The episode started so case-focussed, it seemed so promising! *sigh*

Huh, funny, I thought it would turn out it's not actually Sherlock playing, and I was right. But it is a recording of Sherlock playing.
Oh, now I get it! Sometimes I'm way too slow. I didn't see how Sherlock having a list and Mycroft having a file would be such a big difference that it would be worth mentioning, because I imagined it as a list in a computer file. But Sherlock meant that Mycroft has a whole folder of paper.
"It changes people, marriage." Stupid generalization.
Yeah, who leaves a wedding early? After all there totally aren't any people who would find being around other people exhausting. Or who find this whole collection of tranditions stupid. I could go on.

"Into battle" says Sherlock. So his battle dress is still black and white.

Oh, now I see why we're getting to see Sholto getting dressed. The important belt.

Sherlock decides to downgrade David to casual aquaintance, no more than 3 social encounters a year with Mary and always in John's presence. So... what, Sherlock doesn't trust Mary to not cheat on John? And he's still willing to help their relationship? I know this is a shocking bit of revelation, but it is completely possible for people who are compatible sexual-orientation-wise to have a platonic relationship, even when one side is interested. Stop making me grumpy!

So, did Mary have to lose weight because that's what us women totally all do or because of the baby's extra weight? Would there already be enough extra weight for it to be noticeable?

Mycroft with this "end of an era" bullshit too.

I wonder if Stella and Ted are a How I Met Your Mother reference.

I like Sherlock's story about Billy Kincaid.
From now on there'll be eye tea at every Sherlockian Halloween party. :oD

*snort* Meat dagger sounds like bad porn description for penis. Also, that theory sounds familiar, I think they had something like that on CSI once.

Hehe, Sherlock with his own name on the post-it reminds me of Cabin Pressure, when Martin said that he could write "captain" on his forehead and people still wouldn't get it.

That's the same corridor they walked down in The Reichenbach Fall! Only this time John was in the cell too.

Heh, more fun with the names in the obituaries. There's a C. Knapp, and Marty wrote about her. I wonder if that was a deliberate Cabin Pressure reference.

Has Sherlock sort of picked up the Jim's neck movement?
