Hey everyone,

October is starting in about a month, so: Would anyone here be interested in a daily Inktober challenge based on the group's theme? And would anyone like to help me run it?

I or others who want to help would suggest a daily task or theme for which you can create something. That means you could draw, write, compose music, sew, knit, take photos, craft, build things, or do whatever else comes to mind.

Inktober is an annual challenge launched in 2009 by American artist Jake Parker. The idea behind it is to create an ink drawing every day throughout October. There is an official list of 31 prompts—one for each day of the month to guide participants. The goal of Inktober is to improve drawing skills and develop a regular drawing routine.

Although the focus was originally on ink drawings, many artists today use various materials and digital media to take part in the challenge. The hashtag #Inktober is used on social media to share artwork and connect the community. Inktober has since become a global phenomenon, inspiring countless artists worldwide to take on the challenge.

Which Microsoft Surface would you recommend as my first detective laptop?

It has to be Microsoft Surface because that's what all great detectives use including the detectives in the detective society (what's the name again?)

Background I had gotten about halfway through the show when it first aired

Then fell off it for some reason and it had been on my “to watch” list of years

A couple months ago I decided it was high time I finally watched the show from start to finish once and for all

Got in the habit of watching 1-2 episodes every day quickly became one of my favourite shows again

And today I completed the run

Man what a ride, from acting, humour, characters, plots

Truly an incredible show

Not sure what to do now……. Granted I never read the books

And the world moved on as if nothing happened.

This is like being able to harvest anti-matter energy at scale. The world would have changed forever.

Also, come the fuck on, P!=NP. There's no way they are equal; it's just that we cannot prove it yet.

Can anyone tell me about Season 7 Episode 10 in which Holmes and Watson were playing a video game to prove that 'Professor Soames 'track star' Mr. Gilcrest gained access to his office, photographed the test...'? What was the proof that they found?

I kept wondering why she seemed familiar. Finally it clicked.

I was rewatching the last season after like 2-3 years. Usually I just randomly selected something from the first 3-4 seasons and watched while eating food.

I had forgotten that Watson got a lump removed and was due for chemo in a month.

Today when I watched it and Sherlock cried while hugging her insisting he would stay, I just couldn't control myself.

Not the right platform but I got diagnosed with cancer a few months back and I'm undergoing chemo. My babies were 7 month old at the time of my diagnosis and the way I was shit scared that I'll die leaving them without a mother, made me go crazy till the prognosis was given.

Seeing that Watson adopted a child recently and then she got this shitty thing, made me cry.

Question: Mycroft was working with British Intelligence when he lied and told Sherlock that his father wanted him to return to London, then called what I assume was his handler to say that his ruse didn't work and that they would have to come at the problem some other way.

Why did he need to get rid of Sherlock? It turned out that Le Milieux kidnapped Joan and Mycroft said that he could get the 'list' for them in exchange for Joan, but what was the scheme before Joan got herself kidnapped?

I just saw a commercial played on Prime while rewatching!!! WTH??

• sorry for my bad english* I just saw this sub and wanted to post my review about the show I watched long back. I think it started as best sherlock out of all adaptations but as seasons passed, it felt like his entire purpose like was to carry watson's weak ass character. Also not forgetting about the worst actor I have ever seen Lucy Liu who got exact same facial expression for every emotion and looked ice cold speaking every line while sherlock was crying in corner . 10/10 performance by jonny miller , 10/10 performance by ophilia as well ... Rest of the cast was weak and writing was very weak too.

Holmes: You're annoyed with me?

Watson: Yeah, I am. I have been since you broke up with Fiona. She was great. You really liked her.

Holmes: WATSON!!

The Greek Interpreter

1) Watson being a writer. This was one of the most interesting things about other adaptations for me. It was mentioned her writing here and there, but they really missed the opportunity to make it a bigger part of her character and show her eventually becoming a well-known writer or something along those lines.

2) Sherlock playing the violin. Imo this was missing too (kinda). Maybe they thought teaching Jonny how to play the violin would be too much trouble, but I would've loved to see this version of Sherlock play the violin at least from time to time rather than bashing it.

I am utterly unaware of these things it seems and stumbled across this show last month thinking I had just discovered something new. After watching the first season, I discovered that there were in fact seven seasons and that I was late by 14 years.

I confess to liking most interpretations, films, and adaptations of Sherlock and companion, but I am now through three seasons of this and have genuinely enjoyed it so far. The duo is wonderful together, and though I am not an addict myself, knowing many, I believe the journey of recovery is depicted quite accurately, even with Sherlock’s extremes of intelligence and obsessive behavior.

I also did not expect an artistic turtle, but then that goes for so many things unexpected in this series. I also could not place Jonny Lee Miller until I read of the Hackers role and realized I've seen him in several things though he's changed dramatically.
On to season four! Better late than never.

I'm on my 3rd re-watch, and have come to A Landmark Story. (S01 e21) Every time I watch this episode, I'm struck by Moran's song as he's being led away after having killed a guard: "Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the woman with the bags passes by."
I've tried several times to find the source of this line, and the evidence is surprisingly scant.

One of the things that keeps coming up is the movie "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." In the opening scene, Bacon (played by Jason Statham in his film debut) calls out while selling stolen goods, "too late, too late, will be the cry, when the man with the bargains passes by." Now, Jason Statham has previously been a street vendor; and I have seen at least 1 person from London say that they've heard that line many, many times in market areas.

(Regarding the song itself: it seems to be adapted from an old hymn.)

Additionally, Vinnie Jones plays a character named Victor Moran. One of his costars in Lock Stock was an actor named Nick Moran, who has gone on to be a successful director. So, it's a reasonable to surmise that Vinnie Jones had some input to the naming of his character as well as some of his lines.

(Additional fun facts: Vinnie Jones was a footballer before being cast in Lock Stock. Apparently the script said that the character "looked like English footballer Vinnie Jones." And he was was a pretty rough customer: he'd been imprisoned for beating up his neighbor and was only released a day before filming began.)

Sherlock is borderline autistic and extremely wealthy. Yet he still fell into drugs and had relapses. Money couldn't really solve it.

Then, he solved it by having good supporting system (e.g. Joan, Bell, Gregson), and he emphasizes this multiple times across the show how he has supporting system in NY.

Building a good supporting system i.e. having a few good colleagues (doesn't even need to be friend) is the key.

I just think it's such a wonderful message on how to solve a drug addiction.

Outright the best sherlock holmes modern adaptation 🙌

Late to the party I know (Elementary was one of this shows that was always on my list but I never got it)

Currently doing a full watch through

But wanted to know if anyone had any mixed feelings towards this ep

a guy who tried to get Holmes to help him with a case for 5 years, gets ignored and then finally holds up a diner to force him to help

The excuse given was that Holmes and Watson never had time buuut that’s kinda BS they don’t work cases 24/7 and sometimes they go a week or so without having work

Kinda disappointed in them for ignoring that guy even when they had some spare time

Good episode, really cool flashbacks, but I think it did a little damage to the characters likability to me

Anyone else have that feeling?

I've always wondered about Sherlock's pronunciation of Spanish names based on the fact that he if fluent. Aguilar pronounced A-gui-lar ???

Sherlock must be the biggest client of a paper seller somewhere :D. The amount of printouts he produces over the years is insane. And all the office supply he is getting for his subject walls. He probably gets a discounted price at this point.
Would be so funny if he had placed an order at the office :D
