Warning: POSSIBLE SPOILER: Based on speculation about Season 4 of BBC Sherlock based on trailers.
“I think the steak and kidney pie. What say you, Watson?”
“I say that you go directly from ‘miraculous recovery from melodramatic wasting disease’ to ‘death by grievous gastrointestinal assault.’ For goodness sake, Holmes, start with a consommé!”
“I shan’t. The claret and biscuits had a negligible effect. And you’re wrong.”
“About?”
“It being melodramatic. Melodramatic would’ve been going blind.”

And I try and avoid the Sherlock fandom as much as possible - I enjoy a lot of the fanfiction but I find the actual fandom terrifying ^^"
