Tru dat.

Monk was one of those annoyingly effortless US shows, it was awesome.
Quote: playfull @ 6th January 2014, 4:39 PM GMTThat's the thing - she mentioned Hamish so she had to have 'seen' the invitation which -
a) Means that she worked at his house and the murderer could have simply followed her there.
b) She would have known that he had not RSVP'd so he probably wasn't going to the wedding, so why plan an elaborate murder there!?
Thanks playfull. It also brings up the question of why didn't he just kill Crispy Face in his house and make it look like a suicide? PTSD and all that.
The house was in the middle of nowhere, he was a master of disguise, he could break into an army barracks and hide pins in belts. Wait a second...for him to plant the pin in Burny Cheeks uniform, wouldn't he have had to gone to his house? He stated that the uniform was given to him as a prize or whatever.
This thing don't make no fookin sense!
No but you're inane post reminds me of the inane humour of Midsommer Murders.

The photographer stabbed the guardsman while pretending to take a selfie, and stabbed the major while posing him for a wedding photo. Bloody daft. Lucky his victim didn't decide to come to the wedding in a suit like wot normal people do.
What better disguise is there for a military officer trying to disguise himself than a full military uniform with medals.
Something else - I'm pretty sure that any belt tight enough to basically act as a tourniquet (and even prevent internal bleeding) is going to be way too tight to be standard military uniform. Surely you'd need corset-level tightness for that even to be a possibility? And these belts were white - wouldn't the pin have drawn at least a little blood while exiting the wound which would have made the injury apparent? The more I think about the episode the more infuriatingly stupid it is. Did they forget they had to write the series and pull an all-nighter before shooting started?
Why did Sherlock make the silly assumption that because the Wedding Photographer wouldn't be in any photos (taken by himself), meant he was the murderer? If I had paid for a photographer, I wouldn't expect him to be taking selfies all the time!
He'd be the one person there wasa photograph of, would be harder for the police to find?
Also, if the photographer was trying to kill the Major because he'd killed a load of raw recruits in Afghanistan wasn't it a bit odd that he'd practise the murder on an innocent guardsman?

Very good point! Is there any aspect of this episode that actually makes sense?
The guardsman was the corporal who actually lead them

Making a best man speech is probably quite scary.

Yes, it made sense that Sherlock didn't shag the bridesmaid, because his 'sonic screwdriver' doesn't do wood.
