The image of everyone just staring at a completely spaced-out Holmes waiting for him to get out of the carriage is so funny to me. Watson finally nudged him and he about jumps out of his skin and then looks at his audience of assembled (and impatient) murder investigators and goes “Oh, sorry guys. I was just daydreaming :)”
Colonel Ross has got to be wondering what the heck sort of detective they called in for this case.
Meanwhile Watson’s like “He must have found a clue. I can tell because his eyes are sparkly ❤️”
Have I mentioned I love these stories?

Make sure to hire voice actors who deliver the deranged list of fake 1891 London newspapers your showrunners came up with in a creative fugue state with all the import of a Shakespearean soliloquy.
Kudos to Chris Vizurraga (James Stallion), fucking professional.
(we paused the take so he could redo it as many times as he needed and he said nah i'm just gonna nail it in one but thanks)

you CANNOT read too much old timey fiction because I was playing Raft with the lads this morning and without a THOUGHT said we could sail over to another island "if the wind would consent to blow" & let me tell you. This did not pass by unremarked.

I personally tend to not really be interested in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations HOWEVER I do think there's comedic potential in the Holmes Brothers having access to text messages.

No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.

Change a single letter and change the word game
I want to play a game with you all.
You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.
