Sherlock Series 4 Prediction UPDATE

Well. I watched episode 2. By the end of it, it appears not to be any direct connection to Moriarty. Not sister, nor wife, nor Moriarty with a sex change.

Now being a 3rd Holmes sibling is a weird direction to take. I didn't know there was one. And yes, why can't it be a sister not a brother. Maybe this one had a sex change.

Remember though, this is Sherlock Holmes, red herrings are often there, throwing us off the scent. There is one more episode to go. I am arrogantly sticking to my guns. I still think it is a Moriarty relative.

Tomorrow night we should find out. More to the point, I will find out if my scooby doo powers of deduction is any good.

Right or wrong, I enjoy the guess the storyline challenge. And will continue to post my guesses. Mind you, if I'm always wrong, I might change my mind. There's only so much self embarrassment I can take.

Coconut

Anyone who really knows me, knows I detest coconut.

I can detect it in any foods given to me. My wife hates this, especially when buying curry or other cooking sauces. Searching jars ingredients labels. She can say, it isn't in the sauce, I will argue it is. My tongue can sense the bits. As a superpower, its shit.

I can't help myself but I have to prove I'm right. So I always get the jar and look at the ingredients. Realise I can't read the small poxy writing on the label so have to hunt  for my glasses. I've never failed yet. One day, my detector tongue will make a mistake, but not yet.

Last night, I washed my hands with hand-wash from the dispenser. I thought I could smell coconut. I shuddered. I yelled for my wife, 2 rooms away, asking if she bought coconut hand-wash. No. She reckoned it was Honey and Milk. Small banter occurred. I wasn't convinced. I was positive she had bought coconut , and on purpose. I rooted around the bathroom drawers. Found the bottle. Damn, she was right, it says Honey and Milk. Still not convinced, I check the ingredients. Aha. Nope, the word coconut isn't listed.

Why. Why. Why can I still smell horrible coconut?

I re-examine the label. And look up  Cocamidopropyl betaine. Check out the picture attached. I rest my case. Goodnight.

Sherlock Series 4 Prediction

I decided to blog this instead of twitter in case I spoil Sherlock for anyone who hasnt seen New Years Day's episode yet.

So be aware there will be a small spoiler in it.

So, alot is being made of Moriarty (and his Miss Me messages) in this episode, even though he doesnt appear in it. Or does he?

Further along in the episode, Dr Watson meets a mysterious woman on a bus. She gives him her mobile number out of the blue, and some texting goes on between them. After he tries to stop all contact with her, there is another "chance" meeting at a bus stop.

Now, who is she?

Well, this is where my new writing head has started looking into storylines in detail, something I never used to do. Looking for crumbs and exanding them into possible ideas.

Crumbs so far. Moriarty mentioned alot. This woman appears. I see a connection between the two.

1) Employee of Moriarty
2) Sister of Moriarty
3) Wife of Moriarty
4) Moriarty himself, somehow survived, and had a sex change.

I personally think it could be 3) but I would be more impressed if it was 4)

As a connection to Moriarty, she (he), could start messing with Dr Watson, in a tactic to challenge Sherlock.

The more I think of it, the more it makes sense to me.

So lets see. Have I cracked the background storyline of this series's Sherlock? (PS I'm British, I refuse to call it a season)
