Sherlock (no spoilers)

Jan 08, 2012 18:31

I've read several reviews of next Sunday's finale (the finale already ffs) that have made specific mention of Martin Freeman's performance blowing the doors off the place. One says it is the finest hour of his career (of course, they should have said finest hour-and-a-half of his career, but whatevs ( Read more... )

BBC confirms that there WILL be a third season of Sherlock.

Okay, I can breathe now. Not because I was all OH NOES they won't make more, but more because while I've avoided spoilers, if I understand correctly, the next ep. is based on "The Final Problem", isn't it? And I was more than a little worried about how they planned to end that. But if there's going to be a third season, I guess I can relax a little, yeah?

Yup - next week is based on "The Final Problem." The title is "The Reichenbach Fall."

(And yet again, idiocy does not fail to impress with its breadth and scope--I'm still seeing people referring to the original short story as "The Final Solution.")

(Damn you Michael Chabon for deliberately confusing matters with an otherwise excellent novella...)

I wish I could attribute it to Chabon's story, but I'm almost 100% certain they're just making the mistake of not thinking too hard.

Oh, thank God. People were not giving straight answers, so I'm glad there will be a third season. Thanks for this.

His face is honestly just the best thing. Maybe EVER.

Do you have a link for the third series news, btw? I saw that Martin had said it was the plan on Graham Norton, but I'm not finding a BBC confirmation.

I can't find the link, but someone from the Beeb said it at the Q&A after the screening of "Hounds" last week.

If you do manage to find it again do let me know, because Moffat is currently peddling the "Well, I guess we could do another series IF SHERLOCK SURVIVES" mularkey. I'd love to be able to point out how his attempt at ridiculous suspense in that arena has already been undermined. (I mean, aside from by original canon, which we all already know.)

Eh, he's just being his usual trolly self. Freeman said that the plan is to do more. Gatiss has already written the first script of season three. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi there!

The reviews are in UK newspapers online; I don't have the links on me, but you can go search the Times UK and the Guardian and the Telegraph and stuff. Look for Caitlin Moran's name, and... I can't think of the others.

Also Amanda Abbington on Facebook.

IF you want to know if your spoiler is legit, drop me a private lj message. :)

"If Freeman's performance in next week's episode is better than his performance was in today's episode, I don't think I'm going to make it through. I mean, hello WHAT with the ASTOUNDINGness, Martin "Fuck-You-I've-Won-A-BAFTA" Freeman?"

Agree with that statement. Martin Freeman turned me from a Sherlock fangirl to a John fangirl. He was amazing during season 1 and he's been even more amazing this season. I loved the first 20 or so minutes in ep 1 primarily because of his faces :). Ep 2 was just, WOW! He says so much with his face.
