I blame Loki...

I hope we don't see her again, I think that character is completely done with. Sherlock wouldn't have a distraction as big as her in his life so no point in a relationship either.

Sherlock is my hands-down favourite show on TV since last year.

Sherlock tonight. UK - BBC1 8:30m-10pm.
Just a reminder, I don't want you to miss it. (I missed the last one, not the same when you stream it at 420p )

The Hounds of Baskerville.

Okay. I'll only check this out if you guys can tell me for a fact that whoever's portraying Holmes can even *hold a candle* to the immortal and incomparable Jeremy Brett. ONLY then. Good luck.

And I WARN you: Connery's also the one and ONLY 007 in my book.

Brett was my favourite Holmes until Cumberbatch.

I hear you. I'm with you.

But this Holmes is different and it is very good. Try it.

I'd say the following:

Jeremy Brett = candle

Benedict Cumberbatch = Roman candle!

If Conan Doyle was writing today, this is the Holmes he would write.

Thanks for the reminder!

I heard an interview with Freeman that they all very much wanted to make a series 3 of Sherlock, he really hoped they would as he enjoyed it very much.

If Conan Doyle was writing today I'd want a word with him regarding 'fairies'....

What did everyone think of last night's offering? I have to say that though I enjoyed it I didn't think it was as gripping as the previous one.

I agree, not quite as good as the previous one, but then the story on which it's based is so well known, and it had so much to live up to that we can forgive them. Still very good though I thought.

I actually re-watched the first one just before I watched the second. So it was literally a hard act to follow. I haven't erased them from my hard disk so will give them a second outing in a month or so.

I disagree. I thought last night's was a much stronger episode. I wasn't wondering, after the first hour, where the plot had gotten to.

The first was better, but not by that much. The story of Baskerville is scary and I think they built the story more around thatand did it brilliantly. At one point I got tense and a little scared around the time John is in the cage.

The first, on the other hand, was more of a twisting and turning story that showed how brilliant Holmes is.

With 3 mins to go I was already eager to see the next episode, then they showed set-up for it at the end and may have possibly gone a little catatonic.

I loved that the lights on the moor that Watson sees that in the book are the two lovers, but in the adaptation are doggers.

I thought it was the prisoner signalling were to leave food in the book? Actually, there was a mention of a prisoner in the episode, unless I was hearing AC Doyle references that weren't there.

I've just checked the Wikipedia page, and so it is.
