When can we start the new Sherlock thread?

[Simster]

You appear to be strangely attracted to social misfits with no sense of empathy for the human condition?

Is this what Reigate has done to you?

Nothing strange about it, TLO. I do believe we're BOTH guilty of this, in the form of other social media. You know what I mean.

Harsh. But mildly amusing.

I have to say I was slightly underwhelmed by last nights episode, it didn't seem to flow very well and kept flicking from one thing to another. Don't get me wrong, it's still MILES better than anything else on TV at the moment but I don't think it's as good as the last series.

Yup, I didn't much enjoy last nights episode, not as good as the previous ones. Still the best BBC1 program, but then I don't watch anything else on BBC1 as I think the remainder of their output is basically appalling.

It was my first Sherlock last night and I thought it was stunning. Have bought series 1 and 2 from the Beeb shop which shall be deliverd soon.

Just looking at this. Do I go with the American version or start off with the original Scandinavian one? (Then if people talk about it I can go oh ya but the original subtitled one is so much better than the crude souless USA version)

There is a British and French version which looked alright but the original was superb. For my money one of the best shows on TV last year ( along with The Returned, Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire)

Anyone here watch elementary?

Got into this show over the Christmas peroid. Have just about seen all of series 1 now. Really enjoying it so far.

Some Mary speculation ahead of the third episode (includes spoilers for the last two aired episodes)

As good as ever.

I agree - I got a bit fed up with the sentimentality, as well as the lack of flow. I also think that the friendship between Holmes and Watson is never properly illustrated or justified - we hear a lot about how much they love and respect each other etc etc but in practice there's little to base those feelings on, in the script.

But despite all that the production is stunning, the scripts far better than most dramas, and it's very watchable.

 

[Norman Potting]

How good was that?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

How good was that?

Very

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Bloody good!

When is it back?

 

[vegster]

Excellent episode, came back strongly after the wedding mish mash. Did not expect the Mary Watson issue to be dealt with so soon and a fantastic ending to get rid of nasty Mr. Magnusson.
The moment he said that there was " No Vault, it's all in my head " he had sealed his death warrant as when he dies, all his influences and blackmail dies with him and can't be backed up without a paper trail. As for the return of Moriarty, yes we did " Miss " you. great to have him back, hopefully a new series in 18 months to 2 years !

 

[Mellotron]

Andrew Scott's Moriarty is one of my favourite ever villains so I was bloody delighted when that screen went fuzzy - I immediately knew it meant he was BACK. Sherlock NEEDS him.

 

[Luke93]

Nice to see Top Gear's test track making an appearance.

 

[Norman Potting]

As with many other of the other episodes it is worth a "Wiki" to see how much of the original Conan Doyle story is recycled and updated (in yesterday's episode more than I had imagined). The trainspotter within me was overjoyed to see that Leinster Gardens got featured. I love the Sherlock /Mycroft verbal jousting, like naughty schoolboys when caught smoking by their dear old mum.

 

[shaolinpunk]

I was delighted by the episode and indeed the ending. Sherlock needs Moriaty like Batman needs the Joker

 

[Nibble]

Very good episode. Back on form. Pity 'twas the last we'll see of it for some time I imagine. Noticed the little line about moving to a cottage on the Sussex Downs and beekeeping which is indeed what the literary Holmes retired to do, which is going to be in the new film with Ian McKellan.

 

[Mellotron]

Very good episode. Back on form. Pity 'twas the last we'll see of it for some time I imagine.

S4 is definitely on the way, and S5 is being planned out.

Good stuff, the ending of this one certainly promises good things.
