Oh, good. I hope that doesn't force the producers to rush anything, though. Hey, if they start at the top of the season, maybe that'll give them a chance to get picked up for the back nine, if that's still a thing that happens.

Unsurprising news: Sherlock Holmes will turn up alive in season 2 of Watson. According to Variety, he'll be played by Robert Carlyle (Stargate Universe). All the regulars from season 1 will be returning, and there's no news of any other new regulars.
I'm familiar with Carlyle from Universe, but I wouldn't have thought of him as a potential Holmes -- in part because he's Scottish, but then again, so was Arthur Conan Doyle. He's also older than I would've expected, at 64, two years older than Sherlock and Daughter's David Thewlis. But then, Morris Chestnut is 56 despite looking maybe 15 years younger, so I guess it's appropriate.

I first became aware of him through The Full Monty way back in the day, then in The World is Not Enough and 28 Weeks Later.
Three different movies that show his range as an actor.
The opening sequence in 28 Weeks Later is worth the price of admission.
Interesting casting. Carlyle isn't necessarily who I would have thought up to play Holmes, but now that I think the matter over, I can sort of see it. He's certainly a good actor, so I have no objections to him in the role.
Yeah well, Moriarty killing Holmes? That never works out.
Yup. Sherlock really puts the "back" in "Reichenbach."
