OK, if you look on the table at the restaurant, there's a red tub with yellow on it. I'm pretty sure that it's one of these...

I saw that, but couldn't tell what it was.  Can you zoom Netflix?

Haha, Tobe, that's a really good one! If you watch the restaurant scene carefully (Angelo's). You might see something...

What is the color of the menu or tent on the table  at Angelos in Pink?

My husband and I have two hamsters called Flauschelinchen (which means something like  fluffy, litte thingy) and Herr Grau (which means Mr. Grey, because he's, well, grey).  They live in veeeeeeeeery large cages, otherwise I couldn't bear to lock them up... I love them! But, to be honest, it's sort of a substitute thing as I would much rather have a cat or dog, but it's just not possible in our flat.   So I have to be content with visiting my parents' and the cat they have, until I have my own place... which is not going to happen in the next ten years or so.

Do you have the balls to put your hamsters in so they can run around the house?

I don't think they think.  That or they have never watched Sherlock.  Or they hate British TV?

Sherlock's Andrew Scott to star in new ITV drama, The Town
Andrew Scott, who recently picked up a Bafta for his performance as Moriarty in BBC1’s Sherlock, is to star in a new ITV1 drama series, The Town.
The 35-year-old actor will play Mark, who is called back to his home town of Renton after ten years away by a shocking family incident.
Mark's relationship with his parents has always been strained, he barely knows his teenage sister and his grandmother (Julia McKenzie) is now living in his old bedroom.
Meanwhile, he must get reacquainted with old drinking friends Lucy (Kelly Adams), Carly (Aisling Bea), and Jeff (Sam Troughton) as well as come to terms with the fact that his first love Alice (Charlotte Riley) is married with a child.

More on this now:

Scott, Clunes for ITV's The Town

[i]Sherlock's Andrew Scott will join Julia McKenzie and Martin Clunes in a new three-part drama for ITV.
The Town also stars Wuthering Heights actress Charlotte Riley, Shameless star Gerard Kearns and Hustle's Kelly Adams.
The drama tells the story of Mark Nicholas - played by Andrew, best known for his role as Jim Moriarty in Sherlock - who returns to the town of Renton where he grew up.
Mark's drawn back to his old life but finds it hard to reconnect with his family, friends and first love Alice (Riley), who's now married with a child.
As the story unfolds, Mark must decide if he can build a new life in this strange place that he once called home.
Meanwhile, Martin Clunes plays the town's local mayor, who stumbles from one PR disaster to another.
Kenton Allen, co-executive producer, said: "At the heart of The Town will be a family struggling to come to terms with change.
"The story takes place in a landscape familiar to most

Hello everyone!

I just came across this forum and what can I say? I joined instantly. :D
I'm a 24 year old German, who is into "Sherlock" for about one year now. I remember when my friend told me about it I was more than sceptical at first. Sherlock Holmes? In a modern world? Nah I don't know... Anyway, I gave it a try and right after watching the very first episode I was just staring at the screen, simply blown away by the brilliancy of this show. From the fantastic script through to the amazing editing. Not to mention the brilliant cast. Definitely one of the best shows I have ever watched.

Anyway, enough of me blabbering. Nice to meet you all and I'm looking forward to a wonderful time here on this forum.

Oh and it might be a little late, but happy new year to all of you!!

Another German-how nice!  Welcome to the world-wide Sherlock chat room.  I whole-heartedly agree with your comments!

Does kinda make sense, if people were a fan of Benedict from before.
I had never even heard of him before SherlockI

Same with me 
 

And me.  It is funny how I mention him here in the USA and people think you're making up his name.  They've never heard of him   or Sherlock.  So I tell them Benedict is the villain in the new Star Trek flic coming out and Martin is the Hobbit and they get excited!  Then I tell them to watch Sherlock if they have Netflix or loan them my DVD's.  We need to get the word out to others and not just in the fandom.  Did the Golden Globe judges even watch Sherlock?

They are 'glorifying' the TV as some form of educational tool for someone as apparently brilliant as Holmes?

I find that VERY hard to swallow and yet, being made America surely suits this premise.

I don't watch the show and find this premise patently ridiculous and severely beneath Sherlock's character and brilliance. I can only apologize on behalf of my country and the morons who run the network TV industry.

I second this comment.

What is the name of the story?

When you finally found a "trick" to install any ringtone you like on your "older" mobile phone - and then you can not decide, which of all those lovely songs and quotes to choose.

What is the trick? I want a Sherlock ringtone on my dumb phone.

But actually I'm pretty happy with the german version.  The synchronisation is well done in my opinion.

Oh and one question:
How many posts do I need to get the next level? I don't want to be a WRONG anymore :D

Welcome! Your English is great.  I didn't know it took a certain amount of posts to be "wrong" or any of those comments.  How did you learn that?

Hullo together!

I noticed, that many of you do have pets, and i thought it would be nice to know like cats or dogs (or exotic stuff) (I alway find it interesting to know who is a cat type and who is a dog type...) and how many and also funny stories. I mean... I don't know of anybody who hasn't at least got one story to tell about their pet.

I probably added this topic because I absolutely adore my dog!
She's called Sunny and that describes her perfectly.
She is so friendly to everyone and all jumpy and funny when you play with her. But when she manages to seize a place on the sofa she acts all lazy.
Oh I forgot to mention what race she is... She is a Cockapoo (Cocker-spaniel Poodle) Her fur is very bright beige and really fuzzy. She's about knee height and has flappy ears
I totally love her... And I'll stop there, because otherwise I won't stop for ages!

I would love to hear about your pets ;)

MK

I have a Sunny, too. My Sunny is a rescued, female Golden Retriever. She's very sweet and playful.  She loves my dwarf hamsters.

Does anyone know about any pets owned by any Sherlock cast/crew?  I've seen a yellow Lab associated with Andrew Scott. I think Benedict needs a pet, if he doesn't have one. It would love him for who he is, not the celebrity he has become.

Hey guys!
So.... I know opinions are over the board with the show-we-love-to-hate, or just plain indifferent, or hey, a few like me who find it fun enough to watch as long as don't get too mad about how truly "Holmesian" it is and just morbidly curious about where it goes (hey, gotta find some other interesting things to watch and tackle pile of stuff to read during this long hiatus... ;P).

Since most 'fall' shows that took a winter break are -finally- coming back, was just curious how many of you besides me tuned in to 'Elementary' last week (and... sure... the amused side of me wondering what Smoggy's alternate title for that one would be...  "The One With The Spies"?  ;)).  Thoughts?  I thought it was about staying on okay par with the rest... some amusing quips... not so bad clue/twist... Watson finally jumping in more... Holmes finally pointing out more that she likes it... ehh... still kind of "whatever, guys" at the tension they're trying to create with the 'will she stay or won't she, and what kind of agreement'.  The single part that got most of an eyebrow raise, though, was actually the teaser for next week.     Snrk.  Danger.... another case.... his greatest enemy... dun dun....  took his only love...  dun dun....  a legendary battle (with background image of one of those old-fashioned wax seals, with M stamped on it).  (can see here, if want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F-NTJ88O3U)   Ohh.... kaay....   apprehensive, curious amusement, no?   Anyone?  Heh... I'm... uh... just gonna plop back down over here with my favorite boys and a dose of cautiously neutral wry thoughtfulness, then.  ;)




Love this picture!

Sherlock is harsh with everyone. I think Molly gets more than her share just  because she's there, and, in fact, puts herself in position for his remarks.

Ick, if Sherlock came back all mushy and lovey-dovey, I'd stop watching!

If Sherlock came back all mushy and lovey-dovey, I'd try to figure out what he was really after.

As of mid-season hiatus, Elementary is the highest rated new series of the year.  And CBS obviously has some faith in the show since they gave it the coveted post-Superbowl slot and ordered an additional two episodes after giving it a full season order.   

There was a drop in ratings after the first two episodes, but that happens with most new shows.  Since episode three, the ratings have been consistent at just over 10 million.  They've been number one in total viewers in their 10 p.m. time slot since the premiere and have been number one in key demos for all but the last two weeks.

Pilot- 13.29 million viewers
While You Were Sleeping - 11.22 million viewers
Child Predator - 10.84 million viewers
Rat Race - 10.16 million viewers
Lesser Evils - 10.5 million viewers
Flight Risk - 10.9 million viewers
If this is the highest rated new series of the year (in the USA), I can't imagine how uninteresting the rest of the st

Hello everyone,
I'm a freshman studying software engineering,and being a total book person,sherlock has been a big part of my life since I was a kid.
I watched all the episodes of BBC Sherlock in two days about a month ago, thinking "It's not that big of a deal" and honestly I'm still not able to get it out of my head.
I've followed this forum for some time and finally decided to join because honestly, the waiting for season 3 is driving me crazy (as I'm sure does to a lot of you). Almost none of the people around me watched sherlock and the few who did were not willing to discuss about it.

Also,I want to apologize beforehand for my poor English and any grammatical error I will make.English is not my native language.

Welcome!  Your English is fine and we are not grading your grammar anyway.  I have deduced you are quite intelligent because you study software engineering, think about Sherlock a lot,and want to discuss it. You have come to the right place!

I think what I find almost 'anti - canon' about Elementary is that it is TOO modernised.
It has taken the two main characters, who were basically 'good', one even being 'top of the class' and changed them into flawed characters. So now the 'interest' is more in the characters than the detection, the problem solving, etc. Yes certainly the canon focused on Holmes' brilliance, but it didn't depend on delving into his psyche.
This is a modern trend that sometimes goes too far. Today it seems the 'flawed' individuals are propelled up as the heroes of the world and those who are good at everything, have intelligence & common sense, etc are treated as 'commonplace' & no longer celebrated as they once were....

Bad writing. Cheap, throw-away writing, with only ratings in mind and no love for the characters at all.

Amen.
