A Study In Holmesian Iconoclasm: Masks & Images P.2

This is the final part of a series that looked into the canon story The Six Napoleons, resulting in mary-resurrects-lucretia & sherlock-on-the-ocean-when-neitzsche-wept. In the story, someone is running around, smashing Napoleon busts. Strange enough, but even more so when you find out that this has all happened before. Arthur Conan Doyle was masterful, it seems, at embedding real-life people and true tales of History in the Holmes stories. Iconoclasm is the social belief in the importance of the destruction of usually religious icons and other images or monuments, most frequently for religious or political reasons…In Political and revolutionary iconoclasm, revolutions, and changes of regime, whether through uprising of the local population, foreign invasion, or a combination of both, are often accompanied by the public destruction of statues and monuments identified with the previous regime.

It amazes me that, even after watching it soooo many times, I still manage to see new things! Like how have I never noticed that there are still a few frames of Sherlock on the roof, left over from the unaired pilot??

Like how?? Also, when Mrs Hudson was asking if they needed two bedrooms, it was totally because she was secretly hoping that Sherlock had finally met someone. It’s so obvious… how people can’t see it… *sigh!

Hahahah when I was watching the other day I pointed out the same thing. I find it hilarious that Moffat likely begged them to at least put a few frames of it in.
