Whereas I've only seen each episode once, and with so much time between seasons, things fall out of the holes in my brain.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

I had forgotten about that clip. Since Sherlock's drug use is original ACD canon, I didn't think much of it at the time.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Sherlock has been using more or less constantly since he came back (and heaven knows how long while he was away). Mary must have never seen him with nothing in his system; her baseline reading of Sherlock's behavior must be chemical alteration. I wonder how high the dosage levels or what cocktails read as high to her. Or if, like Johhny Fever, Sherlock reads most stoned when under no influence.

like Johnny Fever
What a wonderful episode. And no one complained, because it was so obviously a case of "Well, Johnny has permanently destroyed his system. Look at his life, do you really want to exist like he does?"

As I suspected, for Moffett, Doctor Who and Sherlock are basically the same show. This felt so much like a Who episode I expected Moriarity to be a Missy.

Heh, heh, totally reminds me of "You're Munch--the one that took too many drugs and destroyed his brain." from Meldrick's Auntie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I wish that Moffatt would develop as many high concepts as he likes but let someone else write the actual plot and dialog.
The Monstrous Regiment! Nice. In fact, I rather like that last little scene a lot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Speaking of things Moffat, Biyi and I watched a Doctor Who ep last night (a rare occurrence, she's not a fan of scary monsters), and we had a discussion about the "Next Time" teaser at the end.
Me: "Oh, the next episode is one of the highest-rated Doctor Who adventures ever. First place, on many lists."
Biyi: "Oh, I think I recognise those monsters. They're the, um... The Blinking Angels, that's it."
Me: "...The Weeping Angels."
Biyi: "Whatever."

The Monstrous Regiment!
That made me giggle, because of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes novels written by Laurie King. The second one is called "A Monstrous Regiment of Women."

Compassionately intolerant
The Monstrous Regiment!
This made me smile so hard. I wonder who is the Pratchett fan.
