I'm a professional transcriptionist so I know how much work goes into these. Amazed by your dedication. I always discover things that I missed during my viewings.

I'm surprised "Just tell me when to cough." didn't get one of your exclamation points. Seems like that joke has passed over the entire fandom as I have yet to see any discussion at all of it.

not the entire fandom! my post on the subject has quite a few notes:

I'm so thrilled that Part 2 was posted today, because you made my (birth)day! I adore all attention to detail and the extras you give (ie: the "tsks tsks" to the production crew, that St. Caedwalla is the patron saint of serial killers, etc.) You help me enjoy "Sherlock" so much more...big thanks for your generosity amazing work!

PS: what does that even imply, when Mrs. Hudson says she's "not a civilian"?!?!?

[arianedevere]

Actually, when one of my betas told me who St. Caedwalla was, I included it as a 'nod' to the cleverness of choosing that name! It's only a shame that it's "repentant" serial killers but I still thought it was a clever name to use.

I too was puzzled by Mrs Hudson saying she's not a civilian, and haven't yet worked out what she meant.

I'm glad that the transcript helped you have a good birthday.

It confused me as well - I think she means that she's one of Sherlock's "team" and so she relies on him for crime solving instead of the law the way the common folks do?

[kalypso_v]

Yes, that was how I understood her - that she's one of the gang (almost one of a superhero class) and thus has short cuts to achieving her aims.

the "almost" handshake

[ext_3972085]

SHERLOCK: Look at me. Can’t do it, not now. Not alone.
(He looks away and swallows, his eyes slightly tearful. John sighs slightly, then unfolds his arms and holds out his right hand towards Sherlock, pulling in a sharp breath through his nose. Sherlock stands up, also sighing a little, and takes his hand. Instantly John clasps Sherlock’s hand with his other hand and turns it over. Sherlock rolls his eyes as John pushes up the sleeves of his dressing gown and shirt to reveal all the dark marks on the underside of his arm where he’s been injecting himself.)

Is it worth noting that this was filmed in such a way that the viewer has the impression John is offering a handshake to indicate he will join forces with Sherlock and that part of Sherlock's exasperation when he rolls his eyes includes disappointment because he too, for just a moment, thought John was offering a handshake. (Or is that painfully obvious to all?)

There are so amazing. YOU are so amazing. Just stopping by this morning, trying to remember that bit where Sherlock says he's against new people, thinking about how many people are doing the same thing. THANK YOU! The amount of work that goes into this....well, it's very much appreciated. M.
