Why, Sherlock, Why?


How many were shocked and somewhat disappointed by the lack of conclusion to the three episode series of Sherlock?

I know that they are planning on another series but still, according to Masterpiece Mystery scheduling, we'll have to wait until this time next year to find out what happens. And you know something amazing must happen because it doesn't look like our heroes have a chance at all of surviving, even if they do take down Moriarty.

Oh, and speaking of James "Jim" Moriarty? That actor, Andrew Scott, was amazing. Now, that is the way to play a diabolical genius that is capable of anything. His great acting, mannerisms, and strange voice inflections were all working for him! He may not have gravitas, but I sure would be scared in a small space with him, wouldn't you?!

So I still love this series but to wait a year...

Andrew Scott is currently in an Old Vic revival of Noel Coward's Design for Living. The set designs and costumes look wonderful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78vaRnp3k60). I hardly ever go to the theatre (about once every 5 years) but I'm off to see it in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

And yes, having to wait a whole year for the follow-up to Sherlock...

Good for you Nathalie! Just wondering, do you know anything about Watson's coat with the leather patches? I love it and was wondering if it caught on there or if it's a known brand. Thanks!

I kind of loved the ending of the episode! It is crazy waiting so long for the next series, but there's a lot to see in between, I guess. Funny you mentioned Watson's coat, as I was checking out those leather patches, too. Even his shirt in Sunday's episode had elbow patches.

Such amazing programming! Everything about it was well done, and I'm just beside myself that they only gave us three shows!
There may have been some expletives voiced over here at that ending ;)
I do not do well with a lack of closure, and I hate waiting!!

Well, the Moriarity episode had to end with a cliff hanger, the book does! (Which almost got Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lynched when it was first published)
