Jd-'s post about the 'dead guy' wandering about in his normal clothes and how he should bleach his hair, next thing we know, we'll find out that 'Sherlock' is apparently amnesiac and there's a guy who looks quite like him (other than the bleached hair and maybe some glasses) who keeps on cameo-ing for half of the first episode next series ... made slightly funnier by the fact that his actor is the one chosen to play Akai in the Conan Actors topic... Conan references ftw.
And, yeah, Moffat's style is so easy to spot at this point, Moriarty is obviously the Master, then there's all the other parallels... why do I wish there would be a Doctor Who/Sherlock crossover so much...? They'd just fit together perfectly *_*
Well, off to see what new ficcage this last episode has created so far... o/

I loved the season as a whole, but yeah, 3 episodes a year is way too short!
about the last one: Yeah, Moriarty was the Master, but I'm not sure if the Master was really that much mind-f***ing, the guy was a total nutcase, he committed suicide just to ruin Sherlock's reputation even more.
I'm also still wondering, like others, how he fell from that building without dying. Even if it was fake, it got me all teary eyed, poor Watson.

Finally done with Hounds. It was great. Now I have to wait for exams week to finish before I can watch the next, and I'm already spoiled! XD
I have no problem with them being 3 episodes each series because I tend to drop live-action shows when it becomes too long, with possible exception of Game of Thrones
Because American remakes of British shows are always sooooo good. [/sarcasm] I can already smell impending fail from Holmes living in New York. I also have the vague suspicion that they're going to cut down on the Holmes/Watson homoerotic jokes, which is half the joy of the franchise, you have to admit.
The show has plenty of potential if they adapt the original stories in an hour-long format. It doesn't have to compete with Sherlock--we can just be glad that Holmes is experiencing such a resurgence and if this show turns out good (which it very well could, given that there is already some talent behind it), that can only be a good thing. If it turns out to be bad, we'll still have Sherlock. That's how I see it.

When the American show ends up going back in time to erase the existence of Sherlock so it can be the best, you're gonna feel so embarrassed.
If that happens, what will happen to your post? And... this topic! Once it's erased, I won't be able to feel embarrassed on the subject! Would it all cease to be? Or would this topic exist only years later as "Elementary"? I demand answers!
It will make sure to utilize localized time waves to minimize structural damage to the space-time continuum. After all, if it rewrote history completely, Sherlock's nonexistence would remove the reason for the show to go back in the first place, creating a Grandfather Paradox type of situation.
This topic itself will still exist, but in the end we'll just think we were talking about a made-up hypothetical Sherlock Holmes show. Other people may feel like they remember it too, but there will be no records at all of the show itself and people will write it off as a trick of the mind. Then, I'll be bored one day and read through the past posts, see my comment, and post "well since the show Sherlock never existed, for all we know, it actually was erased from existence!" and you'll just go "haha, wouldn't that be something?" and laugh it off.
But deep down, you'd entertain the idea that it was possible. And you would be so embarrassed.
it would just be erasing the BBC Sherlock series, not the original Sherlock Holmes works itself.
If a Sherlock Holmes derivative went back in time to destroy its very source material, no amount of safety measures could stop a paradox from occurring!
