It just seemed a little odd that they suddenly equated 'a book everyone would own' with 'a book people in London are likely to own'. But as I say, it is a show set in London, and the operatives were London operatives - maybe different A-Zs are used for people in different counties. And yeah, it's a good thing Sherlock just happened to be passing by a couple with the correct kind of map for him to need to use, at the right moment. Haha.
I was REALLY CONFUSED about why he didn't just move her chair out of the way. With her, yeah, you could argue she was just too terrified to be able to move, but with him and his apparently brilliant mind, it was hard to imagine why it didn't occur to him. And he decided to mess about with the knots while being nearly strangled instead. It's a shame when they mostly make his massive intelligence really quite believable in the show.
I think they knew people who know a bit about Sherlock Holmes canon might assume it was Moriarty - all that talk about him being dangerous and Sherlock considering him his 'arch-nemesis' - and I thought that myself. So I think they were playing up the potential foe-yay a bit - but then it sort of made equal sense when you found out they were brothers. As I say, I quite liked it because it was one of the big twists I didn't see coming :D A few people on my friendslist twigged that it was Mycroft from the start though, they said.
Have you been watching Emmerdale recently, by the way? There's a few more cast spoilers come out in the last week or so, regarding the Lamb-Wylde plotline.
