John Noble is Australian. Presumably he'd adopt a similar accent to Sherlock on the show.

Oh man, this is fantastic! This show basically now has almost all my favourite people on it.

They just need to get to work on that Person of Interest crossover and that's it, TV will never be better again.

Or they'll go a little more Sleepy Hollow and he'll turn out to be an actual Lovecraftian horror.

When Sherlock beat Oscar down and grabbed the box I thought he was going to drag Oscar into the tunnel and shoot all the H into him to kill him and we'd have a Sherlock the murderer arc next season. I really hope the writers don't ignore this after 2 episodes next season.

The writers have shown to be pretty good at not forgetting big plot points.

John Noble rules, Fringe ruled, Elementary is the only procedural I like. so this is cool news.

I am really looking forward to seeing where they take this. In a few of the episodes wasn't it implied that father holmes abused sherlock when he was growing?

I always took it that the abuse was more emotional neglect than anything else. Roger Rees' character showed up in Season One as Holmes' way and hammering home to Joan that "Dad won't show."

I've been rewatching some episodes lately and there was one where I think a kid was sexually abused and you see Sherlock at the end emotional and beating the hell out of a punching bag. That is why I thought maybe something darker.

From the way Sherlock describes it, I'm thinking the dad is more of the money is everything neglectful bad dad as opposed to an abuser. I seem to remember Sherlock being at a boarding school for most of his childhood so while that doesn't rule out anything it probably wasn't at the hands of his absent father.

Speaking of the woman is there any news if Natalie Dormer is going to appear next season?

I don't know of any specific news one way or another. That said, she'll almost certainly show up in some form or another. Her "appearance" as a voceover reading her letter in episode 14 was still very effective. I think in many ways Natalie Dormer's lack of availability has worked in the show's favor by removing the temptation to overuse Moriarty - a temptation to which Sherlock clearly succumbed.
