My Thoughts on The Three Students

Is anyone else worried about Watson's drinking? Like throughout the entire episode he is either craving a drink or being drunk/hungover. I wonder if this will be mentioned more later on. With all the Moriarty forshadowing it is very worrying to see Sherlock be put back into a school setting. With Watson longing for his "glory days" from university and Mariana being so over it Sherlock doesn't comment much on the conversation. We know Sherlock got his old principal fired, and that may have been Moriarty but we don't know yet. Seeing Sherlock not only not want to go to this school setting but also not want to give this speech is so real.

I loved the Mariana love in this episode of course. Watson is seeming to get some (maybe negative) development with his drinking. I wonder if there is a reason for his habit as it hadn't been this notable in previous episodes. He also didn't rewrite the speech as he was supposed to. You can hear the part he read out being verbatim the words Sherlock reads througout the episode. Seeing Watson make such irresponsible choices is common, as he isn't as "graceful" as Mariana or Sherlock, but seeing him fumble something he knows is important to his best friend just to go party is notable.

Sherlock's unsteady tone of voice when talking about public speaking is such a contrast to his usually so firm tone. It is very interesting to see this development for him. I loved the little bits and parts of the speech we hear throughout the episode. He sounds so out of his element it is so interesting to see these sides of him. As Sherlock (even to Watson and Mariana) has been such a firm almost constant character to them. His voice is often very steady and flat, and he is very consistent in his routine and mannerisms. Seeing him so vulnerable is interesting not only to us as listeners but to Watson and Mariana as well.

Him not understanding if his experience is abnormal or not is also so real. He is so used to being the outlier that he is concerned about his feelings being rational or just being another thing to distance him. That is such an accurate feeling too, being autistic I also struggle to know if a feeling is typical or divergent. We've had a lovely Watson focused case in Shoscombe Old Place and I am very excited to see a Sherlock based case here. I have loved the epiosode thus far.

Watson probably stands like the man emoji.

Love that John actually has a personality in this podcast and isnt just the "nice" suffering straight guy to Sherlock.

He hates the rich, gets pissed off when an old man is being neglected by his kids, has an annoying habit of rambling/stammering, possible alcholoholic, and hasn't gotten laid since 2019.

He is just as entertaining as Sherlock. Sometimes maybe even a little more.

Plus when he and Sherlock solved a case he made sure to check up on Mercer the Cat at the shelter and gave a whole update on her. Which honestly gives him 100 extra points in my book.

The Three Students Pt 2

I made my brother watch this episode with me and we both liked it alot. He hadn't seen part one but was still able to follow along without it.

He said it was "an exquisite yap session" for what thats worth. Sherlock literally publicly shaming these students is very funny I think. Him making Oliver admit to roleplaying for his alibi but not making any of the other students admit to what they were doing was so dirty. Like then he literally calls him out as being embarassing thats crazy lol.

I love how we were able to get the important clues througout the story. Upon my second listen I was able to hear every important clue as it was given to us (and given to sherlock) and it was very nice. The twist of it being Kaylie was nicely done as well. It make sense and honestly shes so real for that. I commented on my previous post about how Watson's alcoholism should be taken note of. We haven't heard much of Sherlock's drug usage and im sure Watson would want to cut those parts out of the podcast but he didn't cut anything related to it in the earlier episodes. We know Watson rarely cuts anything out of the podcast so it makes no sense why he would start cutting the drug usage out whenever he left it in on previous episodes. How much of Watson's alcoholism is going undocumented? Either way I would like to see more of it. Seeing character flaws and like issues (like his ptsd and drinking) would be very interesting to see. Sherlock's improv speech was very nice. My brother thought it was a nice thing to see him solve a case and explain it in such a way that captivates audiences while teaching his methods. Seeing him get into his zone and regain his confidence was thrilling. During and after the speech he acts as though he is being only entertaining and not teaching and that is so sad. Like the entire time he interjects with comments like "if you gain anything from this" and stuff of that nature. Like how can he truly not believe he is teaching? Does he not see how this narrative style is enlightening? Is it because he sees these things as interesting and not teaching? Idk how to word this properly but he naturally is able to explain and teach in such a way that he himself is not even aware that he is teaching. It reminds me of the og books, the audience learns of how to deduce (like how to tell someone's height by the length of their stride and their shoe size and how too estimate height by seeing where they naturally write on a surface). The stories use narrative to teach in ways that you don't even notice you are learning until you see yourself viewing the world differently.

Like in the beginning of the first part Watson attempts to use Sherlock's methods on Archie. Sherlock unknowingly has taught Watson to be more perceptive and has done so by just explaining his reasonings whenever asked. Sherlock did not intentionally do so to teach Watson to emulate his methods but it is done naturally. Sherlock has a natural teaching ablility. He does so in a way that even himself is not aware he is teaching. He is simply being himself and others are learning from that.

Mariana <3

I've seen a few posts about people saying Mariana is portrayed as a "stereotypical millennial" or like a basic woman and I figured I'd give my takes on that.

People are mad that Mariana likes Harry Potter and Taylor Swift? Like tons of people like those things so what makes that strange? Is it a stereotype or is it just a character that enjoys popular things? Watson likes sports and shit but I don't see people calling him a "stereotypical white man." Why is it the one female lead is being slandered for enjoying popular media but the others aren't?

People don't talk about Sherlock being an autistic stereotype bc his comfort food is a basic pasta. People don't talk about Watson being basic for his taste in media yk. I find it strange that the one female lead is getting these complains but not the others.

Now I can agree with the fact that the creator of Harry Potter is problematic, but that doesn't mean you can hate her as a character for that. In all fairness, Harry Potter is a popular ip and it isn't suprising to hear it mentioned in media. To act like people cannot be a fan of these medias in unrealistic. Same with Taylor Swift it is strange to call her basic for being a fan of a popular media. If you have issues with these medias that is one thing but to hate a fictional character for mentioning/liking them is strange.

Does anyone feel like The Red Circle has a completely different vibe than the other episodes? Like not in a bad way theres just a tone shift i’ve noticed.

I of course love the domestic moments and idk if we are getting more or if I am just noticing more, but the new case is definitely much different than the others.

it being a 4 part case gives us much more room for domestic moments. They don’t need to get RIGHT into the case because they have 3 more episodes to resolve it.

Idk theres just a much different vibe to this case and I can’t place it properly.

Yes i can see this too

Watson is not getting as many ig "serious" moments as opposed to the others. He isn't getting as much development anymore. I cannot tell if this is intentional or not but he seems to just be more present focused as opposed to future focused. He is just thinking about the present and how to have fun or just act in the present and isn't considering the future as much.

He is drinking a lot more too. Hopefully this will be a cool moment to give him proper development and growth. I hope they comment on thsese things in show.

I think I have one issue, albeit small, with Sherlock & Co.

I'm starting to grow tired and frankly a bit annoyed by how John is portrayed in comparison to Sherlock and Mariana.

He's just constantly dumb-ified, doesn't "help", only helps by mistake and complains, and does he really add anything to the adventure any more? Except fancy words once in a while, it's mostly him going against Sherlock and narrating.

Mariana and Sherlock seem to grow further and further away from him. Perhaps, if I were to consider this purposeful, it's John's way to be noticed.

Maybe I'm understanding it wrong, maybe my interpretation is incorrect. But that's how I see it, and I feel that it is important to share different perspectives.

I do not mean any hate to the podcast at all, in fact I love it and follow it every week. It was just a thought.

is the sherlock and co fandom dying im seeing so many less posts than i used to:(

so this is what emptiness feels like.

WIP I'll never finish lol It is a lil sloppy but idk ig its a vibe lol

SPOILERS FOR RED CIRCLE PART 4

This is the second time Sherlock has physically assaulted a suspect. He (similarly to the dancing men) attacks the suspect while listing off their crimes/victims.

It was very nice to see Sherlock's boxing mentioned here too lol. I just found it worth noting that Sherlock seems to vent his frustrations regarding these injustices with physical action (such as choking Abe or brawling Berry)

RED CIRCLE EPISODE 4

Watson slipping and almost falling off the elevator shaft bro.

Sherlock climbing down and supporting their weight. It feels reminicient of the final problem. In the Soviet movies Sherlock survives the fall by clinging onto the side of the drop. Maybe they will do something similar here, as Sherlock has now shown us he is able to

The resident patient has been so good so far omg

I just listened to the second episode and its so good, I can imagine super cool fanworks based off of this one

"Go ahead and die see if I care"

And then he fucking dies lol

Sherlock was goin through it this episode, can't have shit in London smh

Does anyone else feel like the older Sherlock and Co episodes have a different vibe than the newer ones? Not that either are bad they just feel different.

I feel like The Resident Patient has perfectly captured the vibe of the older episodes but I don't know what the common variable is.

I have loved what I've heard of The Resident Patient thus far lol

If anyone knows what it is that makes the more recent episodes tone feel different than the older episodes please let me know At first I thought it was the cases, the amount of muder cases compared to other crimes but I don't know for sure lol

Either way I love Sherlock and Co, this isn't a complaint at all

Sherlock being a fan of Phantom of the Opera means so much to me

Guys this au is so neat we need people seein this

blind sherlock by Em_Maculate on tiktok.
