S2 started tonight and the first ep was pretty much orgasmically good.

Sherlock feels like a cross between Holmes and the Doctor. I'm gonna like him.

SPOILERS

Anyone who didn't expect the name to be Moriarty has no right to watch this program. Also, knew it was the cabby when they were chasing the cabby the first time. Knew it was the cabby when the phone was at 221b.

Also, literally WIFOM. Believe both pills were poison.

Thank you for saving me the energy of making this topic. Man tonight's episode was so so great.

My ranking:

3>4>1>2

Tonight's was REALLY REALLY GREAT, but I think that I still prefer 3 for that little showdown.

Kind of gonna feel like there wasn't enough buildup if we get Moriarty in the finale, TBH. Kind of hope he isn't in it.

I've JUST realised where I've seen Irene before (well, the actress that played her).

She was in Spooks, another excellent BBC drama.

It's so damn lame that this won't be in the U.S. for another couple months. I don't normally pirate things but I'm going to have hard time not doing so with this. I loved the first season.

Edit: Wow it's not till May. There is no way I'm waiting.

Yessss. I've been hyped for next week's episode since the titles got announced.

Baskerville is my second favorite Holmes novel.

Valley of Fear>Baskerville>Scarlet>Sign of Four.

And oh god oh man, the episode after that is...yesss.

I hope there's a season after this one.

I've read the story its based on before, which I realized about halfway through the episode, hah

Holmes not knowing who Moriarty is is weird

i liked the first season, but a lot of holmes's deduction bothered me.

SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST SEASON




the case where he deduced that the dead woman with the suitcase had been cheating on her husband based on her ring being polished on the inside felt kind of weak. i have a ring and i play with it all the time, taking it on and off my finger by force of habit.

there's also one case where he picks up the ONE important book from a pile as he's walking out, for no reason whatsoever.

for a show based on a character of logic and deduction, there sure seems to be a lot of luck in the crime solving going on!

What kind of math is that? I think you mean 4 episodes. Which would still make the combined 3 episodes roughly half the length of a regular season of anything here.

My question: All episodes are solvable, right? That is, the viewer has an equal shot at it as the detective if they're clever?

Not...quite. You can follow along individual deductions but it's not meant to be "solvable." The original Holmes stories predate the concept of novels being solvable by the reader though, so it's not a strike against it.

5 episodes exist at the moment, I've seen one, four more remain. I assume I can access them online, even if they've only played in the BBC.

I also assume that, after I finish those five, I won't remember to watch the 6th till it airs in the US.

I can understand how that might've been unclear I guess.
