It seemed like they just wanted Sherlock to be a dick for the sake of it, because it's edgy or shocking or whatever.

Or because they wanted Freeman to do that scene and didn't care that the plot events that made the scene possible actually had consequences.

[biohazardgirl]

My money is on the latter. Gatiss has said that he really likes that scene because it's atmospheric and originally they even planned to do it in a meat locker (which, why? but idk) until they realized that made no sense, so I'm thinking that the how was totally handwaved. Honestly the only bit about that that bothered me was that while Sherlock was watching John in the camera room he had his feet up on the desk, which I think was an odd acting decision. He should have been more serious about it or something.

he had his feet up on the desk [...] He should have been more serious about it or something.

No shit! It's bad enough they did this, but for Sherlock to be so fucking casual about it? No. Just no. d-:

[biohazardgirl]

I pretend the feet on the desk thing never happened.

I mentally retcon a lot of things in Sherlock. . .

[fenm]

I hear you... ~_~

Season One was so awesome--hell, there are even things in TBB I liked (SARAH!)--but this season... ugh...

[biohazardgirl]

I am actually sort of opposite of you. I thought the pacing for the last two episodes of series 1 was slow (although it was still entirely enjoyable and left me wanting more!) but I really have a lot of things I like about series 2. More mental retcons, but also more things I like. In particular I am massively fond of TRF, despite its numerous flaws, and I also love all the domestic bits in ASiB (although that one loses its shine with each successive rewatch). Hounds for me has good rewatch value despite the small retcon.

ASiP is BRILLIANT though, and I think it has the least flaws out of all of the six episodes thus far.

I've never made it through TBB more than once. John seems angrier than usual in it for the whole thing and it makes me sad.

[fenm]

I like TGG until Moriarty actually showed up. I can't STAND him. Which meant a lot of TRF bugged be because... yeah...

And I liked little tiny bits of ASiB, but I'd love to transplant them into an overall story I'd actually rather watch then trying to ff through all the bullshit I can't stand just to watch a few minutes here and there.

"Hounds" is the only story in S2 I can tolerate watching most of. Compare that to S1, where I can sit through nearly all of all three episodes.

[intrigueing]

.....okay, no offense, but as someone who's watched nothing but miniseries and 45-minute, 22-episodes-a-season dramas until she was introduced to Downton Abbey last summer, this thread is making me giggle like crazy. Sorry! :D

[biohazardgirl]

Because we know our source material right left and center? Yeah lol it is pretty weird.

[intrigueing]

Nah, because of the idea of having three episodes a season :) Sorry, it's just me being immature, 'cause I've honestly never watched a show like that and cannot imagine what it's like. The waits between seasons and/or episodes must be awfully long. I remember whining that I had to wait three weeks instead of one for a cliffhanger resolution lol.

[biohazardgirl]

IT IS SO PAINFUL.

SHERLOCK HOW DID YOU DO IT? HOW DID YOU FAKE YOUR DEATH? HOW ARE YOU COMING BACK?

OH I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR TO FIND OUT? FUCKING LOVELY I'VE ONLY WAITED NINE MONTHS ALREADY.

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't leave us with a CLIFFHANGER TO END ALL CLIFFHANGERS at the end of every season. UGHHHHH MOFF AND CO WHY.

[(Anonymous)]

Or yanno, you could read "The Empty House."

[biohazardgirl]

Oh, yeah, you're pretty fucked in that regard then for this season. Next season Moriarty won't be anywhere so that will be good for you :D

Personally I adore Moriarty, so I adored TRF. I just want to cut the last twenty minutes of ASiB.

[fenm]

Next season Moriarty won't be anywhere so that will be good for you :D

Yeah...
