That Russian version looks fantastic! Shocked

but I didn't recognize the story that developed after the book introduction was interrupted. I'll have to go back and watch more....time to go pull my laundry out of the dryer.

I think what Petty points out is essentially true for the first few stories- Halfy

{{ I don't! -its true all the way through- Holmes is still making cryptic quips about Watson's private life- Doyle is still giving him wives, and he still has the same financial issues.

I dont disagree with you that its largely writers conveyance (I said that above ages ago) but you cant take that as the reason when adapting the character from the page- you have to deal with what is actually there on the page- and on the page Watson likes the good life, seems to like the ladies and his lifestyle, despite being a successful (and remember supposedly famous from the stories in the Strand, from which presumably he also makes income) Medical Doctor with his own practice is always running out of money. That's all as true in the later stories as it is in the first ones.}}

The point is that Mary in Cumberbatch's version is totally extraneous to the story and it was a big mistake as it was wasting time in boring domestic filler when they should be doing what they did in seasons 1 and 2. indeed it backfired because nobody likes Mary as an intrusion into what should be a story about 2 men. No idea why Moffat thought it was a good idea but it was probably to deal with criticisms about the sexualisation of Irene Adler by introducing a 'strong female' character. But the super spy thing was ridiculous she still ended up saddled with domesticity and fridged asap.

'that Mary in Cumberbatch's version is totally extraneous to the story'- Figg

{{As she is in the original. }}


they should be doing what they did in seasons 1 and 2.

{{series 2 is not the same as series 1. Nor is it in Moffats style - look at his tenure on Who- not one series has the same tone or format as the other- they are different.}}

'what should be a story about 2 men'

{{It still is- you were just complaining Mary was fridged just to create story for the 2 men! But the story Doyle told about these two men is not necessarily the same as what Moffat and Gatiss are telling.}}

I watched the more recent one first, and thought it was looking fantastic...until about 10 minutes in we finally meet Sherlock. Everything about him was totally wrong, and I soon quit.

The older one doesn't look as good, but Sherlock is much closer to correct. Still doesn't have the magnetism the role requires, though.

Finally got to see an episode without nodding off Smile I thought it was brilliant Smile I think I'm expecting to see Mary pop up for just a fleeting second as Watson slowly releases her out of his system. You don't get over something like that in a hurry. I cant believe they said "the concluding episode next week" ?? WTF ?! Toby Jones was an obnoxious baddie, he really made your skin crawl & your tummy lurch. The reveal at the end I'm not sure I'm gonna buy but, we will see.

I liked that Sherlock finally said "the game's afoot!". Hearing him saying "the game's on" over and over the last few years made me grind my teeth. It didn't last, alas.

What else? Oh yeah,

are you talking about the Russian one? in which case I agree, it wasn't Sherlock and it felt wrong, still they had a good go at it. Very Happy
