I'm going to read
Watched The Hounds of Baskerville this afternoon. Although it's a bit different from the other episodes I enjoy it so much! Sherlock out of control, Watson as well, the fear is so tangible. I love the scene of Sherlock and Watson, an acting pièce de résistance.
I enjoyed Hounds - mainly for what you mentioned, seeing the palpable fear, Holmes rather out of control. It was quite different from the original in atmosphere and plot, so it was fun and interesting for me. Out of the 2nd season, I enjoy A Scandal in Belgravia (especially the entire finale!) and The Reichenbach Fall the most. I like them even better than the first season.
I love how Sherlock is so surprised when John just tries to shrug his compliment off and runs after him shouting more compliments to stop him from being angry at him. These two are so great together onscreen! :))

It was written, shot and edited in only 48 hours! Talk about an accomplishment.
Brilliant! Thanks for the link @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7.
Well, my theory obviously needs changes but I noticed something that might be a continuity error but I'm not sure they make that sort of error and I don't know what to make of it:
I think the key to the jump is
I noticed that Sherlock knew what was going to happen from the moment he had tea with Moriarty at his flat. He gets more and more scared as he realizes it's really going to happen.
After all re-reading The Adventure of the Empty House might have served some purpose.
I might have gone a bit crazy with the spoiler tags. So, making a long story short, I don't know exactly how Sherlock did it but I might have an idea why he did it and where the story goes next ;)
I wonder if it'll be like the 1st series, and we will only
Has you read The Sign of Four? Just curious as to how many of us on here have read it.
I meant
Yes, she was cast as someone who
She's brilliant! Amongst others you can check her in After You've Gone, she plays Jimmy's girlfriend.
She's also Martin Freeman's long-time real-life partner, they have two children.
I accidentally found some footage of Sherlock at youtube, her character looks great!
I haven't seen Elementary; I heard it was not so good.
I still love the Brett series from the BBC in '80s and '90s but this new one captivated me. It is fresh and I love the main actors. The writing is sharp. It is fun because it does put new twists onto the old stories and lots of wordplay, even just with titles.
It's fun since I have read all the original stories; I can look for or pick up on certain things in this new series. But even without that, for viewers with no previous Holmes experience, the series is great entertainment.
Thanks for the video!
As has been said before you don't "watch" Sherlock, you "don't watch" Sherlock. It's return is always massive news, as it should be.
Don't feel bad mate, I haven't either. I do enjoy this series and the new movies though. I should read them at some point.
After that I recommend The Sign of Four.
And then you can go in order or not.
I've just got to list some of my favorites ...
A Scandal in Bohemia
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Adventure of the Speckled Band (I remember reading it in jr high school)
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle (I do hope they are filming that one, it's at Christmas)
Silver Blaze
The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton
The Final Problem
The Empty House (read this immediately after The Final Problem)
The Illustrious Client
The Devil's Foot
His Last Bow (which was the final story)
Allow me to transcribe a delicious excerpt of Watson's annotations on Holmes' knowledge (or lack of):
"SHERLOCK HOLMES--his limits.
1. Knowledge of Literature.--Nil.
2. Philosophy.--Nil.
3. Astronomy.--Nil.
4. Politics.--Feeble.
5. Botany.--Variable. Well up in belladonna,
opium, and poisons generally.
Knows nothing of practical gardening.
6. Geology.--Practical, but limited.
Tells at a glance different soils
from each other. After walks has
shown me splashes upon his trousers,
and told me by their colour and
consistence in what part of London
he had received them.
7. Chemistry.--Profound.
8. Anatomy.--Accurate, but unsystematic.
9. Sensational Literature.--Immense. He appears
to know every detail of every horror
perpetrated in the century.
10. Plays the violin well.
11. Is an expert singlestick player, boxer, and swordsman.
12. Has a good practical knowledge of British law."
Love that list, I really do; thanks for sharing, @Sandy.
Okay, I had to look it up. Here is Watson's reaction in the original story:
When I had got so far in my list I threw it into the fire in despair. "If I can only find what the fellow is driving at by reconciling all these accomplishments, and discover a calling which needs them all," I said to myself, "I may as well give up the attempt at once."
