Today there is a lot of buzz about Sherlock's "mind palace" that appeared in The Hound of the Baskerville's when he figured out the significance of HOUND and Liberty. Reading about it, it seems quite similar to the houses I encounter in my dreams. We humans love to categorize and cubiclize things, don't we? Did you like the way the mind palace was portrayed, and all the little bits of text that flash on the screen when they're texting or blogging or whatever?

I do, when it's a little bit here and there, but the mind palace was overdone IMO.  It reminded me too much of Tom Hanks' Langdon character in The DaVinci Code.  It also ran afoul of Sherlock's earlier statement that he "thinks better when I talk aloud".  I would have liked to have heard his mental processes, not see him doing strange hand signals in the air to special effects.

Major SPOILERS ahead...


Okay, I think I've figured out how Sherlock carried out the impossible leap. He had Molly locate a recently dead corpse who fit his general body type and then had her make a mask of his face and apply it to the corpse. He also had her haul the corpse up to the roof of the place where he had arranged the confrontation with Moriarty. And then it was a snap to throw the corpse over the ledge of the roof. What do all the die-hard Sherlock fans think?
