Sherlock

To Hell and Baskerville with your Robert Downey Jr version, January 1st 2012 sees the return of Benedict Cumberbatch's incredible performance as the BBC's very own Sherlock Holmes in three new telefilms based on Doyle classics "A Scandal In Bohemia", "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Final Problem"

When last we left Holmes, he was engaged in a fateful face-off with his arch nemesis Jim Moriarty, the first telefilm will pick up on the cliffhanger and throw Holmes into another iconic encounter, this time with "THE Woman" Irene Adler

Loved this, though I wish they'd stop overomantizing the Holmes/Adler relationship. Doyle never intended it for that. At least they kept Holmes' feelings for her ambigious and not have him outright state anything.

Microft is sick in the head. Loved that Moriarty blew a raspberry at Big Ben when he found out about the Jumbo Jet.

Holmes trolling his dinner guests backfired on him when he found out Molly had dolled herself up for him and left him a present

Decent action romp this week. Very Resident Evil. The CG Hounds were a bit cheesy, I prefer the idea they were the result of halluncinagenics much better.


Moriarty was in prison...how'd that happen? Must have been because Irene Adler named him in her confrontation with Sherlock and Mycroft last week

I'm pretty sure the CG dog was just a hallucination, but there was a real dog "inside". CG was cheesy yes, but it doesn't matter if in the film it's not supposed to be real anyway. The ending was confusing and I hope they don't leave the explanation to season 3, if there is to be one.

This weekends offering will be epic. Anyone who has read or seen previous adaptations of The Final Problem may well like this upcoming episode.

That was a great finale, loved that "The Final Problem" was "Stayin' Alive"

Alas, it's the end of the road for both Moriarty and our current status quoe, not sure how next season will turn out now that Sherlock's been disgraced. Taking cases anoumously perhaps?

I have no doubt Molly and Mycroft had a hand in helping Sherlock survive his "suicide"

Reading up further on this in a newspaper today and it's been confirmed they have already filmed the explanation for how Sherlock faked his death, but it will obviously air as part of the third season.

In other news, it seems the States are getting their own modern day Sherlock Holmes series called "Elementary"...good luck with that

Sign of Three (Four) is the only episode title that rings a bell for me . I've no idea what the other two are based on.

"Empty Hearse"=Empty House, the story where Sherlock returned from the reichenbach fall and revealed himself to the world and Watson again. I've heard it greatly differs from the source material though

"His Last Vow"=His Last Bow, the last chronological Sherlock story in the canon, he retires afterwards. It was a propaganda peice set against the backdrop of a world war, so it's obviously going to differ here as well

I am so excited to know that there is going to be another season. This and Dr. Who are the only reasons to get BBC America.
