This was GORGEOUS. Off hand, my favourite scene in the special.
This was such a beautiful antecedent to the information gathering process Sherlock showed us in HOB. Our extraordinary Consulting Detective!
Favourite scene. That was clever. Loved the sheet of paper he didn’t grab at once. 📃

sherlock & vicki
Sherlock’s face during this entire scene was priceless.
If I don’t reblog Vicky I’m probably dead.
I love how, at every turn, Sherlock is thrown, even if just for a moment, by Vicki’s answers. He knows that somehow she fits the pattern, but she’s challenging all of his immediate perceptions of what the pattern is. She’s not, by her exterior, immediately deduce-able (though I imagine after a half second of thought Sherlock’s response is always, “Oh, yes, obvious.” I love that this woman is presented on the surface as older (and still single, oh the horror!), with wrinkles and roots showing, working a “menial” job as a maid, and not only is she the kinkiest and perhaps most self-analytical woman in the bunch (I STILL want to hear all 10 of her Ideal Man criteria) but also the outlier and the continual wrench in each of Sherlock’s theories.
I will never not want to know more, see more and hear more from Vicki.
I would like a whole show about Vicki plzkthx.
❤
Vicki!!
I also like that the show doesn’t seem to be laughing *at* Vicky for being kinky and middle aged, etc. She’s very clearly winning at life.
