Line 36:
{{quote| ''Hamish. John Hamish Watson. Just if you're looking for baby names.''}}
* [[Destination Defenestration]]: The fate of {{spoiler|the American [[Mook]] who threatened to shoot John and beat up Mrs Hudson}}. Multiple times over, if Sherlock is to be believed.
* [[Did You Actually Believe?]]: {{spoiler|Subverted when Sherlock proves Irene's infatuation with him was real.}}
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: {{spoiler|Dinky little painted boomerangs sold to tourists don't come back, however you throw them.}}
** {{spoiler|No, you can get returning dinky little boomerangs. It's doubtful that they'd give you anything more than a bad bruise but they do return. Sort of.}}
** {{spoiler|If you slow down the episode enough, the boomerang actually hits him more in the throat or the side of the neck. It makes death-by-dinky-little-boomerang (which looks a little more like wood instead of thin plastic) more believable, but creates a plothole when Irene said he had a "bashed-in head."}}
* [[Distracted
** {{spoiler|And possibly Irene. ''Maybe'' Sherlock.}}
* [[Dominatrix]]
Line 58:
** Sherlock obtains Irene's phone at Christmas but doesn't examine it until spring, which makes no sense. Also, shortly thereafter, Irene says he's had her phone for six months.
** The entire Pakistan scene, while fun, is nonsensical - among other things, there's no reason for the characters to be there.
* [[Fun
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: "He fell out of a window." Cut to {{spoiler|John patching up Mrs Hudson's injuries when something falls from the direction of Sherlock's window with a loud ''WHUMP''}}.
{{quote| '''Mrs Hudson:''' Oh! That was right on my bins!}}
* [[Girl
* [[Held Gaze]]: Between Irene and Sherlock in the space of two very short scenes, leading to John's [[Deadpan Snarker]] moment above.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Sherlock for about five days, after {{spoiler|identifying Irene's body at the morgue}}.
** Mycroft gets a ''major'' one after {{spoiler|receiving Moriarty's text message. He is so upset he actually ''takes off his jacket''}}.
* [[Hit Me Dammit]]: Sherlock asks John to punch him in the face, as part of his disguise on first meeting Irene Adler. When John hesitates, Sherlock provokes him by hitting him first. [[Pint
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: "If I wanted to look at naked women I'd borrow John's computer."
{{quote| '''John''': You do borrow my computer.}}
Line 95:
** Really obscure one: John's blog counter is broken, and always says 1,895 hits. The last line of the poem "221B" by Sherlockian Vincent Garrett is "And it is always eighteen niney-five".
* [[Naked First Impression]]: Irene's 'battle dress' renders the [[Sherlock Scan]] useless… {{spoiler|until he figures out the password to her safe from her measurements}}.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|In wanting to one-up (or show off to) Irene Adler, Sherlock accidentally wrecks an [[MI 6]]-CIA joint counterterrorism operation. Moriarty was certainly thankful, though.}}
* [[No Sell]]: Irene, being naked, can't be "read" by Sherlock, and he in turn is resistant to her full-court press of seduction. {{spoiler|Still, her naked body does make an impression on him, and if the viewer watches closely, he does manage to insult her while he's explaining the crime.}}
* [[Not So Harmless]] / [[Tranquil Fury]]: Sherlock, upon realising that 221B has been broken into and the Americans have {{spoiler|kidnapped and beaten Mrs Hudson}}.
Line 105:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Sherlock ''apologises'' for once. To Molly Hooper, of all people.
** The look on John's face is PRICELESS.
* [[Precision F
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Firstly to Sherlock from Mycroft's men (politely) and Mycroft himself (not so politely). Secondly to Irene from John.
* [["Previously On..."]]: The second season begins with a [[Aspect Montage|montage]] of clips from the pool scene in "The Great Game" with juxtaposed voices.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Sherlock gets an accidental one in the middle of Buckingham Palace, thanks to Mycroft's vindictiveness.
{{quote| '''Mycroft:''' This is a matter of national importance. ''Grow up!''<br />
Line 113:
'''Mycroft:''' Or what?<br />
'''Sherlock:''' …Or I'll just walk away! }}
* [[Shout
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Mrs Hudson, of all people.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Invoked. By Sherlock. In Buckingham Palace.
Line 123:
* [[Visual Pun]]: When John is complaining about Mycroft's penchant for sending anonymous black cars to take him to meetings in strange places, he accuses Mycroft of having a "bloody stupid power complex". Cut to the location of the latest meeting: Battersea Power Station.
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste|Woman of Wealth and Taste]]: Irene Adler not only has a large house and enormous wardrobe, but her smartphone is a Vertu Constellation Quest, with a price tag of £17,300. She wasn't fighting to get it back just for its contents.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: {{spoiler|Of course not.}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Come on, you know ''every'' episode of this show is a [[Wham! Episode]].
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Molly gives Sherlock one after he's terribly rude to her in public, ''again''. [[Pet the Dog|He actually apologises.]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Irene to Sherlock.
