@raggedyblue added similarities between Casablanca and Series 4 to a classic post on TJLC/Casablanca parallels.

Several confirmations of Series 5 by people involved with Sherlock from a while back have been found:

In Case You Missed It

Bad news: An unfavorable and frankly biased Slate podcast about TJLC came out. Several of us wrote replies (hereherehere, and here).

Good news: Benedict Cumberbatch won an Outstanding Achievement Award; meanwhile, In a Heartbeat won a Student BAFTA!

Did you write some cool stuff that I missed? Drop me a message and I’ll stick it in next month’s review. Check out the About page first.

If John Watson was a bed.

I bet there are purple silk sheets under there…

The best thing about this is the anthropomorphizing of the bed AS John Watson, not like, “Sherlock’s new bedding seems kind of like a Freudian (pillow) slip.”

This bed it totally John. And here is Sherlock.

Moriarty:

Molly:

(poor thing, single bed)

Greg:

Mrs Hudson:

And, of course, Irene Adler:
