How Sherlock Survived a Cardiac Arrest

The Most Miraculous Thing

The medical explanation I am about to give for Sherlock’s survival is nowhere near as uplifting or exhilaration as watching Sherlock struggling out the steps of his mind palace with the sheer determination to live for John. If you want to keep thinking about Sherlock’s “revival” as a miracle of love and a testimony to our

Re: Wedding date

This is more than likely a moot point, as the post and responses are from February...but, just in case, and if there's still questions surrounding the timeline: The wedding took place on May 18th, per the invitation, which was shown when the Sherlock was remembering no one knew John's middle name (other than Irene), but that it was on the invitation.

John's blog, however, contradicts this as Sherlock's entry about the wedding is shown as August. I see this as a continuity error made by the blog writer and one that should be amended.

The timeline is very clear throughout the whole season, however, it takes some specific (i.e. obsessed) focus to track. ;) For example, we learn about the Lady Smallwood case at the beginning of HLV, but Sherlock actually began that case shortly after his return in November. It's not 'in your face' obvious, but viewed through Anderson's television during the announcement "The Hat Detective Lives." It's there we learn Magnussen is summoned before a Parliament committee hearing, which then caused Lady Smallwood, knowing of Sherlock's return, to seek out his help.

As always, this is an excellent meta, and one I thoroughly enjoy reading and learned. Thank you!
