I ADORE the ‘new’ version of Sherlock and am SALIVATING for more episodes!

There’s a young man that works at my local grocer. He is the spitting IMAGE of the actor that plays Moriarty; I’m sure he wonders why this middle-aged woman STARES at him when she’s buying groceries; I’m just making sure he’s not going to KILL us all while we shop, LOL!

You all can say what you want - I LOVE this series. Not much on Free Government TV these days makes me actually sit up and take notice, but I love this series. (I won’t pay for cable TV and I use my Library for movies for the most part; may as well get some use out of SOME of my Tax Dollars!)

Ruin it for yourselves with your hypersensitivity. I would pay to watch Benedict Cumberbatch read the phone book. Maybe THAT should be the next episode? ;)

Yes, I really need to get that. I seem to recall the print was found in France, and had been divided up in serial format. Which is not as odd as it sounds, as serials were much more respected and an important part of early moviehouses’ scheduling, in the 1910s. But few exist in complete form, although I have watched some examples like “Dear Beatrice Fairfax” (1916) and “Lightning Bryce” (1919), both of which were quite good.

[Fiddlstix]

yes. I believe I’ve seen that same video. Conan Doyle comes across as a likable fellow that would be fun to engage in a conversation.

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

I too love the series.

BC has become more and more of a leftist loon.

I read somewhere that he was doing a play and at the end he came out and begged everyone to let in more terrorists and rapist from the Middle East.

This episode was a one-off that, as near as I can tell, was supposed to be a drug fantasy of the current-day Holmes set in the late 19th century. It was scripted by Stephen Moffat, who produces the BBC’s Dr. Who. It shared characteristics of the current Dr. Who stories — convoluted, self-referential, PC, and too clever by half.

I want to horsewhip Nigel Bruce. I utterly despise him for the bumbling dumbass Watson portrayal.

[marktwain]

Shouldn’t your ire be directed at the writer?

[Rockpile]

Yeah I know, writer and director but Bruce seemed to delight in turning Watson into a bumbling oaf when he could have bucked them on it.

[uglybiker]

It's abominabubbabbubble!

The only man that I recall in the movie, who did not look like an imbecile, was Moriarity, and he was a complete fabrication, a dream-wisp of nothingness, completely evil.
