Ninety minutes of pure showmanship. Elementary has filled the gap, but there's nothing like having Sherlock back. I loved the poke at the fans, too. I was laughing in fan (and scholarly) glee at many instances. Such a thorough modern interpretation.
I guess the implication is that Mycroft turned Sherlock into what he is, since the parents are normal.

That's canon about Mycroft according to Doyle but I liked finally seeing it in "action" or is that inaction on his part? The sibling rivalry between the two was one of the highlights of the episode.
I'm glad someone else caught that, it made the whole thing even funnier than it already was.
I wasn't the only one!

What 'horrors' is Mycroft talking about near the end of the episode? Something to do with socializing or something similar? I couldn't quite catch what he said over the phone.

My friend gave me S1-3 of Cabin Pressure while my GAF SS gave me S4 so I've been listening. Loved hearing that accent as it made a comical scene even more so with it.
I was going "WTF?! Sounds like straight up Mega Man right now!" during that sequence. Loved it.
It's a great show. I wish there were more like it out there.

Oh. Is it Les Mis with his parents?

I really wish radio dramas weren't such a rare thing nowadays. They're especially great to listen too when you just want to unwind a bit.
Because he's taken their parents to Les Miserables, and the banality of the show is torturing him. You can hear a famous number from the show as he's talking.
Well, he is the writer of the show after all. Wouldnt you make the character that way too?
Shes busy with her shower head currently.

There's a chance she might have passed out. EDIT: Nevermind. Now I'm more relaxed for her well-being.

Three speeds!
Well, there was shirtless Cumberbatch in the episode, so we know she will be in her bunk for a while.
He is in a world surrounded by goldfish and in this case having to take his parents to les mis which I totally understand

Yeah, after a couple of seasons of Elementary, I think I prefer that version of the character now. Of course, it's not fair since having thirty-something episodes allows them to make Sherlock more of a human being than the small touches we get in a movie that is meant to fill in a two year absence, but that's really not my problem.
I just hope the second episode isn't as pointless and terrible as the middle episodes have historically been.

That part reminded me of Little Favour, which was the short film BC did.
You can buy the film off iTunes if you're so inclined.

OK, that episode was pure fun, they were justly reveling in their long awaited return.
I do hope though, that this means that episodes 2 & 3 are more serious in tone.

I was laughing for 5 minutes straight during that portion.
Still this moment was like: now you look like a proper copper.
(I could participate in RPJ with my Lestrade haircut but nah. Keeping the Rupert avatar instead.)
This. Now it has me thinking there is so much more to Mycroft than what we've seen.
Is Mycroft from the books as well? And does it tell way more about him?

Yes he's in the books and sorta. I think he's honestly more fleshed out in this series than in the books.
I'm more amused by how fast that was reblogged on tumblr (aside from the other gif I linked.
The bro-hug though... Those two are more brotherly than Mycroft & Sherlock are. FEELS...

Yep, Moran really threw me for a loop. Surprised at his em...lack of connection to certain other villains. Also didn't realize he was in Game of Shadows too.
Regarding your spoiler, do you mean the guy at the very end? I can tell you who that's gonna be, but I'm sure you know already.

I am the Cumbergaf running joke. People wanted me to do RPJ, but Sherlock is actually airing again after two years, so I ran with it.
Its canon in the books but I haven't read the original stories in a long time to remember if there is concrete segments that show it other than Sherlock saying it

Man that was great.
His parents were a huge surprise lmao
Sherlock and Watson are cemented as one of the best tv pair ups of all time most definitely

Real Pic January. It's a thing here. Users change their avatars to pics of themselves for the month.
And by Cumbergaf I mean all the fans of Cumberbatch who post on Gaf, I am sorta the running joke of obsessive fan girl.

And apparently he (the older guy) is mentioned in one of the crawls during the news report announcing Sherlock's return on the TV in Anderson's apartment.

I thought it was sweet actually. John's disbelief about them was great too as obviously the Holmes boys are worlds apart from them it seems.

Something else that really made me curious/nervous for the next few episodes was Sherlock's deductions around Mary, with the words "shortsighted" and "liar" being among them. I hope those are just character flaws and not something much deeper or darker.
