Everything I've seen about series 3 makes it look like they go even further away from ACD canon. Maybe it's better not to get too excited about Moran.

[intrigueing]

What ARE the major rumors/spoilers about season 3 that you've seen? I haven't been following any of the buildup and I'm not planning to watch as it comes out, but I'm planning on keeping an eye out in case something grabs my interest...

[blueonblue]

thewalkingassbutt.tumblr.com/ was posting vague spoilers from the screening and answering more detailed questions privately. Now fuck-your-fanart.tumblr.com has been spamming the Sherlock tags with the answers to those questions, so if you want to spend time reading spoilers, that's where you'll find them.

It seems "The Empty Hearse" will be more action-orientated, Sherlock vs terrorists, instead of Sherlock being clever and solving cases.

...that second blog is a thing of beauty. Brings a tear to the eye, it does. XD

[(Anonymous)]

FFS, are there any mysteries in this show that are story-worthy because they're weird and interesting rather than because they're high-level crimes?

[(Anonymous)]

No.

What, they didn't do enough of that kind of stuff already? Or do they just want to make the Irish bomber shit a tad more blatant?

Non-BBC!Sherlock watcher here with a question

[(Anonymous)]

...I've been hearing a lot of spoilers and general info about the show and from everything I've heard, I gotta ask:

Are there any clients in this show? You know, when some ordinary person, not a police officer or government official, runs into personal trouble, doesn't know what to do, and goes to Sherlock Holmes asking him for help and telling him their story?

Is that a thing that happens on this show? Are the fans the ones not interested in the clients, or are there in fact, no longer any clients?

Re: Non-BBC!Sherlock watcher here with a question

Oh, they had "a nod" to that -- a fifteen-second montage where they "interviewed" clients and John wrote up barely pun-worthy titles for his blog ("The Geek Interpreters" etc.) and that was it. They basically turned into an over-egged joke.

On a serious note, no, they won't have clients, because they (Moffat/Gatiss) have decided Sherlock is a psychopath/sociopath so of course he's not going to want to have anything to do with people....

ayrt

Wow...really? Not just no clients, but also mocking the idea of having clients or taking them seriously?

Thanks. That killed my wondering about whether I should take the time to watch this show over the Christmas holidays pretty fast. Or maybe I should watch the episodes anyway just so I can argue with my sister who loves this show.

Re: Non-BBC!Sherlock watcher here with a question

There are client montages. :(

As a Sherlock Holmes adaptation, Sherlock is kind of terrible. The first time I saw "A Study in Pink", I hated it. But as its own thing, maybe a show called Dude in a Coat, it's fun. I watched it last Christmas, came away obsessed with DI Lestrade, who is really not a Lestrade, and wrote so much fanfic. ACD wasn't the greatest prose stylist or most consistent writer, but writing in ACD canon always felt more intimidating to me than writing for Sherlock does.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Yeah, I've seen the same. No spoilers, but they drop enough hints for those of us who liked A Study in Pink, they've torpedoed all that, and are basically making pastiches of the Rathbone pastiches (which were soul-suckingly stupid in and of themselves.)

All I've heard so far is "nods to the Canon." Yeah. NODS to the Canon. Which is shorthand for "We'll name-drop a title or two, but get on with the insane slapstick the insane teenaged fans want to see instead." Plus, the synopsis for one of them? "Sherlock has to give a speech at John's wedding." (This was given in a "spoiler-free" review, so I gather it's probably one of the B/C/D/E/F/G plots Moffat is so fond of introducing, then abandoning, like a speed freak with ADHD. Yeah, yeah, Gatiss wrote the first ep. Don't tell me Moffat doesn't have his sticky little paws all over it too.)

Then there's the whole thing the fandom's devolved into. (Death threats for Freeman's wife? Seriously? Time was, the woman was fandom's darling.) You know it's bad, when the fandom made it onto one of the work-related blogs I follow. (UK journalist made them read slashfic at the premiere. The author of the abomination was horrified, and I guess fandom is now calling for the girl's head. I say the fans got exactly what they had coming to them.)

GREAT BIG NO thank you. To all of it. Feh. *spit*

SA

Oh, and this is what I recall reading: The brother of the guy who plays Hannibal is Moran, John gets married (assuming to Mary Morstan) in one of the eps, and the character is played by Freeman's real-life wife, and there's a plotline that seems to be identical to the whole Moriarty thing, only it's with Moran instead.
