Submission Re: John "Three Continents" Watson
“This is actually an almost direct quote, from The Sign of the Four, where it referred to John as such in his army days. It is actually stated that he had ‘relations’ with women on each of the three continents.”
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. And the exact words “three continents” were used regarding his experience with the ladies, but nobody ever...
you-could-have-prevented-this asked: Why is John sometimes called John Three Continents Watson?
Anonymous asked: In a lot of Fan fiction, they reference John falling in to the Thames. Is this a piece of fanon, something from ACD!canon, or just a coincidence?

Grumplock
Another in a long line of memes consisting of a word with the suffix -lock tacked on, Grumplock describes a photo of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock as he crosses the street with an exaggeratedly miffed look on his face. The shot is taken from the pilot episode version of Sherlock’s “A Study in Pink,” specifically the “pretend drunk” scene near the end, and the odd...

Sharklock (Sherlock is a Hammerhead Shark)
This meme is based - in the vague, general sense that all memes are “sort of” based on a piece of canonical material - on this interview with Benedict Cumberbatch about preparing for the role of Sherlock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1QuOkg6N-M. As well as on general observations about how prominent his cheekbones are, to the extent, apparently, of making him look like a hammerhead...

The Emergency Comb
This meme gained momentum only in the last two to three weeks, and it may be short-lived, but there are enough examples of it that it can be easily explained. As per this meme, Sherlock carries an “emergency comb” around so that he can preen his hair (for John’s benefit) even on the fly. The existence of such a comb was presumed when fans noticed that even between two consecutive...
Anonymous asked: My question is fairly simple: Why all the Sherlock hammerhead sharks? I've seen them everywhere, but every attempt to find out their origin has failed. Explanations please?
aginghipsterking-deactivated201 asked: Throwing my two cents in that I love the RDJ movie but do not find it comparable to Sherlock, they're too different.
deastrumquodvicis asked: Just wanted you to know that I find this blog educational. I didn't even know that BBC Sherlock and bees were a thing. It explains so much. (I am incapable of running with a meme for the sake of running with a meme--I need to Know.) In short, I UNDERSTAND! Sort of. People confuse me. Cracky people especially. XD There is so much Sherlock in me it's probably clinical.
Anonymous asked: What do BBC Sherlock Fans think of the Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr., which was released in 2009 (A year before BBC Sherlock began), and how prevalent is the movie in Sherlock internet fandom?

Sherlock Loves Bees
Though there is generally more subtlety to this meme than others, it is arguably one of the “oldest” Sherlock memes, as it is based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle canon and long-time Sherlock Holmes fans have been making reference to it for decades. The origin of the meme is in the Sherlock Holmes story “His Last Bow,” in which Doyle reveals that Sherlock, in his retirement...
