Woof, woof!

I thought this was incredibly funny. Not always for the right reasons, but still. Enjoyable stuff. It's given Cumbers loads of new material. THE MIND PALACE. Good God. The bit we saw was just the Minority Report room of the Mind Palace. He's got rooms a-go-go in there. The Angry Dome, the Chamber of Secrets, the Oubliette of repressed childhood anxiety and so on. He also has a Think Tank for when he needs to Mind Palace it up on the go.

Sherlock can drive! God Dammit. There goes ANOTHER perfectly good piece of Headcanon. And such an obnoxiously big gas guzzler, too. You're a trendy Londoner, Sherlock, think of your carbon footprint! You look like a member of the Countryside Alliance there. Or Monkfish. MOOOOOOOONKFIIIIIIIISH!

The harpoon, however, was completely true to my headcanon. He got it when Somalian pirates fired it into his thigh. He considers it a gift. And the sniffing up second hand smoke. Funtimes.

Nice to see much more John & Sherlock Bromantic action going on after last week. We've had Sherlock discombobulated by The Softer Passions last week, and by fear & self doubt this week - can't help but feel that these wobbles are leading up to something big next week (hope so!)

Sherlock making John a horrid cup of coffee was funny enough, but the reveal of why was hugely amusing. I pictured it much like the 'The Froghurt Is Also Cursed' scene from The Simpsons.
Sherlock: I made you a coffee.
John: That's good.
Sherlock: It has sugar in it.
John: That's bad.
Sherlock: The coffee is to say I'm sorry.
John: That's good.
Sherlock: The sugar is to make you think there's a demon hound after you.
John: That's bad.
Sherlock: I got you some ketchup to say sorry for the stuff with the sugar.
John: That's good.
Sherlock: There's a very good chance that the ketchup contains Sodium Amytal.
John:...
Sherlock: That's bad.

I get excited about silly little things, like we finally see Sherlock eating food and drinking alcohol in this series. So pleased both he & Mycroft react to bad shit going down with Brandy, abiding by the old Holmes Family Motto of the RP.

HOLIDAY GREG. SO FUNNY. Alas, I've been so conditioned to find Mystrade irritating beyond belief that I did a little eyetwitch when it was mentioned Greg & Myc were in cahoots over looking after Sherlock. DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM, GATISS!!!

John's green jacket. Most disgusting item in the John Watson Dorkrobe thus far. And, so help him, he's got a lot in there already.

And basically, the plot was a cross between Rage Infected Monkeys and Scooby Doo, yes? Still, no hoardes of undead sprinting around this time. Phew.

Henry needs to get his security lights fixed. They're no good if they only go on for a second.

John's a Captain! My Inner Martin got all excited. (I may ship Watson/Crieff a little - knowledge that this would be Captain on Captain doesn't help with that)

Baskerville: Millions of Defence funds for what? Useless security who can't even tell when the face on the ID card of an 'inspector' clearly isn't his own, a boss who has YET ANOTHER ridiculously easy to crack password (Attention Villains/Secret Base Staff - use a combination of letters & numbers - NO NAMES)and all to create glowing bunnies? What the Hell are they going to use the bunnies for? How will they ever come in handy?

Did really want Sherlock to point at the minefield & say 'what's that?' for John to reply 'I think that means those mushrooms belong to the people who made the signs, Sir', though.

Jim at the end - Ahahahaha! Why didn't he just draw little hearts around Sherlock's name & have done with it?
