Last night saw a very special episode of Sherlock that, well, confused everyone. And we mean EVERYONE.
The Abominable Bride was a standalone episode that saw Johnlock - that's Sherlock and Watson to uber-fans - in Victorian-era London trying to solve an unusual murder involving a dead man outside an opium den that appears to be a ghost. Yes, really.
Needless to say, the labyrinthine plot had most of Twitter utterly baffled.

This is also accurate. TOO ACCURATE.
I need Cumberbatch and Freeman to stop being so famous so they can make more #Sherlock episodes more quickly

Drugs are bad, but Sherlock doing drugs is also bad. Isn't it?
#Sherlock has just inspired a new generation to take mind-altering drugs. Unless I'm laying in a puddle somewhere and imagined it

Ours is a half-empty shopping centre with a decent Bagel Factory and a Penney's.
My mind palace is just an abandoned quality street tin packed with old rustling wrappers and a few half eaten coffee ones #Sherlock

This is going to be the go-to image for Sherlockians from now on.
