I've loved every Sherlock Holmes series. From my first introduction via Jeremy Brett(the definitive Edwardian Holmes, to Young Sherlock Holmes and my crush on Nicholas Rowe. I'm sure there will be more Holmes pastiches in the future but I've enjoyed this one-warts and all.

How very democratic.
 

Please calm down. I knew I should have used that -> instead! That's the problem with the internet, not enough emojis. Oh well.... 
 

I get the joke but then I'm American..

Not long now!
 

Anyone else watch this? I thought it was okay-escapism nonsense.Dont quite see all the uproar about it, certainly better than Atlantis.ill give it another go since pilots are usually tthe same as therest of the series. Plus I love the theme tune.

I think the "This is the better show" fans on both sides are wrong. I like Sherlock and I also like Elementary. They are two different shows and have both positives and negatives. Both actors have some characteristics of the fictional detective and both shows play with the characters and situations of canon. 

It's all good. I actually like Elementary because Liu's character is portrayed as a multi-dimensioned person rather than the awful "sexy" River Song/Irene Adler of Sherlock or the mousy Molly. YVMV but there's room enough for two different shows about Holmes.  

As for the real Sherlock as stated above-Granada is almost flawles IMHO.

Did you go to the filming yesterday then? Or is it today? I didn't see any spoilers posted on here...in fact, I know absolutely nothing about it, which is how I prefer it!

I'm not going to open up a spoilers thread, seeing as Sue Vertue has requested us not to!

Thank you for not opening up spoilers...People know where to go to find them.

Anyone else a fan? It started out a bit shakey but after the first episode, I began to really enjoy it-especially for the characters. Matthew MacFadyen also gives a great period performance but the actors playing Sgt. Drake and Jackson were well cast. Sad to see it only had 8 episodes and we have to wait til 2014(again?) to get a new season.

Victoriana + CSI + London = a favorite

That he'd die for Sherlock and they have a strong bond.

Interesting. That to me, is soul mates. I've never really considered it to be a romantic thing. Soulmates can be friends too without any soppiness involved.

Anyway, if we are to have a Mary Morstan, I'd love her to be a little bit bad ass, for Sherlock to like her and get along with her - and going off the few pictures and storyline hints that have been released (official ones), they appear to be working alongside each other in the first episode. I'd like her to be clever and intelligent and not take any shit and for Sherlock to be genuinely happy for John and for John to be totally in love and besotted by her.

I'd like her to be a really likeable character that all of the Sherlock fandom grow to love and respect over the course of Series 3, thereby making it even more heart wrenching when she is killed off during the finale of the third episode. Mwahahahaha. *evil Moffat grin*

I think no matter what kind of love interest is added for John, many fans won't like them simply because they feel the person will come between John and Sherlock.

The more I think about it the less sure I am that she is in fact THE Mary Watson. But I do feel she will be a catalyst in John forgiving Sherlock. However, I do wonder what everyone will feel about Molly since she and Mycroft(but he's tight-lipped anyway) were the only two that knew the truth. I hope that will be dealt with. 

 

One day and counting! I've liked every New Doctor since 2005 though my heart will always belong to the Nineth as he was my intro to the show. Favorite companions..well I always liked the threesome teams. Amy/Rory/Doctor and Jack/Rose/Doctor. Still can't abide River Song but I liked her more as the mysterious archeologist and less of Melody Pond. 

As for old Who, I've only watched the first Doctor and loved him with Barbara and Ian. But Susan's many hysterical shreiks of 'Grandfather' make her my least favorite companions. I just love a show that can be goofy and random adventures every week and doesn't always take itself too seriously. 

 

IMO, the show has made it clear that Sherlock and Moriarty are the same. Jim planned his take down of Sherlock, thereby I can't believe when Sherlock made the date with a rooftop he didn't imagine that Jim would try to kill him or himself. I also find it interesting that Sherlock does the whole confession on the rooftop when he's on the phone with John-as if he's worried someone's listening in. Sherlock has to know that John won't believe him. Hmm. Try as I might I really think Mycroft had to have helped fake the death. I always thought it was strange that Sherlock and Mycroft never spoke to one another in this episode. Yes they allegedly had a tiff but even in Hounds, Sherlock swallows his pride and calls his brother. Yet both brothers decline to see one another. 

The brothers' behavoir just seemed a little off and I wouldn't be surprised if it was so Mycroft could help behind the scenes.

Hi, there I'm Tardislass and as you can see I'm a Doctor Who fan who loves most British TV shows. I've always had a fondness for Holmes ever since I read The Hound of the Baskervilles as an 11 year old-what a plot and characters that made me want to go to Dorset right then and there. Am also a fan of the Jeremy Brett series and he is my favorite old-school Holmes. In fact, I love any kind of Holmesian work.


In my RL I work in the corporate world. I noticed Martin when he was on The Office-so adorable and got hooked on Sherlock the first series. While other girls squeal about Cumberbatch, my favorite person is Mycroft/Gatiss who seems to love Sherlock Holmes as much as I do and does the most fabulous acting in a character that could be OTT.  And I love Molly but that's mostly down to Lou Breasley being such a cool person.

Looking forward to Series 3 whenever it comes.
