I forgot to say this when I made my first post...

Thank you DLP for bringing this awesome tv show to my attention. You glorious faggots always help me find the best of the best and watching a show getting rave reviews here ensures I will enjoy the shit out of it.

 

Agree with everything but the faggot part. We are glorious though xD.

 

Sorry posted in the wrong thread.

 

well that isn't in the wrong thread at all.

 

Seems that people at CBS are still going with their Holmes series and casted Jonny Lee Miller as the main character. A funny fact is that he recently played in Danny Boyle’s stage version of Frankenstein where he was alternating roles of the doctor and the monster between performances with no other but Benedict Cumberbatch.

This also means that the role of Watson is now down to three actors: Ian Holm, John Krasinski and Simon Jones.

 

It's coming! it's coming!

And there's a preview up..

 

Uh... I'm pretty sure that episode already aired...

 

Not in the United States.

Us Colonists haven't had the pleasure of watching Sherlock on TV. I guess that's what happens when you live out in the boondocks.

So say we all.

 

That was my favorite episode of the season. The last was good, but of course they had to throw a cliffhanger in. And the first one was just too convoluted.

 

You have an internet connection right? Problem solved.

 

Thing is, this is a Sherlock that's still finding his stride and perfecting his art, instead of the usual depiction of him in his prime. So while it adds a very welcome dose of originality to a much-redone franchise, it puts a shelf life on how much development is possible until he reaches the stagnation of perfection, if you'll forgive the pseudopoetic turn of phrase. And honestly, once he's beaten Moriarty - THE nemesis of the franchise - there's not much left for him to do. And the British, unlike the Americans, tend to be very ready to put a series to bed if it's story's fully told, instead of wringing a few more seasons out of it.

So there's a very real possibility that the third season will be the last. Though there is a possibility that Cumberbatch and Freeman might form a repeating actor duo like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - they're already side-by-side as Smaug and Bilbo respectively.

 

Then you download it when it's released on the interwebz like any other civilized person

Last episode of the season, and the first were amazing. Wasn't so impressed with Baskerville, but it was still way above most other tv shows.

 

I actually kind of hope it will be the last. It just... feels right for the series. Three series of three episodes. I really feel that it would just start degrading if they tried to make a permanent thing out of it.

I feel I should mention that I would have absolutely no complaints if there were more episodes of similar quality though.

 

I just went and watched Sherlock Game of Shadows, and while I loved the first movie, I thought it was just out and out garbage. I can't decide if it was because the movie was trash, or because this series has ruined any other Sherlock-y style for me.

 

I think this TV series had a big impact on how I viewed Game of Shadows. I, too, found GoS lacking. Moriarty, for one, was simply weak and pale when compared against the psychotic bastard in this TV series.

I adored/loved/envied the sheer insanity of Andrew Scott's Moriarty. It was just... what you want to see in an arch-villain.

Especially at the end of the third episode of Season 2, where:

Spoiler

Sherlock is dangling him over the edge of the building and says "You're insane". Moriarty just looks confused, almost shrugs, and replies: "You're just getting that now?"

The fact that he's saying that to what is arguably the greatest mind on the planet, coupled with Moriarty blowing his brains out a minute later, then whatever GoS had to offer was almost pedestrian.

I definitely think without the TV show, GoS would have had a better impact.

Meh, what can you do?

 

I just heard that US edition of the first episode of the second season was cut out down from 90 minutes to 82 to make room for adverts. And it will be the same with the other two.

I'm not even sure how to comment on this.
