Martin Freeman said they want to do one more series, but they don't know when because of his Hobbit commitments and Benedict Cumberbuch is in the new Star Trek.

 

[soze]

It seemed like a Season ender not a Series ender but i suppose it is wait a see time. As i do not remember a Sherlock will return next year like on the other BBC shows.

 

[soze]

Holy cross overs Batman.

The BBC has confirmed that a third season of Sherlock is happening. Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16573066

You don't show a gun in the first act, make reference to it and NOT use it by the third act.

Spoiler

By gun, I of course mean the hanging dummy in their flat in baker street. Also, pay heed to the fact Holmes didn't want Watson to come too close to the hospital. Did we have confirmation that the building Moriarty and Holmes had their standoff was in fact the same building (or same side of same) that Watson looked up to the roof of...? The crowd around the body were in on it, the paramedics who switched out Holmes and the dummy were in on it, and the cyclist was a deliberate ploy.

 

[ECA]

Don't forget the conversation Holmes had with Holly about needing her.

SPOILERS!

BACON!

THey all die

tbh I don't think they should have shown him at the last. something much more subtle would have been nicer imo.

Spoiler

The fact he had Watson watch HIM jump and the fact that what we saw falling was HIM and not a random stiff is what needs explaining.

Spoiler

Body double, help from Holly, and him not being on the same roof, or the same side of the building as watson. All could explain that.

 

[soze]

Spoiler

With Watson watching we see him jump. We then see him flapping his arms, so alive not a body at that point. We see him hit. Then Watson Runs forwards and the body is on the pavement all before the hit with the bike. There is the Van and the other things behind it. Maybe Sherlock lands in there and then the decoy body is put there?

Fuck Chekov. Fuck him.

Spoiler

Sherlock says to Molly that he needs her for something, and that's the last you hear of Molly in the episode.
Go watch that scene again on iPlayer. You'll realise that Watson doesn't actually see Sherlock hit the ground because he's knocked to the floor. The truck pulling away had hospital laundry in it. I think Molly got a body in many ways similar to Sherlock, smashed the face in and threw it from a lower window.

Since the episode's title refers to the Reichenbach Falls and the stories at least broadly follow the books, and kept referring to the "final problem" all the way through the story, its fairly obvious he's not dead, so why not show him? Its not exactly a spoiler...

 

[Moriath]

dont like the fact its put in modern times .. sherlock will always be victorian to me and will never be in today

Like west side story and romeo and juliette etc its just wrong

Only change i know that got away with it is seven samari and star wars but thats cause no one has seen seven samari before they saw starwars

Speak for yourself. And how is Star Wars based on the Seven Samurai anyway? I think you mean The Hidden Fortress (and the cantina scene riffs on Yojimbo)

 

[Scouse]

The Magnificent Seven is based on the Seven Samurai.

Spoiler

It'll be down to the elder brother imho (who's name I forget). Did everyone forget that in the previous episodes he was staging a plane full of dead bodies to fool terrorism?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Seven Samurai has formed the basic narrative of many a re-working but Star Wars is not one of them.

 

[Sar]

Fuck Chekov. Fuck him.

 

[Moriath]

The Magnificent Seven is based on the Seven Samurai.

oops knew it was based on something hehe bad me getting my films mixed up hehe

 

[old.user4556]

Lots of people at work keep asking "How did Sherlock Holmes not die?"

I always reply "Elementary. He's a fictional character. You fucking boring, gay, Dr Who watching, speccy, retarded virgin".

Hmmm.....3 of those relate to me, not saying which ones though

I actually didn't twig any of that tbh. Ofc I was programming while watching so I guess that nixes any of my otherwise smarmy retorts
