My Mum is the Internet

I've gotten Mum into Sherlock, and watching with her is great. She talks to the TV and makes all the same guesses as I did my first time through. She was totally confused by the ending of Scandal ("but why did he save her?") but my favourite reaction so far was during Baskerville.

Mum: Sherlock's driving?!

I heard someone mention that Sherlock was "repaying a debt" when he saved her, since Irene called off Moriarty in the pool scene. Remember the phone call Moriarty received, and then Irene was seen walking back to the bedroom while hanging up her phone? Personally, I rather like that explanation.

And hee! Everyone's so shocked to see Sherlock driving anywhere. ^_^

I think everyone was rather shocked that Sherlock was driving! I was worried his attention would wander and so would the vehicle.

My mother watched the first series of Sherlock and didn't like it much; she stuck out the second for the first two stories and then skipped "Reichenbach." Good grief! I thought we would finally have a show in common, but no!

Sherlock driving continues to be the biggest twist this show has ever offered to us.

Ha, I had the same reaction to Sherlock driving--even the creators said of course John should be driving, it's just that Martin doesn't know how, lolol!
