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.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

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.

brillig
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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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 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 hardest to learn / was the least complicated
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.

Pratchett is what I thought of, too, but its cuter as a Laurie King reference! The internet tells me they are all alluding to a 16th century religious tract.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Actually, there was a pamphlet by John Knox that used that phrase first. Never read it, but have seen it referenced elsewhere.
