What baffles me about the Patroclus and Achilles story is the bit where Patroclus apparently killed another boy in anger when he was a kid, and that was how he ended up at Peleus’s house.

I mean, obviously it worked out and Patroclus grew up to be super kind, but seriously Peleus?

In the sequence of the Rube Goldberg machine in the credits intro, the final event, which releases the cage that falls on the little tin man, is a hammer smashing into the bust of a woman. It bears a striking resemblance to Irene!
The sequence actually mirrors Moriarty’s plan to get to Sherlock: “Breaking” Irene in order to break Sherlock. It also underlines the way in which Irene Adler is an empty shell, a piece of art, and Moriarty’s best forgery to date…

Beautiful.
I need Nicki Minaj to dress up like Jessica Rabbit one day because her figure is so amazingly on point for it, and if anyone can rock that color red, Veronica Lake-style hair, it’s Nicki.
i would loooooooove to hear her version of “why don’t you do right.”
