Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
Hi Neptune, welcome to the forum! 
As I can see you've already made yourself at home here, that's great.
Your story of how you came across Sherlock is sort of... hilarious. A bit sad, but also hilarious. 
Have fun!

Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
It definitely makes you stand out, Neptune!
My story is absolutely boring in comparison, I just stumbled across the show when they were showing a rerun of Scandal on TV late in the evening. Although I have to say, a few months earlier I happened to tune into a scene of TBB, watched it for about two minutes, thought "Boring!" and switched channels. What can I say...

Well it *WAS* TBB. Worst episode in my opinion. If that had been the first one I saw... I might not have continued on watching it lol.

Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
Ah, what a relief...! And I thought something was wrong with me.
But then again, sometimes it's just not love at first sight, right? When I watched Scandal, it was a completely different story... and I mean, I didn't even know what was going on there in the first few minutes at the pool. I didn't know it was the solution of a cliffhanger, but nevertheless it worked...! Amazing, isn't it?

Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
Welcome, Neptune, I think you found the right place. I watched the sad, sad video and will make sure to check out some others as well.
I found Sherlock on TV, not very interesting. I first watched the German dubbed version but got only got hooked after watching the original. Hearing Benedict's voice (and the brilliant dialogue) for the first time was like a flash! From then on I have been a hopeless case.

Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
Hi, I'm Carol and I'm in England. I've neen a fan of Sherlock Holmes since I was 10 years old. I saw that the BBC was making an updated version and was excited, but also worried. The first episode I saw I fell deeper in love than ever. I was so worried the writers would mess about with the idea (like moving Sherlock to the USA or changing John's sex ... that sort of thing). I needn't have worried, Moffat and Gatiss have got the essence of Sherlock Holmes exactly right. I can't wait for series 3 and hopefully 4, 5 6 etc.

Re: Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum
Harriet – thank you for the welcome!
Susi – I’m glad you watched my video. Thank you. I hope you enjoy the others on my channel. Benedict has the voice of a GOD! I could just sit and listen to that man talk all day. If I lived in Sherlock’s world I could just sit and watch him play his violin all day long, kinda like Irene, just sit and stare at this god like creature while he was thinking. I would never get bored doing that.
Carol – Hello! Thanks for the welcome! I agree that Mofftiss nailed it with this show. Nothing short of spectacular. Though I want series 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc, I NEED series 3 NOW! Like RIGHT NOW! lol.

Oh. My. God. Sherlock Holmes is talking to me! *has a fangirl panic attack* lol
Thank you for the welcome! I am really enjoying it here. I wish I could post more often but life gets in the way a lot. You know how it is, I'm sure.
