Fortunately Moffat and Gatiss are taking an episode each again.
Unfortunately they've given the third to Steven Thompson the fella who wrote the terrible second episode and that awful Pirate episode of Doctor Who. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298213#Comment_298213 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298213#Comment_298213 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:39:45 -0700 Brandon Seifert Unfortunately they've given the third to Steven Thompson the fella who wrote the terrible second episode and that awful Pirate episode of Doctor WhoOh goddammit. What the hell guys? That second Sherlock episode was just unwatchably bad.

Maybe since they've got him doing the finale this time, they'll pay proper attention to the quality of the script he turns in.

Still, the other news is EXCITING! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298224#Comment_298224 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298224#Comment_298224 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 14:56:38 -0700 James Puckett Unfortunately they've given the third to Steven Thompson the fella who wrote the terrible second episode and that awful Pirate episode of Doctor Who.

Ugggh. I wouldn't call it awful but that guy shouldn't be given another detective show to write.

That second Sherlock episode was just unwatchably bad.

Not half as bad as the ending of the third episode. Moriarty was more convincing and interesting on Star Trek than on Sherlock. And who ends a three-episode series with a guns & bomb cliffhanger that obviously won't be resolved with anybody dying? Of course if they did kill Moriarty off the show could go back to riding on the acting. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298227#Comment_298227 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298227#Comment_298227 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:46:42 -0700 SteadyUP http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298229#Comment_298229 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298229#Comment_298229 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:30:01 -0700 Brandon Seifert Not half as bad as the ending of the third episode.I can't disagree with you more.

Like, it physically impossible. I thought Moriarty was the high point of the series, and every time I try to watch the third episode again, I end up skipping forward and watching the ending instead. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298233#Comment_298233 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298233#Comment_298233 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:50:24 -0700 TheEndsOfInvention I want to say 'Clockwork Orange' as well, he reminds me of Alex. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298234#Comment_298234 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298234#Comment_298234 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:52:16 -0700 TheEndsOfInvention BTW I didn't really register the second one's relative poopyness.

(then again, not sure if I watched it sober)

Still, the fact that Moffat is making more sounds good to me. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298263#Comment_298263 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298263#Comment_298263 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:22:26 -0700 ChernobylFrog
I'm not as well read on the original Sherlock series as I should be, how does Moriarty compare from the original to this portrayal?

I am heartened that Moffat is making more episodes, although he earned a lifetime pass from me for Jekyll. This is definitely encouraging for the future of the series. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298308#Comment_298308 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298308#Comment_298308 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:22:59 -0700 icelandbob
I rather liked it. Moriarty was rather unsettling in that he just seemed so cool about it all and that Holmes was just nothing more than an annoyance. If they portray him as a true evil genius, i expect Sherlock to be doing a lot of frantic catch-up style scenarios, constantly being on the back foot.

Good new on Gatiss and Moffat taking more episodes... ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298421#Comment_298421 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9950&Focus=298421#Comment_298421 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 14:20:37 -0700 TheEndsOfInvention
However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the denouement of 'Study In Pink' was underwhelming and that 'The Blind Banker' actually has a better, more exciting, ending.
I was all fired up for the dastardly trick that made people commit suicide... then, y'know... gun. That was a bit of a let down after such an awesome build up.

But two was, on the whole, unoriginal and far too silly. And can we please drop the 'mysterious-and-inscrutable-Chinese' thing? Maybe I'm being super-PC but it was kind of embarrassing... ]]>
