BBC's Sherlock: Series 2

[jacobed]

Moffat and Cumberbatch are being huge *****es over Elementary. It's stupid and childish.

That's probably what Elementary will be like.

Now my pov on Elementary, I found the first episode really similar (on many points) to the BBC series but tasteless... Really, I just can't get what the point of this show (except money of course). Moffat may be hard on it, but imagine you create something and somebody else do the same thing as you, but not with the same purposes... you'll be cross too.

I saw he first episode of Elementary.

It wasn't awful but it felt very generic and less dynamic than the BBC version. Elemenatary may as well be the mentalist, House or any other detective show.

Millers Sherlock uses his phone alot like the BBC version although text doesn't appear on screen. Millers Sherlock didn't come across as super intelligent either.

Again I only saw one episode but the Sherlock Watson dymanic isn't as fun or intresting as the BBC version either.

Overall its a perfectly watchable show and I'm sure it will probably do well enough but it isn't bringing anything fresh to the Sherlock stock.

The thing is that, like you said, it's just another "detective show" like any other. Take the same script, change "doctor" by "mentalist" or "writer" or "legist" etc.... and you get a new show (some better that others though).

What I don't get is, who is Elementary made for ? Sherlock is way too popular all over the world, if it's not better, why bother...

What have they said?

 

[jonathancrane]

No, the creative team is the *****e in the matter:

Sue Vertue said this in January, "Sue Vertue, Sherlock Executive Producer at Hartswood Films, said: "We understand that CBS are doing their own version of an updated Sherlock Holmes. It's interesting, as they approached us a while back about remaking our show. At the time, they made great assurances about their integrity, so we have to assume that their modernised Sherlock Holmes doesn't resemble ours in any way, as that would be extremely worrying." She added: "We are very proud of our show and like any proud parent, will protect the interest and wellbeing of our offspring."

Besides, Cumberbatch was misquoted.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

What is exactly wrong with that?

 

[chamber-music]

I don't see how the BBC guys are *****es when CBS went to ask them to remake sherlock show in which the BBC guys said no as the show already airs in the U.S so there isn't much point in remaking it so CBS went off and made their version of the show.

While anyone can make a Sherlock adaptation the BBC Sherlock creators were just making sure CBS did not directly rip off 'their version of Sherlock' which is understandable.

Also the reality is Elementary probably would not exist without the success of the BBC version

This.

I remember seeing that awful sherlock holmes in san francisco 90s pilot.

I'm looking forward to seeing Colonel Sebastian Moran Moriarty's number two and chief assassin.

They could bring back Andrew Scott in a flashback and show him recruiting Moran.

Anyone doubting the faking his death, Watson got hit by a bicyclist to knock him off his senses and Molly helped somehow. Maybe she taught him how to land to exceed death or something crazy we'll have to wait for to be explained.

When 55 Days finishes its run, Gatiss will prepare to play Mycroft Holmes, brother of the sleuth, in three episodes of Sherlock, including one he wrote; meanwhile, the second of his two Doctor Who episodes is, as we speak, being finalised in the editing suite. He would like to continue his collaboration with Steven Moffat on both high-profile BBC1 series for as long as possible, but does not envisage any extension of his career as a novelist: this saw him produce three books about Lucifer Box, an artist who moonlights as a spy. "I have enjoyed doing it but, absolutely honestly, it's so much more work, in terms of being labour-intensive, than screenwriting. In a way, I never really got Lucifer Box the way I wanted it to be. I think, between the three novels, there's probably a good one in there."

First, I would love to see him as Charles I. Sadly, I live on the other side of the pond. But, it is good to hear that production will be starting soon, and that he wrote two episodes for DW.

 

[chamber-music]

I really enjoy his Lucifer Box trilogy.

Looks fan-made.

Looks fan-made.

that was my first reaction as well. But it doesn't appear to be

 

[Rowsdower!]

Anyone have any theories on how

Spoiler

Sherlock survived at the end of Season 2? I'm wondering if he had that lab girl cook up some of the fear drug from the Baskerville episode and slipped it in John's drink, so that he "saw" Sherlock fall to his death when what he actually saw was Sherlock toss Moriarty's body over the edge. Still, that wouldn't explain how the assassins were called off.

[antsman41]

Is Moriarty somehow coming back?

 

[ThePhantasm]

Its fan made, not an official advert. Found it on Tumblr.

 

[Nightwing 52]

OOOOH that is sweet. Even if it's fan made. Good find.
