Amph Sherlock - new BBC series from Steven Moffat

Or Molly

 

I don't understand how being too art makes a character uninteresting...

 

Whilst researching Sherlock filming locations (yes, I'm going to be doing that as well!), I came across this nice little 360 panorama of one of the locations. See if you can guess!

Wasn't the room they used in Scandal as Buckingham Palace?

As a prize I think it only fair and appropriate that you send over a naked Lara Pulver.

 

Yes, and once I've finished with her



Woohoo!

 

Oh my. That was fast.

 

The extras are brilliant. Watched one about the cast and creators talking about the premise of the show and the fans. Fantastic. And the second about the effects, mainly talking about the shooting scene in Episode 3. Really really good. Next one is called "The Fall".

 

There is a fabulous Sherlock segment in QI (uncut version, at least) this week (season 11, Ep 17). Referencing Doyle's books, not the BBC series.

 

Is this the ejaculate thing? That's episode 1 of series 10 (Jargon). S11E07 is a compilation show of the K series

 

Yes. And oh, rightho.

 

Under consideration for production in the next LEGO Cuusoo round;

I've only starting watching Sherlock in the last few weeks; caught the last episode last night. I'm rather glad I didn't have to wait a year for the season 1 and 2 cliffhangers to be resolved, but golly that was an interesting ending to this season. (Series?) When does the next one start? Please don't say 2015...

I'm among the crowd that I hope Moriarty isn't back for good. I don't want the show to become as crazy and convoluted as Doctor Who has become at times. I think the wedding episode (Sign of Three, I think) is my favorite episode so far, and initially while watching the finale I was annoyed because it seemed to ruin that episode for me. But I think they resolved it for me - Mary is not evil, just has a bad past and wanted it left there. (Although I'd been hoping for an evil twin after she shot him).

My initially thought was as the plane was taking off that it would explode, heh. Then when the Moriarty clip came on my first thought was that it was Sherlock's doing. But I don't like that idea, either. Or Mary and John being behind it. Maybe Mycroft, but if it is just a ruse then eventually that'll be found out and what would happen to Sherlock then? I do think Adler would be a good choice for being behind it, but again how would they be able to have Sherlock stay in London after? (Does the public know that he shot someone?)

Maybe Molly was behind everything. Her real name is ... Molliarty. Or Mrs. Hudson. She seems so innocent, doesn't she? She's secretly a ninja and threw the one bad guy out the window once more when Sherlock wasn't looking.

I think they throw the word 'sociopath' around a bit too much, though. Sherlock has his faults but he does seem to have a conscience (as do John and Mary).

 

Seeing as this aired 2014, series two was 2012, and one was 2010, quite possibly 2016.

 

There were rumors that they might actually shoot earlier than usual and that they didn't want as much of a break between series. I think the huge hiatus was really bad because it just gave people far too long to get a concrete idea of what they thought happened.

 

I think the long delay was also due to Freeman's and Cumberbatch's commitments to the Hobbit and Star Trek, wasn't it?

 

Certainly the Hobbit had a lot to do with it. I think also a program Moffat was showrunning celebrating it's 50th anniversary called Doctor Who also took a chunk of time out of the schedule leading to the delay.

 

Yeah, that, too.

 

A rather good article (IMO) on the problematic way that Sherlcok solves the Magnusson problem.

 

I just to point out that in the bonfire, much of the debris was camphor wood.

 

Though conveniently forgetting that Watson shot the cabbie in the first episode. Both the cabbie and Magnusson posed real threats.

 

I personally didn't have a problem with the ending. I thought they set it up pretty clearly how dangerous Magnusson was. (Doesn't Mary say something like, "People like me exist to take out people like him.") And I think for Sherlock it was no longer about winning the game or outsmarting someone smart. It had become personal, and a very real threat (and I think he took his vow to his friends seriously). I think he knew he was going to have to kill him the moment he knew the vault was empty but he was wavering. (I figured Magnusson was gonna die, but not sure who was going to kill him).

 

I have no issue with it at all. What I have issue with is the fact that Mycroft comes out with this "Oh he's done it now" nonsense and the awful "Oh he has to be exiled" crap, when it's quite clear that Mycroft has the power to cover anything up. That whole set-up was just non-sensical in the Sherlock world. Mycroft should and would be glad that the threat was nullified and finished, with nothing to trace it back.
