We all know this rumor has been around since Sherlock’s third season finale when Mycroft mentioned “the other one” when talking about brotherly affection.
But now, this rumor is on again and even stronger. I’ve been reading about it almost everywhere. Just Google “Hiddleston Sherlock# and you’ll see. I do hope this is true. Honestly. Because I’ve listed the Pros and Cons and I’ve came up with the logical conclusion. Let’s see:
PRO
The 3rd Holmes brother isn’t canon. He was mentioned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in any of his stories. So it would be something new and surprising for fans.
CON
The 3rd Holmes brother isn’t canon. He was mentioned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in any of his stories. So it might make fans of the books angry.
PRO
Imagine all the attention and new viewers that Hiddles might bring to the show. Not that it needs it, really, but it would be fun.
CON
An A-lister might attract too much attention to his person instead to the show. But, honestly, who cares in this case?
PRO
A 3rd Holmes brother would make a very interesting, funny and compelling plot line.
CON
We might like the storyline and the character a little too much and then, when it ends. We’d be sad.
PRO
It’s freaking Tom Hiddleston!!!
CON
Ehhmmmm…
PRO
Imagine having Hiddles in a TV series!!! Even if it’s just for 3 episodes!!!
CON
Ehhmmm…
PRO
Seeing Hiddleston and Cumberbatch on screen together would be epic
CON
Can’t really think of any other cons…
