point in the Granada series?? (Post being referenced.) I have no idea. Can anyone else help the Anon out on this one?

drwholocked asked: Re: Soo Lin Yao living next door. I'm pretty sure his "You've been clever" is more about how she's managed to elude him since he came after her and less about how she's lived up till now. After all, her brother did visit her in her flat. He knows where she lives. That's not the part where she was clever. Living in the museum underbelly and avoiding the assassin...

charlotte-p-utton asked: Maybe Soo Lin Yao lives right next to the drop-off because she figured it would be the last place they’d look. Simply because they’d think she wouldn’t be stupid enough to do what she did. (Post being referenced.) From The Blind Banker script: So basically we just need to decide if Sherlock was complimenting her on the bold strategy or being...

jefflion asked: Hi, I'm was the one asking about "scull" (talk about mind blockage). Seriously, though, are there some close-up pics of the skull? It did seem like a female skull from some angles. At others, not so much. So it's confusing. I'm sure it's a prop and not a real one, but I'd like to have a better look at it. (I'm an archaeologist so I can tell them apart......

thenorwoodbuilder asked: Hi! As I continue to appreciate your blog as the funnier and cleverer I've found till now, I'd like very much to know if you have an opinion on the significance (or lack of it) of the strange bull's head hung on the wall at 221B. You can find the related post on my Tumblr with the tag "melomaniac bucranium". ;-) Thanks!

goseaward asked: I have been devouring everything on this blog--thanks so much for putting it all together. I had a quick thing to ask your opinion on, as I'm not very good w/ images. When bizarro!John is walking into the school, on the landing he's approaching, there's a tall dark-haired man shaking somebody's hand like they've just met. The overall impression isn't much like gunman...

allourheroes asked: I was looking at a gif, and I'm pretty sure the guy from your screaming girl theory--gunman #2, if I remember correctly--is walking in behind Moriarty when he's brought in/going on trial. It looks like him to me, at least.

nympheline asked: Re: Sherlock spending time at home licking poisons: yes, I think he does. At least, the canon implies he's the sort. In *A Study in Scarlet*, Stamford says, "I could imagine his giving a friend a little pinch of the latest vegetable alkaloid, not out of malevolence, you understand, but simply out of a spirit of inquiry in order to have an accurate idea of the effects. To do him justice,...

[[MORE]]Anonymous asked: Just so you don’t think I’m cheating or anything, people’s comments on the internet have been very helpful (even if they can’t always put it together). I really am trying to wait patiently for the PBS shows and the DVDs. It’s hard, with such a fun mystery out there! Why do you torture us poor Americans and make us wait so long. ;) ...

Anonymous asked: I feel like I'm one of the only people who dislikes the thought of people cheating for the BAFTA audience award. I know people mean well and they just wanna "support" their favorite show, but it's depressing me. Instead of using our influence to get the Brits to vote, people seem to be saying let's hack because we can, and it's OK 'cause we're still mad...

It's your turn to find the milk, Sherlock.
Maybe I’m just super, super weird and this will go nowhere, but… Anyone want to play “find the milk”? Here’s the first time they left the milk out in Sherlock: Can you find the another time when the milk’s been out/visible? Bonus points if you find them sequentially, though it’s not required. (Since someone might want to go backwards to the unaired...

Anonymous asked: Do you have theory on why they used the music of the Fall (“Prepared to do anything”) in ASIB when Sherlock comes back and discovers that mrs. Hudson has been “kidnapped” upstairs? It struck me when I rewatched it yesterday… I’m afraid have absolutely no soundtrack-based theories, and I probably never will. (Unless you count “they...
