* Perhaps crosses over with [[HarsherInHindsight]] as well as [[FridgeHorror]]. But during the pool scene, Sherlock's mocking Moriarty by paraphrasing Jimmy Saville's television gimmick. As of recent, Jimmy Saville is very much a reputed depraved monster and has rather dark habits have been brought out into the light many times over since his death. One can't help but think that Sherlock Holmes knew of Jimmy Saville's depraved acts, knew of the twisted monster that man was (and no doubt considering that Moffat's Sherlock is a near 1:1 transplant of the original ACD Sherlock, with one of his traits being 'Knowledge of Sensational Literature – Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century'). During the time of The Great Game (circa 2010), Jimmy Saville was close to death, passing away in 2011. One year before the ITV documentary was released. Sherlock was making far more deliberately deeper jabs at Moriarty than noting the superficial similarity of the two Jims.

Changed line(s) 288 (click to see context) from:
* The previous episode brought up how Sherlock failed to win a game of ''Cluendo'' (the British version of TabletopGame/{{Clue}} because he kept insisting that Mr. Black was not murdered but committed suicide. He says it's "the only logical solution" and when John tells him the rules never say that, he snaps "then the rules are wrong!" While it's funny, it also shows how Sherlock's ComplexityAddiction is so huge that he can't accept a simple board game can be straightforward, there ''must'' be some deeper mystery. Given all that, it's no shock Sherlock falls hook, line and sinker for Moriarty's entire "fake hacking bug" scam because to him, Moriarty creating a hacking device with an intricate musical note formula is more logical than him just bribing people to open the door. Just as Moriarty figured, Sherlock's obsession how "you always want everything to be so clever" allowed him to fall into his trap.
