The Hounds of Baskerville
Sherlock is eerie and pale, John wears more old man clothes and the Great Grimpen Minefield lurks. John and Sherlock stroll around a top secret military base. Sherlock blue steels all over the place. John and Sherlock are so a couple.
Sherlock never seems to take his coat off. Henry Knight the eternal annoying whiner is convinced that a mutant super dog is after him. John knows Morse code. Henry Knight whines a lot and doesn’t close his curtains. Sherlock seems to be cracking up. John stumbling across the doggers is as funny as ever.
Everyone thinks John and Sherlock are a couple. John calls Sherlock “Spock” which is funny after ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’. John wears the world’s ugliest anorak. Sherlock manipulates John and experiments on him with creepy intensity. There is a Maggie Thatcher fan boy, an awful CGI dog, Henry screeches a lot and there is foreshadowing of 2x03. I love this ep.

“What?”
“Timing.”
