Sherlock episode 2 thread!

[Allthingsprettyreturns]

Who is with me?

The guardsman was a practice run

Practise run I think redshoes.Totally random.

It was a rehearsal. To see if it worked.

Not too impressed with this episode either, but LOVE Mary!

I think we just expect more from it, it's usually so exciting.

Quite enjoyed it but far too much going on. Have a sore head now. BC is such an amazing actor though, he held all the weirdness together. The drunk stuff was funny but went on for far too long.

I thought it was great. Genuinely moving, and a bit exciting

Ah thanks....

Amazing - how they managed to fill a whole episode with complete padding, that's genius

Too long an episode for me!

DH and I really enjoyed it too.

Although I saw the photographer/belt/pregnancy a mile off. I prefer it to be a bit trickier than that.

Mary is great, but really that episode (and the last one) really should have been edited down to an hour

Watching it with ds who prompted win the last fifteen minutes with " mum watch it, something's happening now " pretty much summed it up, pile of tosh

Really really...sorry.....

Why why why does Steven Moffat write such caricature women? Such a corny ending. Ok, let Sherlock guess she's pregnant, but I wanted Mary to slap him round the face and tell him to shut up, she was going to tell John later. NOT be all blushing, what me? Little me, who clearly has no idea about contraception, conception, and periods!

It was brilliant, loved it.

I enjoyed it!

I think the pregnancy has sounded Mary's death knell - there's no way the dynamic of the show can continue when John has a wife and kid.

Unless they're planning some dreadful Uncle Sherlock the babysitter scenes

She'll either turn out to be the big bad (along with Lars) or, sorry, not survive next week.

As a piece of drama, I liked it. As an episode of Sherlock, I didn't. And I also spotted the answer to the murder immediately - and I'm Thickie McThick about this stuff usually.

Oh god, hilarious Sherlock doing a nappy scenes. Hilarious burping scenes. Hilarious why is it making the noise scenes. Hilarious putting it in dangerous situations scenes.
Please god kill her off instead.

Yes far too much padding and OTT camera effects.
Still want to fuck BC, though.

Agree that Mary might turn out to be a deep cover baddie.

Also I now have a totally hyper 15y DD1 who has school in the morning.

She's a total Sherlock addict, she's leaping about like a toddler fed Coca Cola and Blue M&Ms.

Evening all, i'm a bit conflicted. We only have 3 eps in the series, so am irked that so much time has been taken up with investigating and building the various relationships.

However, even slightly bobbins SH still has the benefit of being Sherlock with BC so I can't say I haven't enjoyed the two eps so far.

But why no Lars Mikkelsen in this ep when he's supposed to be the big bad?

I am actually hoping that Mary is a bad'un to make it all more worthwhile - as that would tie in with Sherlock's identification of her as a liar in ep 1 and his worried reaction to her reaction to her pg in this ep....

Ep 3 is going to be frantic tying it all together with the case of the week, isn't it?! And to have Lars Mikkelsen and not use him extensively would be criminal imho

Well that was weird.

It made me laugh something silly, but thought they'd got Sherlock all wrong, far too aware of his lack of emotion and just far too considerate.

is there only one more?

This being Moffat/Gatiss isn't it quite likely that the last episode's going to be UNRELENTING AWFULNESS and all this comedy fluff's just been build up to make it even worse? Maybe John ends up only being able to save one of Sherlock or Mary... That would explain all the emotional relationship building stuff, especially as he keeps mentioning how they're the two people he loves most and everything.

I actually quite enjoyed this episode - it was very un-Sherlock, but it did make me laugh. The belt/stabbing thing was a load of bollocks though

I did like the pissed deduction scene with the drunk words coming up on screen. Egg? Chair? Sitty thing?
