Sentinel X I think that door was pretty fragile because I just tried doing that to my door and now my shoulder hurts like a bitch lol.

[@artmyb]

He was steady just before slamming and was very close to the door, in the process his body wasn't really tilted, which is needed to accelerate in such a small path to a high speed to slam a locked door. Also altough we heard a fairly long pulse of noise relative to an instant breaking of a lock, the door didn't show a vibration or unexpected movement to support that noise. Conclusion: door was already open, Benedict moderately pushed to open it and the noise was artificially generated. Just turn off the sound and watch the part. you'll see that that scnerio is pretty consistent. Benedict moderately pushes the already open door and opens it.

Love this scene so much. Sherlock's pissed off the whole time with John for referring to him as a colleague instead of a friend.

[@1TrueJuliet]

When did he show that? He seems fine, now.

[@joanholmes4425]

I think this is when you've got to read between the lines. Hadn't Sherlock been regarding him semi-kindly in the previous part of this episode? Then after John claimed that he was his colleague, Sherlock suddenly stopped opening doors for him to enter through (so much that he almost got killed?). And when John refused to look inside the suitcase, he seemed a bit more critical more than usual (like he's allowing John to discover the clue himself, rather than providing him with answers). It could be more that they're not that used to working with each other, but then you can't say that John had willingly killed a man for him, only to be rewarded with hostility. I wouldn't have expected for them to be buddies right then and there, but there has to be a development after you've killed for someone you barely knew. Case in point, Sherlock had been upset about being regarded as a co-worker rather than a friend, and he was sulking through the majority of it.

[@victoriahernandez2104]

Atulya Dhar Kinda teaches us how to observe 😉 A+

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Really would have been nice if we had seen the bits of information which Sherlock sees. Literally the reason Sherlock comes across as so smart is that it literally doesn't give us a chance to see, and miss, what he sees. Would also have been nice to wrap up more on the gun having it 1) not been fired and 2) have it by his left side when he died. We aren't given the chance to see what Sherlock sees just treaded like idiots from the start and not allowed to try and piece things together. Take the buzzer for example, the flat above him was new but we could have just had the shot of him pushing the buzzer be a slightly wider shot showing a bunch of names and the new label. Little things which show us information without straight up declaring "this is important" but then having Sherlock use this noticed information to his advantage. Instead we don't get to see that and have Sherlock pull it out of the air and us going "wow he saw something we literally didn't get a chance to see". I know the point of Sherlock is he sees things we don't but literally not showing us things doesn't make for a good story telling

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

This is a great explanation of why this Sherlock series falls flat. Also, a gun is really easy to use off-handed. He may have been left handed, but still use the weapon with his right hand. The facts that Sherlock states don't immediately point to murder either.

[@IrregularPineapples]

that's the point -- the genius writing is that his explanations are so plausible and convincing -- the fact that we don't see don't see every detail beforehand is irrelevant

[@IrregularPineapples]

@@HelenaOfDetroit you're as dumb as wet sack of rocks -- this series is about a detective -- deductive reasoning, there are no coincidences, plausible narratives etc etc

Doing a person in 3D animation is not as real as the actor, and it’s much more work. Look at the Hound of Baskerville, the hound was made in a 3D animation. It’s not really real... In fact, putting a 3D character on a movie with real actor, looks kinda weird. But for the Hound, it wasn’t. Why cause, if you seen this episode, the hound was an apparition after taking drugs. So, it was more like a sort of dream. Using an unreal character in this part, even if it doesn’t look good, was a better idea than use a real dog. It’s just my opinion, and I’m 3 years late. So you probably don’t even know what I’m talking about
