Has anyone seen the film Phantom Thread?  I saw it last week and I really liked it though the relationship between the two main characters was quite bizarre.  So, it was a rather odd but intriguing film.  I found myself conflicted over some of the character's actions, but couldn't stop thinking about the film afterwards.
Would like to hear other's impressions of the movie if you've seen it.

Yitzok, I also saw Darkest Hour and thought Gary Oldman was excellent.  I also enjoyed it far more than I expected!
Would recommend both movies.

Very interesting read!  Thanks for the link, Vhanja.

Yes, next episode is the season finale and I believe it has been renewed for season 2.
At least we get 8 episodes per season and only have to wait 1 year for season 2 unlike Sherlock!     

Lautrela, the episode that just aired did a great job of explaining much of what is happening.  I think you will enjoy it.  I thought it was the best so far.  I have never really been into comic books or graphic novels either, and haven't tried to read this one.  But, I must say I have really liked many of the Marvel movies and television shows and I think Legion is especially beautiful and creative.

Is anyone watching the television program Legion?  I am thoroughly enjoying it.  It does not always make sense, but e special effects and visual effects in general are stunning, and episode 7 was brilliant!  Excellent story, creative, more great visuals.  Just wondering if anyone else has seen it and your impressions.

Ok. Here goes.
Nothing planned the day we arrive due to probable jet lag, time change etc.
Day 1. Tour Westminster Abbey, walk along the Thames to see Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square.  Visit the National Gallery-this would be a Friday so it should be open late.

Day 2 Saturday. Notting Hill and Portobello Market in the morning.  Imperial War museum later. 

Day 3. Buckingham Palace -- should be open to tour the State Rooms, changing of the Guard or the Horse Guard.  Churchill War Rooms

Day 4. Hyde Park, V&A museum and possibly the Science and Natural History Museums. Would also be interested in Kew Gardens and Brompton Cemetery

Day 5. Sherlock Holmes Museum, Speedy's Cafe, the British Museum and British Library, Regent 's Park

Day 6. Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral.  Would also like to try to get a photo of St. Bart 's Hospital which I think is in this general area and maybe visit St. Bart 's the Great church

Day 7. This is a "free" day where we would probably take a day trip

Day 8 Borough market, HMS Belfast ship (hubby 's request. ),  Globe Theatre, Tate Modern

Day 9-10 would be the days of the London Open House so we would be touring those sites

I am also planning to go to at least one play or concert and to have afternoon tea somewhere.

Suggestions welcome!!

Thanks again for all the great suggestions!  I am planning to purchase an Oyster card for travel.  Both Bath and Bletchley Park sound interesting. Will have to do a bit more research.  I do hope to have time to check out Hyde Park and some of the other parks.  We normally try to visit US National Parks and like hiking, so this trip will be a bit different for us, but I am looking forward to it.
Cheers and thanks again!

Hello Fellow Sherlockians!  My husband and I are planning to visit London in September (inspired, of course, by watching Sherlock!).  We are looking to be in London proper for 5-7 days leaving 2 or 3 days for possible day trips out of the city. This will be our first trip abroad.
We are planning to be there for the London Open House weekend and, of course, to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the site of BBC's Baker Street and Speedys Café on Gower St. plus lots of other museums and sites.  There is a lot of good information online and I am planning to get some tour books, but, I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for hotels or bed and breakfasts for our stay or maybe a recommendation for the best neighborhood in which to stay?  We don't need luxury accomodations, just looking for simple, clean and moderately priced.  It seems like there may be a few good places in the Covent Garden area. We are hoping not to have to rent a car--it sounds like it is fairly easy to walk or take the bus, tube or other public transport.
Actually, one other silly question regarding car rental.  If we were to take a day trip out of London by train to Oxford or Cardiff or someplace like that, are attractions at our destination city within walking distance of the train station, or would we need to take a taxi, or bus or rent a car to get around?  I can't seem to find much information on this subject.
Any information would be greatly appreciated as well as any thoughts on must see attractions or things to avoid. 
Thanks!

The "male perspective" was interesting, but I do not agree that he was expressing romantic love for Molly.  Much of this has already been said here, but I think Sherlock genuinely respects Molly especially as the seasons progress.  You sort of get a sense that he is using her position in the morgue to procure bodies and other things in Study in Pink, but, over time I think he values her more and that he is truly indebted to her for her help in faking his death, and he knows how valuable a friend she is. 
I think he does love her as a friend, and I think his second "I love you" was a genuine expression of that love.  But I didn't get the impression that he thought of her romantically or sexually.  He was also trying desperately to save her life, but I think the emotion was real.
His smashing the coffin was in my opinion a combination of relief that she was spared and frustration that he was forced or manipulated by Eurus and that he may have hurt Molly.  It is also possible that he was upset by having to face such intense emotions and just needed an outlet to deal with emotions he has kept closed off for so long.
I don't think Eurus planned these scenarios to make Sherlock face individual emotions, though that is an interesting notion. 
Even though it wasn't shown, I'd like to think that Sherlock explained the situation to Molly afterwards and that they are still friends.

I had been thinking about what might have happened to Sherlock if Mycroft had died in TFP.  Not so much emotionally but I was thinking more practically about whether he would have been able to continue his duties as a consulting detective.  It seems to me that Mycroft affords not only some level of protection to his brother due to his status in the British government, but also that he afforded access to some places, such as Baskerville, that Sherlock would otherwise not have had.  Mycroft also uses Sherlock's abilities and has even put him in harm's way a few times as well. 
I have no doubt Sherlock's deductive abilities and cleverness would have remained intact and that he could still help with police work, but I think many of the things he was able to do to gain information would not be possible without Mycroft. 
Any thoughts?
