I think I saw it at one point, but, now that I Better Know A Canon (This week on Better Know a Canon: Sherlock Holmes), I want to see it again, especially given its influence on Sherlock.

Well worth it.

Good Lord, people, why is no one posting?!

I think I like the Gatiss episodes better than the Moffatt ones. I shall need a third series to be certain.

Cluedo! Cluedo reference is made of win.

I am shocked that no one made a werewolf joke. I guess it's the web content people who make those sorts of meta-actor jokes.

Having just finished the Doyle, the references to canon were extra-amusing (light signals! Glowing critter! Sherlock staying behind in London--only not.)

I need to re-watch to figure out wtf was going on in that last scene, apart from Nothing Good.

I haven't seen it yet! Probably won't til tomorrow.

I fell asleep in the middle and didn't feel lost at the end, so I don't have much to say.

Is it possible that the "aren't they a couple??" constant references came to some sort of a head in my somnolence? Or is this just going to be a running joke for the slash fangirls, and not even do anything with it like draw sparkly hearts around a devotion so strong that the world can't believe it's not gay?

They did not come to any sort of head (apart from a heartfelt conversation in front of a fireplace with an honest-to-god heart-shaped wreath). Well, Sherlock basically said that John is his only friend. And then drugged him.

So, yeah, fanservice, mostly. This show is so comprehensive in the fanservice that I feel like I should be leaving a tip.

eta: What the Fucking Fuck, Mycroft? Is this going to tie into "Scandal" and Moriarty's leverage? The dude at the end, is that someone we know? He looks like the guy from the palace, but IMDB will not confirm that.

I'm saying this as a Supernatural fan, but I really like when the fanservice is dual purpose. Seeing that scene would have helped me.

I think I like the Gatiss episodes better than the Moffatt ones.

Really? I thought "The Blind Banker" was universally agreed to the weakest episode of the first series. I loved this one, though.

Cluedo! Cluedo reference is made of win.

Yes!

I kept waiting for UMQRA to be explained, but I guess it was just those random headlights after all. Except John brought it up after that, so I figured he thought it was real.

Blind Banker wasn't Gatiss. That was the other guy. The one who's writing next week's.

The best explanation I can come up with is that it was people walking back and forth in front of the headlights. Not a very good explanation, certainly.

eta: Oh, oh, and! I love the use of the whitetext this series. And that Moriarty's font is different.

Blind Banker wasn't Gatiss. That was the other guy. The one who's writing next week's.

Aha! That makes sense because I remember seeing that and being worried that he was being given the finale.

I had the same reaction.
