So since Anderson has been pretty well redeemed for us...
Doesn't that mean Sally was right about at least one of her judgment calls - about him?
Note this was from a YEAR ago.
There are lots of things that occur to me far later than they should. The thing about Mrs Hudson that I should have noticed but didn’t was the first one: I’m sure there will be a million more, because I am not particularly detail-oriented, to be honest. This is the second thing I just realized: Sherlock didn’t originally want John to be his assistant. He wanted Anderson to play that role.
Sherlock: Who’s on forensics? Lestrade: Anderson. Sherlock: Anderson won’t work with me.
Not Anderson is an idiot, but Anderson won’t work with me. Sherlock then proceeds to take John along with him to a crime scene, and is remarkably patient and accommodating with him. Why does he do that? Sherlock is neither patient nor accommodating as a general rule. When John deduces only the most obvious and basic details about Jennifer Wilson’s death, Sherlock isn’t scornful at all. Why does he behave this way?
Lestrade: He’s not your assistant. Sherlock: I need an assistant!
We know he doesn’t bring John along for his own innate skills, because when John asks why he’s there, as they’re standing over Jennifer Wilson’s body, Sherlock says, “Proving a point.” He doesn’t really care what John has to offer to the investigation of the crime scene, that’s why he’s not bothered by John’s simple description of the cause of death. That wasn’t the point.
He’s trying to make Anderson jealous.
These two appear to have a tumultuous relationship; they must have argued over bodies before. Sherlock must respect Anderson’s abilities; why else would he want him as an assistant? So Sherlock wants to demonstrate, in the most childish way possible, that if Anderson won’t play ball, he will lock him out altogether. That’s the worst thing Sherlock can imagine: being tantalizingly close to the crime scene and his own dazzling deductions, but not be able to hear them or participate.
So Sherlock slams the door in Anderson’s face. It’s not because noting that Rache is a German word is dumb (It was something that passed through Sherlock’s mind as well, as we know); it’s becauseSherlock is proving his point.
I don’t need you. See? See me not needing you? How do you like that, Anderson? HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? I can deduce the fact that you’re cheating on your wife with Sally, I know what you were doing last night. See? Aren’t I good? That’s how good I am. You want to be my assistant, Anderson, don’t you. You need to, because I’m dazzling and you need to watch me. If you ask really nicely I might let you act as my assistant next time. I just might.
Sherlock doesn’t realize at that point that the perfect assistant for him is John. Anderson won’t fire a bullet with the steadiest of hands through a window for him. Anderson won’t help him behave appropriately in social situations and smooth out the rough edges of his interactions. Anderson may admire Sherlock’s abilities, but he’d never say so out loud. Anderson will never love him. John’s arrival utterly alters the job description of “assistant” for Sherlock. We never hear the word “assistant” again, in fact (to my knowledge).
Sherlock’s reactions toward Anderson, and all the negative things he has to say about him thereafter, appear, in this light, to be more a reaction to Anderson’s rejection of Sherlock than any scornfulness about his abilities.
Sherlock has the emotional life of a nine year old.
Love, experience, happiness. From tumblr's lips to God's ears, yeah?
This bodes so not good.
FYI This is the preview of the last track on the Series 3 Sherlock Soundtrack. I’ll leave you to your deductions.

UNLOCKING SHERLOCK Premieres Sunday, January 12, 2014, 10:00 P.M. ET on PBS
Available for streaming on PBS.org on Wednesday, December 25, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. ET
− Go behind the scenes of the new “Sherlock” and watch interviews with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman −
ARLINGTON, VA; December 20, 2013 –Leading up to the long-awaited return of MASTERPIECE “Sherlock” (Season 3) on January 19 at 9:58 p.m. ET, PBS today announced the premiere of UNLOCKING SHERLOCK, a one-hour special that explores how writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss created the hit television sensation. UNLOCKING SHERLOCK premieres Sunday, January 12, 2014, at 10:00 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings). As a special holiday gift for Sherlock fans, PBS will make the program available for streaming on PBS.org beginning Wednesday, December 25, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. ET.
“As excitement builds for the new season of ‘Sherlock’ on MASTERPIECE, we invite viewers to join us as we delve into the writers’ inspiration for the modern-day Sherlock Holmes that has captivated fans nationwide,” said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager of General Audience Programming for PBS. “This special highlights the transformation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most-portrayed character into a cultural phenomenon.”
UNLOCKING SHERLOCK takes viewers on a personal voyage through the versions of Holmes that have served as inspirations for the new series – the original stories, their factual origins, hundreds of film adaptations – to arrive at their thoroughly modern Sherlock. Moffat and Gatiss explain the challenges they encountered adapting the original adventures of the iconic super-sleuth. The special goes behind the scenes on the set of the hit television series, and includes interviews with actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Lara Pulver, who talk about the reinvention of their fictional characters.
Moffat and Gatiss describe the evolution of Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, Mycroft, Jim Moriarty and Irene Adler, as well as Holmes, from Conan Doyle’s original characterizations, through numerous cinematic and televised versions to the contemporary “Sherlock.”
UNLOCKING SHERLOCK is a Midnight Oil Production in association with Hartswood Films for BBC Worldwide and PBS. The special is executive produced by Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films and Gillane Seaborne for Midnight Oil Productions. [x]

Happy Christmas to us!
I looked on the BBC website for the time of Christmas episode. is it an actual episode or something just on I-player?
It’s a red button mini episode. That means for those in the UK once it goes live they’ll be able to access it by pressing the red button on their remote controls. It will also no doubt go live on-line at the same point although not clear if it will be region locked (I dont think the Doctor Who one was). I’m sure people will tweet when it goes live but understandably its Christmas Day so I wont be spending it on twitter ;)
Edit: Apparently moved up & now going live on Christmas Eve
From what little I know, I like them more together than I do separately. They seem like they'd be awesome to hang out with.

I've been thinking this too, to my surprise.
I’m just warning you now, I think I’m going to explode with adoration and complete love for Amanda Abbington soon. From what I’ve seen from her so far, she already had my heart. Like, I’m probably going to favor her above all the cast.
I FEEL IT IN MY BONES.
