Awesome things: Elementary | Doctor Who (Twelfth Doctor) parallels

OMG thank you! That drove me up the wall. I screamed WHAT THE HELL!!! I’m on vacay and can’t devote a full post about it. Thank you for speaking for me - guest room indeed!!!

1. Why in the world would Watson refer to Sherlock’s room as “the guest room”?!? Why would Sherlock call it that as well?!?!?!? TWICE! This is not just a writer's mistake: How could Liu and Miller and the director and everyone else on the production crew who spend more time on this set than in their own homes let this travesty happen?

[I've got a few posts dedicated to the question of Sherlock's room, but I'll link to the first, which was sparked by that time the writers referred to this room as his bedroom. Way back in season 1. and I’ll also add that for all the confusion folks have had about Sherlock’s bedroom because the the room that’s obviously his doesn’t have a bed (except that one time it did as discussed in that link), it really doesn’t make sense to me to call a bed-less room “the guest room.”]

2. Why is Sherlock's room still trashed? I don’t mean just the broken doors but also the broken bits of everything on the floor. The s5 finale made it clear that he hallucinated the fire later the same day as Shinwell's funeral, just after Watson finally broke down and confronted him about his behavior. And in 601, she said he'd been avoiding her for weeks since that confrontation. At the very least, while I hope for Ms Hudson’s sake that she’s moved on to better things than being ignored by the show for years, in that case I’d also expect that they would have found someone else to take on that job.

3. When Sherlock said he was going to go to sleep (rather than talk about his reaction to the noise at the construction site) and walked out of the Lock Room, where did he go? We next see Watson contemplating his wrecked room just before Marcus called to tell her Sophie was dead. I have to assume she wouldn't have flipped on the light if he was snoozing among the detritus... For now I'll assume he laid his weary head on the bosom of his true love, the red velvet couch.
