SHERLOCK [BBC] - Series 3 - airing late 2013/ early 2014

The third ep had moments of brilliance. For a moment I actually believed Moriaty's story, that he was an actor paid by Sherlock.

Ditto. Any interaction between Moriarty and Holmes in this series has been fascinating to watch. The combnation of casting/writing/acting is about as good as it could possibly be.

At this point I have no idea how Holmes pulled off what he did in that last episode, and I am very anxious to see the next installment to find out how he did it.
 
Only one thing detracts from it, to be continued when?

Two things, that and the slug balancing act Watson seems to be doing.

I do hope the Magnum PI look isn't a permanent feature.
I thought the same thing. I'm hoping it's the typical "grew some facial hair to show the passing of time and will be shaved off as part of the return to status quo" that we see so often.
 
BBC should have it air right after the Doctor Who christmas special ;) but of course they won't. I expect New Years Day air date.
 
I can't wait. They are airing it tomorrow, right? Please tell me they are. ;)

I wonder what the resolution of the last finale will be. I got to see it a second time just now. Being convinced I had missed something I didn't give it much thought the first time.

I am much more confounded by how he planned it, not by how he did it – the latter should be easy, John was misdirected to see things not quite how they happened, the street directly beneath Sherlock was empty of people so he could have pulled out any number of Magician's moves to let everyone see something different than what really happened. A poetic revenge for Moriarty's trickery.

I guess he used Moriarty's body, and Molly's going to identify it as his, that's pretty much a given I think.

But I really can't get my head around the planning and knowing what to plan for, and what part of what went on the roof was a performance, or what caught him by surprise and had him improvising. I hope that the events actually made sense, and weren't put there merely for entertaining us. I don't think they fit.

He couldn't have had an inkling that Moriarty would kill himself, for example, but as I was watching, at one point I felt that it was Moriarty who was getting duped the entire time. And if that wasn't the case, Sherlock was planning for a very different ending to it all.

If he was planning for a different ending, having him improvise could have left evidence to have him discovered by some of Moriarty's accomplices in the next episode.


Also, the computer code. Sherlock knew about it, right? Cause the audience knew it was bull, and Sherlock couldn't have been so stupid to think it was possible, right?
 
That it is. If it were a 16 or 22 episode per season series the quality would inevitably drop--but it's a moot point anyway. Freeman and Cumberbatch are too much in demand elsewhere. It's fortunate that we're getting a series 3 and 4. The two stars genuinely like doing it. Neither one seems full of himself during interviews. They're both quite articulate. Strikingly so.

I have a favorite comedic scene from Sherlock as well. Hands down the best.

+1, I laughed so hard at that scene
