FTA-TV Sherlock

[Red Black and Blue]

Improvement on the previous two episodes, there was something to work with, they just swung and it didn't quite come off. Agree with the sentiment that Magni wasn't imposing enough as a villain and the Mary angle didn't play out well at all for mine. Also when he started going on about the 'mind palace' it sent a shiver down my spine that was reminiscent of when Dexter would say Dark passenger, sooooooo cheesy.

I thought it was a really good episode until i saw the solution. Basically Sherlock solved it by blowing someone's brains out. Not exactly the intricate solution he is known for. Although I guess it makes sense. He just took out the vault, which happened to be in someone's brain.

Although I'm confused because I thought I saw some clear text overlay in Magnussen's vision. And not the Sherlock type text, it seemed to be from his own perspective. I thought maybe they would find that he had a Google Glass type device embedded in his contacts.

Magnussen was a pretty menacing villain.

I kinda like season 2.
Episode 1 of season 2 is just phenomenal.

Season 2 was great . . .

Bitch whine moan.. still better than anything else on tv

 

[Kirby]

That episode was much better. Not perfect but I enjoyed it.

One person can remember everything in his head. What the f#####. You really have to be quite stupid to think this show is intelligent. Good fun popcorn show though. Just have to ignore all the silliness.

If they were trying to replicate reality they'd just show a shot of us posting in a chat forum

It's like a rare orchid that only blooms for a couple of days a year

There's an awful amount to ignore.

 

[Hinequarters]

No, it's not.

Yes.. yes it is.. until early April at least

Is that when Danger 5 returns?

It must be pretty difficult. Freeman and Cumberbatch's star power has probably gone up x10 since Sherlock began. And even then they were pretty big names.

Thoughts on the just aired retro special?

Pretty good but they tried to do too much and it wound up being too complex.

 

[stewie griffen]

Bride story was good

Rest was meh

 

[Ry009]

Thought it was great and well exceuted personally.

 

[Elixuh]

^ Agree. Thought it was a great bridge between seasons. Clean and fast.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Great script - the Victorian era stuff was wonderful. Bit off more than they could chew with the Inception-ness of the story by the end, though.

 

[Lethality]

Oh no, it's another Mary episode.

 

[stewie griffen]

Solid until we switched to Mary

Nice homage with the busts

 

[Dry Rot]

Capital O ordinary for me I'm afraid. This show has been in a nosedive after season 2 IMO.

I read a good review which I recommend you read after you watch it - WARNING CONTAINS CRITICAL SPOILERS.
