Sherlock, Season 3 (previous seasons spoilers)

[Shorty]

WHO'S READY



Discuss past season plot points and conspiracy theories as to how you think Sherlock could have lived from his jump. I have my own that I think Rantz agrees with, but I am interested to hear the theories of others!

[Slothy]

Had no idea it was so close.

I've only seen one random episode of Sherlock, and I enjoyed it. I purchased the first two series yesterday, and will be recording the new series for once I'm done watching them.

[Shorty]

Ooooh, do it! I can't wait to hear what you think about it

[Jiro]

I cannot wait

Did you watch the 7 min prequel? OMG ANDERSON HAS A BEARD. I love all his sherlock theories.



I'm super excited.

[Jiro]

I thought they weren't going to release that, awesome

[Del Murder]

Can't wait! When does Netflix get it?

[Rantz]

I'm so excited!!

[Psychotic]

How did he survive? Uhhh... why would a fall kill him? It's pretty obvious Sherlock has wings and flew away back to his treasure hoard under Erebor. He's only revealing himself to be alive as he's found Watson trying to pinch his Arkenstone.

watch me turn this into a Walking Dead-style thread
bawwww that kiss with molly destroyed me

John Watson looks like a Disney character with that moustache.

I don't know how I feel about the beginning scene. It was a little unnecessary, but it gave way to an easy explanation as to why he'd been away for so long. I do find it difficult to believe that he wouldn't have been keeping tabs on John, but I can see in his standard arrogance that he would think he'd be waiting all this time and thus wouldn't need to check up on him.

I don't know how I feel about John's fiancee. I kindof find her annoying.

I've always enjoyed the camerawork of this show. The scene changes, the fast-panning and slow-motion shots. I feel like there were many of them in this episode, and I enjoy them very much. They're great for the sizing up moments and are so, so perfect for the adrenaline action scenes like when they were rushing to save John from the fire. (Note: As I read the last text that was sent I thought, "I hate it when useless words are randomly capitalized!" After a second, though, I realized what it meant after recently being educated about traditions for November the 5th, and it all made sense. Confirmed not long after, to my delight!)

I still love sweet little lovely Molly Hooper. I love that he called her over to solve crimes and take notes for him. I love their chemistry.

I feel for John, and I both empathize and relate strongly with him in a variety of ways. Being so hateful about being abandoned for two years but just having enough curiousity and care for his old friend to not let that anger get in the way. He's also got a short temper once he's angry and has an air for theatrics, which I won't deny that I share with him.

The explosion of Parliament was wonderful! Not quite the show that V for Vendetta put on, but still a pretty great one. However, an explosives-filled train car is a little too much like V for Vendetta for my taste. Still, it works for the episode.

I love Anderson and his Empty Hearse idea. That was amazing. And that beard! I love the crazy person he's become in his grief and distress. And what distress Sherlock causes him at the end of the episode, haha. He was a character to dislike in the first two seasons, that's for sure. This episode makes me like him much, much more now that he's a little bit wacky.

It is difficult for me to conceive how a better criminal than Moriarty could arise in this season because he was just so exclusively perfect. I am anxious to see what they come up with. In a way, I would have liked to have seen more from the criminal's appearance in this episode. But I feel like it mostly needed to be about Sherlock's return so as to not already make the season feel rushed.

At first I was a little uncertain regarding how I feel about the death conspiracy shown at the beginning. I thought it was quite a bit elaborate and overdone and thought we'd just have to accept it because it's the explanation they offered, but then another cropped up. And it was clear they would keep providing possible theories to his death. And for a moment, when he was explaining to Anderson, I was ready to be so satisfied and pleased by having most of mine and Rantz's theory confirmed when he explained almost our exactly theory to Anderson, but as he was doing it and there was still time left in the show, I realized that it was probably just another story like the others. And more than the satisfaction than I would have found in having my theory confirmed, I think I like not knowing so much better.

MY THOUGHTS

The molly kiss was so cute. I died.

Anderson's wacky I love. It's great.

OMG FIRE BOMB. WHO IS THAT GUY? Seriously. Who is he and why was he rewatching footage?

I kinda like his fiance, she seems sassy/witty enough to actually semi understand sherlock. She figured out what the text meant fairly quickly it seemed.

Molly's look a like boyfriend cracked me up too.

I agree they'll just keep throwing theories at the fans since they had so many wild ones. The terrorist plot itself was meh. I understand though that the episode was more about bringing sherlock back and dealing with the time gap 2 year sadness.

The ending hat thing made me smile too cause he hated it before

We're having a viewing party in chat.

The episode was okay. Not one of the best sherlocks but I think a lot of it had to be dedicated to setting the scene anyway. New villain is interesting.
