Angie in VA Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I couldn't control myself and am responding to 6 quotes. I'm awful. I know. Forgive me, please. Just saw the second one last night. We're not looking forward to withdrawal symptoms after the third. I read somewhere, (and I hope that it's not true), that it will be two years before Season 4 may come out. Say it isn't so! We only just got into Sherlock a few weeks ago and watched them all through Christmas, etc. Yes, this is my Sherlock experience as well. Wonderful that I got to see so much w/o stops, but now I have to wait. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! CAN.NOT.WAIT. And then this will be followed by months and months of moping and Pinterest stalking. If they don't bring Once Upon a Time back soon, I just might die of longing without Sherlock to fill the void. The bold part: why Mom in High Heels is my new best friend. She gets me. She really gets me. :hurray: Just had to take this opportunity to publicly express my love and devotion to her. LOL. But I mean it. I was cracking up reading the on screen "things" they were showing .......it was night and everyone was asleep and I was sooo afraid of waking someone up.... This! "Sitty thing" and I had the same problem w/ episode 1, w/ the French waiter. ;) I totally get that. DS1 and I are not so sure dh properly appreciates Sherlock, but we let him watch with us, lol. DH says he likes Sherlock just fine. I told him I don't see any bouncing up and down on the couch before a new episode, so he is suspect. As Steve Moffat said, "It's a TV show. Only the emotional damage is real." "So he is suspect." YES! :iagree: And Moffat's quote, zactly! Watching now....."I'm a doctor, I know how to sprain things "......... :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: That may rival the "He's cluing for looks " from E2 This, precisely this. Love John! And what DH caught that I missed (no doubt b/c my eyes were closed b/c I was laughing so hard) was after John comes up w/ "CRIME SCENE" (in S3E2) he goes to high five their client. Hysterical! Wow. Just ... WOW! (I feel rather smug that I've only watched each S3 episode one time so far. Now I have something to do for the next couple of years.) I'm a newbie to this series, but here's my prescription for watching Sherlock. You watch each episode once to get the plot and get a few laughs. Then, you go back and re-watch, as many times as necessary, to savor each scene, each word, and each facial expression until you are intoxicated. Then, and only then, will you be S H E R LOCKED!

Chelli Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Fabulous episode! What a way to end the season! I don't think Moriarty is back, but a new villain instead who's using Moriarty's image to freak everyone out. It would be pretty difficult to fake blowing your own brains out. And I'll join all of you in methodically rewatching and rewatching all of the seasons because, honestly, why stop at just rewatching season 3?

Now we need to put on our best heels, hop on a plane to England, hunt down Moffat (Moffat!!) and make him promise it will not be another 2 freaking years before S4. If we happen to run into Benedict Cumberbatch while we're there, well, that's just gravy. I kept having to pause it, take a few minutes to do something else, and then come back to it. I might have exploded if I'd watched it all the way through in one sitting! You are stronger willed than I! Indy came downstairs twice while I was watching and I had to pause it. Both times I kept telling myself he's just a child and doesn't know what he's doing to his mother's sanity. See, I knew we'd have something to do during the wait. We get to argue about it.

Mergath Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The only clip I saw after the credits was like a flashback to Three Musketeers or something. Was there something else?!?! :scared: Yeah, the version I saw had that, too. Apparently someone messed up the ending somewhere. The three musketeers thing made no sense to me, so I had to go online and find out what it was supposed to be. Here's my spoiler-free version of what you missed, for anyone else who had the corrupted copy of the episode. You know the thing they all saw at the very, very end, before the credits rolled? It was a live-action version of that. At least, that's what my Google-fu turned up. I do think it's funny that so many people are now very confusedly trying to figure out how to incorporate the three musketeers into their Sherlock theories. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Clearly Sherlock, John, and Mary are the 3 Musketeers. Mycroft (mike -ha!) gets to be Cardinal Richelieu. Molly is D'artagnan because she's part of the team sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Here is my complaint about Moffat: It is like he is two writers or something. He has Sherlock and he has Doctor Who, why are they so different? When I see Sherlock I see discipline. I see tight plot. I see consistent character development and character growth informed by plot. I see continuity. When I watch Doctor Who under his reign I often see a hot mess. Plot holes, lazy resolutions, inconsistent character development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't stick. I can try again, and might, but Sherlock is scrumptious. is for you, redsquirrel. (Why can't I embed it? Rats.) And is it wrong that I want BC and MF to read Sherlock Holmes?

Plot holes, lazy resolutions, inconsistent character development I think part of the issue is that he has the outline already written for him in the form of the original books. I agree though, he is messy and all over the place with Doctor Who. I still like it, but it is messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have exploded if I'd watched it all the way through in one sitting! You know, that's the way I had watched season 1 and season 2 -- about 20 minutes at a time. I was a little worried about being able to sit all the way through season 3 episodes, as a matter of fact. And I knew that dds would insist on watching it all the way through in one go. But I somehow made it through. :tongue_smilie: Now I'll go back and watch them in my usual way. We originally figured out Tunnel Bear so we could watch Olympic coverage. Dd really enjoyed the BBC coverage so much more than whatever the U.S. was showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 But I also see Blink, one of the best episodes ever. Yes, and Empty Child two parter was also fantastic. But, in those cases Moffat wasn't the show runner. He was a writer and his scripts were subject to tweaking etc as needed by the show runner. I am not saying he isn't an extremely talented writer. He really is and the BBC is lucky to have him. But I can tell when he is invested in a script and when his attention is divided (perhaps between Doctor Who and Sherlock?). When he isn't invested then he gets sloppy. So often, a Doctor Who episode ends and I am frustrated by so many missed opportunities, hanging threads, and odd character developments. I just don't trust him to write a solid story any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
