To want Sherlock to kiss me like that

Benedict Cuminmysnatch just kissed a woman after breaking through her window.
I never have anything nice happen like that to me.

I'm worling at St Bart's today.

How nice to know that BC must have walked up this very staircase. I'm in the building he jumped from.

ummingandahhing · 10/01/2014 13:52

Working. Stupid fat fingers.

Mary

Definitely Mary.

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 15:40

Mary died in the books didn't she? My Mum reckons it will be in childbirth!

Not looking forward to it Sad

Thurlow · 10/01/2014 15:45

I don't think they'd dare do it in childbirth. It's not The Walking Dead, after all! I think it'll have something to do with that blackmailer. There's that whole 'CAM' thing from the wedding telegrams to do with him, he involved with Mary's history somehow, though I don't think she's gone after John deliberately.

FrankelInFoal · 10/01/2014 15:46

I think (not 100% sure as I've not read the relevant books) that Mary died "between stories", so in one book she was fine and in the next she was already dead. They certainly didn't have any children in the stories.

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 15:49

No, they didn't have children in the books. My Mum also said Mary died 'between stories'. And that John was devastated by it Sad.

I love that show to pieces but bloody hell it can be depressing at times.

And whatever happens we then have a (probable) two year wait until the next series!

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 10/01/2014 16:00

In the books she dies somewhere between "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House" -- which is of course the exact point at which the character's been introduced in Sherlock, which must be deliberate at some level.

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 10/01/2014 16:14

Aww... in the books she meets Watson in 1888 in The Sign of the Four, is still alive in 1891 when Moriarty goes off the top of the Reichenbach Falls, but is dead by early 1894 when Sherlock returns. So she could only have been early thirties when she died -- Watson will have been about forty at that point but IIRC The Sign of the Four implies that she's several years younger.

[Yes, I do grasp that she's a fictional character... Blush]

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 16:17

Wait. This could mean...she's a ghost OR a time-traveller.

I would put nothing past Moffat and Gatiss at this point.

Remember they are also responsible for timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly stuff in Doctor Who.

Can't believe HQ haven't given us a little deerstalker emoticon - we got a tardis one for Doctor Who!

HRHwheezing · 10/01/2014 16:59

I don't ant to worry anyone but it seems he has a gf in Sherlock on Sunday.

As long as it's platonic we don't care

This thread has cheered my January no end

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 17:00

Girlfriend? Angry

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 10/01/2014 17:19

In the short story it's based on Holmes gets his information by (in disguise) chatting up (and actually becoming engaged to) the housemaid, so I imagine there will be some kind of reference/parallel to that.

HRHwheezing · 10/01/2014 17:20

Yes, according to the wiki entry of the Sherlock Holmes book.
It's a front apparently.

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 18:09

It had better be. I don't tolerate people cheating on me Grin

Coumarin · 10/01/2014 18:15

Is she pretty? What's her hair like?
Envy

Wink
Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 18:20

Coumarin

Is she pretty just reminds me of the last episode where they were playing the 'Who Am I?' game and John said 'am I a pretty lady?' Grin

I've been saying that for days now, along with 'he's clueing for looks' and 'I don't mind' (loved that drunk bit).

HRHwheezing · 10/01/2014 20:31

I disappointed that there are no Pervy hand rubbings today, I need these to get through my day!

From 21st jan alibi has the second series of Sherlock on, so we can perv over moriaty. Again.

FrankelInFoal · 10/01/2014 21:02

Sign of Three about to start on BBC3 Grin

HRHwheezing · 10/01/2014 21:41

Serious thought.

I think we should all go to hamlet and wear I shave for Sherlock t shirts.

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 21:42

And stand there with very solemn faces, nodding thoughtfully whenever he speaks. I wonder how long it would take for him to break character Grin

Nombrechanger · 10/01/2014 21:54

Oh, go on then, have some Benedict Hand Porn.
It's a hand-fest - be warned!

I'm feeling the need for another clean up on aisle 7...

Make sure you avoid Tumblr for the next 48 hours. Apparently someone who was at the press screening earlier this week has given away all the spoilers for His Last Vow Angry

Whiskwarrior · 10/01/2014 21:59

Oh, but I like going on Cumberbuddy now for porn pertinent information? Godammit!

The hand gif is pure lust, especially where he's holding the girl's hand.
