Line 20:
 
=== Holmes has ADHD. ===
The utter chaos that we see inside his head during the restaurant scene, for example.
* Also in the ballroom scene in the second film where he's dancing with Sim:
{{quote|'''Sim''': What do you see?
'''Sherlock''': Everything...it is my curse. }}
 
=== A future Sequel will involve [[World War OneI]] and the Germans ===
In large part because [[Author Appeal|I have been waiting for a good adaption to it]], but mostly because it would fit the pace of the new series.
* But Holmes would be pretty old by then, don't you think? World War One began in 1914, whereas Holmes' endeavors ended that same year.
Line 34:
 
=== Moriarty is involved with the German government and General Staff ===
In the [[Imperial Germany|German Empire]], the General Staff was practically the shadow government, more powerful than civilian administration, with no legal obligation to give any explanation on how funds were used, responsible only to the Emperor himself, very aggressive and determined to have their way at all cost. They invested heavily in espionage, military research and collaborated closely with industrial barons. Moriarty bought or acquired by other means Meinhard's factory, which is guarded by [[Elite Mooks|men with obvious military training, discipline and knowledge of modern heavy weaponry]], most of them, at least those whose faces are closely shown, being middle-aged, old enough to have been veterans of [[Franco -Prussian War|the war of 1871]]. It would be nearly impossible to run this without involvement of the General Staff and their unofficial permission.
 
=== Someone in the production crew is a troper ===
Line 86:
** Mycroft is a [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] for one of the most mysterious parts of the British intelligence system, and quite actively lazy (even in the books, if I recall correctly). I took it to mean that his carrying a personal oxygen tank was simply a sign of his eccentricity, the way a modern version of him might carry an asthma inhaler with 32 gigabytes of memory and a temple massager, or, yes, some rich/famous people hire someone to follow their entourage with an oxygen tank in case they feel like taking a hit off of it to spruce up their thinking ability. That does not invalidate the possibility that other guests took the same precaution, be they for similar or more practical reasons (the latter being primarily tight waist cinches and thin air, especially in an environment with dancing and dramatics). Also, <ref> "An example that is almost completely spoilered out doesn't work very well as an example."</ref>.
 
=== The next movie will take place in the [[Sherlock Holmes in Thethe Twenty Second22nd Century|22nd Century]] ===
And Holmes will not be a [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]] due to him being from an era of [[Steampunk]]. Of course he will miss Watson
