I too was very disappointed to see that our favourite show didn't win in any of the many categories they were nominated in.
I would have been really nice to see them get what they all highly deserve, but then again, you are all right with what you are saying about the Emmys' relevance.
Prizes nowadays don't say much about quality.

I loved Martin Freeman's sunglasses by the way.

I think you mean when he realizes that he forgot to bring his gun...and then Sherlock hands it to him.

Thank you very much for your answer!
Yes, I rewatched it and you're right, it was about his gun, thanks again. 

I really didn't have a good day, but I just watched this on YouTube and it made it much better. 

He is just such a refreshingly charming and polite person. So relaxing to listen to his interviews when some other people in your life are inpolite and annoying, makes you believe that this sort of intelligent and elegant person still exists in our weird world.

What he said about Parade's End sounded really interesting, I'm so looking forward to actually watching it!

And I think he handled the whole posh-discussion very smartly. One can just hope that people leave him alone now finally.

Too bad he couldn't say anything about Sherlock, but then again, I didn't think he would, I guess it's just way too early for that.

That is a really good piece, TicTacToe! I also like their songs Crystalized and Islands.

My biggest obsession today was "Take A Moment" by Armin van Buuren.
I think it will last a while because I absolutely adore it and I always connect it with Sherlock since I've listened to it on repeat when I first watched Sherlock!

Awesome feeling that always returns with this song. 

...when you wake up to hear the sound of pouring rain outside and instantly think about "Why today, John?".
Then go into your bathroom, switch on the radio there and it plays "Staying Alive"...aaargh!

This has to be some kind of conspiracy...

I pre-ordered the DVDs. Somehow I have little hope that it's going to be on German TV (and then there would be the dubbing).

Great you mentioned that! Now I can do the same...and enjoy it all in the original version as well. 

Have been watching the trailer four times already, it looks really amazing.

Just discovered this poll and voted. Guess for who...

But I too think that Mycroft is an interesting character with a great depth about him, but also a certain comic potential.
I found Irene very mysterious, but I didn't like her for the way she treated Sherlock.

And Moriarty...well, he wins the poll, but I personally can't get myself to like him or even to find him funny. Still too damaged by Reichenbach presumably...

And well, Mrs. Hudson..."England would fall!" Quite right, in my opinion. I love the way Gatiss and Moffat extended her role from a seldom mentioned character to a part contributing a lot of warmth to the show.

Molly,  don't use deviantart--  those are copyrighted.  You can find pics  listed here in fanart threads. (choose a pic and ask for permission)  Also  on the internet.  Don't use those that have watermarks  (those are little squiggly marks on the picture, that are text  or signatures by the artists)  that's a copyright infringement law....thing. Google SHERLOCK  and then hit the images link.   If you'd like further help,  let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Thank you so much for this nice and very, very helpful post!!! 

Yes, indeed, as I'm really not on the technical side of things and useless at any kind of design, art or similar stuff (and my computer's too old to bear another new software), I meant to find a way to use a nice picture for my icon.

Thanks a lot for your explanation and your offer to help me further! 
I'll see what I can do and let you know when I've been either successfull or helpless.

Two amazing ideas! They all looked so happy on that second poster...

Very interesting and insightful survey, what a pity that it kind of went past me so I didn't participate, I would really have liked to!

My favourite episode so far is Scandal, but I understand fully why Reichenbach was the most chosen.

I don't think I have a least favourite episode as they are all amazing and utterly unique in my opinion, but I guess The Blind Banker just didn't have enough emotional potential or character development as the others. Though I found the storyline to be quite tragic for itself.

One should also consider that it was the second episode, so naturally the writers had to build up something like a gist or a basic system in which the characters could function, in order to then be able to fully delve into the characters and get to the deeper level that we've been fortunate to see in Scandal or Reichenbach for exemple.

As for the actors, I would have chosen Mr. Cumberbatch as well.  But obviously the show wouldn't be as brilliant without the amazing Martin Freeman and all others.
