I love that actor, though I don't remember his name. He pops up all over the place in British TV.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

I am notorious for whitefonting when I needn't and not, when I should. What's the policy for aired bits here?
In theory there's no need to whitefont shows here that have aired in the UK.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'll whitefont it because it's about the ending. bonny, when Sherlock said "You're wasted as a cabbie" I snapped at the TV, "He's done the knowledge. He's brainier than you." (My Girl is a Knowledge Girl.)

Seska, I am in awe of the Knowledge and, therefore, of your girl.
This week's Sherlock was too predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway.
Loving Mrs. Hudson.

I sort of enjoyed it, but didn't like the way they were careless with Sherlock's character. He wasn't really a high-functioning sociopath this time, he was much more house-tamed. Last week, he comments ineptly on morgue-girl's lipstick without a clue that it might have been applied for him. This week, he is not only aware that she has a crush on him, he uses that knowledge to manipulate her into giving him something he wants. He adeptly imitates people and is mostly sensitive to Watson's beginning romance. I liked last week's Sherlock better. I'm putting it down to sloppy writing (not Moffat or Gatiss).
And I feel safer whitefonting.

Yeah, I agree that this week's wasn't as well-written. Also, not the most culturally sensitive episode ever.

Dana, no kidding! I've seen much worse, but that aspect wasn't good.
And Fiona, I totally and completely agree about the shift in Sherlock's personality. Last week, he was delightfully cringe-worthy. This week, his asking for a pen just seemed jerky, rather than quirky .
I do like Watson being less hang-dog though and the addition of the potential love interest was welcome. She's as smart as the fellows and a quite good foil.

Dana, I attributed that aspect to being a leftover from the original stories. It was all a bit Victorian.
