Raith Against The Machine Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I love anything Sherlock Holmes, but Sherlock really is very good. Great programme. One little thing from tonight, that isn't really a "spoiler" as such but just a daft question I have from the episode: Just before Sherlock opened the safe in Irene Adler's flat, what did he shout so that Watson and Adler would know to duck? I can only imagine it was a British cultural reference that the Americans wouldn't understand, but I just didn't hear it. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it was excellent, again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broccoli Dog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 i think he said "vatican cameos". not sure what that meant though one would assume that it is a pre-arranged codeword between holmes and watson in the event of an imminent trap/danger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 one would assume that it is a pre-arranged codeword between holmes and watson in the event of an imminent trap/danger. Well according to our friend Google, there was a Sherlock game in the late 90s that goes by that name. Must mean something in the Sherlock mythology I'd assume 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broccoli Dog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Well according to our friend Google, there was a Sherlock game in the late 90s that goes by that name. Must mean something in the Sherlock mythology I'd assume ah i see, it is either a reference to a holmes "fan fiction" written by anne margaret lewis "The Vatican Cameos I was exceedingly preoccupied by that little affair of the Vatican cameos, and in my anxiety to oblige the Pope I lost touch with several interesting English cases. —Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles Sherlock Holmes helps Pope Leo XIII recover a rare collection of ancient Roman cameos that has vanished en route to Queen Victoria. A gift with political implications, their loss could cost English Catholics their much-needed cathedral in London. Holmes travels to Rome to locate the stolen baubles, but when this theft quickly turns to murder, Holmes and the Holy Father realize this case is more treacherous than they imagined. Introduced and concluded by Dr. Watson, the bulk of the tale is told in the fatherly voice of the erudite and prolific Pope Leo XIII." http://holmeschurchmysteries.com/ or this old text adventure game http://hotud.org/component/content/article/45-interactive-fiction/24178 Edited January 1, 2012 by Broccoli Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hammy shite aimed at middle class morons. The bit at the swimming pool was excruciatingly bad. Do you actually like anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah pickle pants Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thought it was great. But Moriarty is so shit- like Graham Norton meets Ant & Dec. Shit, shit, shit. I found him to be quite disappointing. What is his accent all about? Also did Sherlock just write-off the dead body of the fake Irene Adler at the morgue, or did I miss something. A woman is dead and she would of had to be hand picked to fool Sherlock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englebre21 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Of course I do, what a bizarre question. It's not bizarre at all. Let me explain. You referred to the show in question as "Hammy shite aimed at middle class morons." You denigrate the show while simultaneously devaluing the people who enjoy it - without actually offering any justification for doing so. This sort of behavior is commonly attributed to people who are compulsively negative on the internet - which you were assumed to be by your statement, and thus the original question. Separately, but related, your chosen venue of attack was the assumed intelligence of the "middle class," which reveals yourself to be rather puffed up on what you see as your own vast intellect. With more than eleven thousand posts to your name, you spend a great deal of time online - and your focus on "intelligence level" - limits you to a rather sad group of self-aggrandizing internet blowhards.
