BBC's Sherlock Thread

[Dallas]

Season 3 kicked off Yesterday with Benedict Cumberpatch coming back from the grave.

Do we have any fans on BL?

[Sherrinford]

*raises hand*

Uh, so the new episode aired yesterday? I'll have to search for it, let's see if I can find it.

[Neir]

I thought it airs on the 19th??

I checked on BBCAmerica and didn't see it on the scehdule.

[Dallas]

It aired 9pm yesterday on BBC One. The next epiode is on the 5th.

[Neir]

Ohh, BBC One. I don't think we get that channel.

[SeiKeo]

Completely serious opinion, I prefer Elementary. Martin Freeman is better as Watson than *~ASIAN GIRL WATSON~* but Cumberbatch is too smooth for me - slick accent, perfect skin, he looks and feels way too neat.

[Dallas]

I streamed it online.

The Adventures of Curly Fu and Peanut

Is anyone else British and a fan? =|

P.S. you should all probably watch the troll teaser they did back at Christmas.

P.P.S. Leopard. What you think Sherlock is supposed to be? Disheveled and unshaven? A Kiritsugu?

"The human race cannot stop the invasion of Curly Fu," posted one commentator.

"Curly Fu is the sexiest when he plays violin," said another. "Curly Fu is my only male god. He represents beauty and wisdom, but better with his clothes off."

But the most fervent fans are those intent on finding a gay subtext to the relationship between Holmes and Watson. There are numerous Chinese sites that host Sherlock fan fiction, depicting the detectives as a couple. And among this group of fans, many identify themselves as funu or "rotten women" - young women who like gay stories.

"I have to say, this show is catering to our rotten girls' taste more and more," said one fan.

"Sherlock tortures Watson a thousand times, and Watson loves him like his first love," wrote another. "I've waited two years, and it didn't disappoint me."

JEBUS the Chinese have their own Fujoshi?!

A coke addict, for one.

[Strange_One]

Dunno about Coke, but Sherlock's gone off the Heroin :/

[Sherrinford]

So, I watched the episode, but I can't say I really liked it. It felt confusing and... well, not "serious".

[Dallas]

I sort of agree. I thought the initial 'him coming back' could have been done more seriously. I liked all the random theories as to how he pulled it off though.

[Strange_One]

Yes. It was a rather lackluster installment - let alone season opener.

[Dallas]

Gotta say though I love Moriarti in the last season he was so entertaining. Sad to see him go. Hopefully whoever this glasses dude is proves to be entertaining.

pet theory

Spoiler:

the one with the glasses is the real Moriarty, and the previous one was just his underling, who was insane and loyal enough to kill himself when ordered to by him so that the real one can have his death conveniently faked for him

Then again, I haven't read all the books, so there might be other formidable Sherlock Holmes villains that I don't know about.

Also, I enjoyed the episode. Pretty consistent so far with what I've seen, but that' just me.

[Strange_One]

He's Alfred in the Batcave.James Moriarty. Senior.

I know exactly what you mean. Discussing it with my younger sister after we watched it, I thought that it spent too much time on...'antics' as opposed to actual plot. Something like, yes, yes, the slash-fic-author-bait moments are all very well and good, well-executed, funny in most cases, but can we please focus more attention on the TERRORIST PLOT?!

Watson was really Moriarty all along

While I didn't mind this episode that much, I always felt that Sherlock dying would've been a much more satisfying conclusion (like Doyle originally intended to, before he changed his mind) to the series than continuing it with more episodes, especially since Moriarty is now dead.

[Strange_One]

I amused Benedict's actual parents were there to embarass them.

And he kind of had his mind changed for him due to lack of money.
