That Sherlock clip was so ridiculous I thought it had to be fake for a second, but no. I remember I liked the first season a lot. I think I watched the first episode of the second season and then called it quits at that point.

People rag on Sherlock for stuff like the killer using a boomerang, but that is honestly the exact kind of dumb poo poo that would be in an original Sherlock Holmes story. Of course Sherlock figuring out it was a boomerang by just apparently being psychic isn't. The old stories would at least have a line like, "I saw a wound just like this when I was liaising with the constabulary of Alice Springs, but that's a story all it's own!". Doyle included a ton of asspulls in his stories, but he didn't write Holmes as being so smart he could see the past.

Sherlock is one of those shows where the antifans are and have been way worse than the actual fans, I feel like a lot of people just watched Hbomberguy's feature-length video about how Sherlock is objectively terrible and just parrot it constantly at any opportunity to look smart in the same way "shot, reverse shot" and "describe the characters without using their appearance or jobs" proliferated after RLM reviewed Phantom Menace.

My favorite thing is the weird contrarianism that pops up whenever people don’t like a thing pop up. It’s like the hipster version of not liking a popular thing The fact it’s for a show that no one cares about like Sherlock just makes it funnier

How is that new Dracula by the way? The only anecdotal review I've seen said that it started great and then around episode 3 took a nose dive so hard it made Twilight look like haute cinema.

Idea: Modern adaptation of Dracula where the Demeter runs aground with the entire crew dead only in this version the dead sailors are all rushed to the closest hospital for storage until the storm blows over and the entire film is set within the underfunded, understaffed and decaying small town hospital. Then of course the sailors wake up and start picking off patients and hospital workers must work to destroy the infestation of undead vermin flowing out of their morgue. I might already have a couple dozen pages of this already written and it might also be a stealth adaptation of that one episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark

Vagabundo posted:Just like one of Mark Gatiss' other show, Sherlock? Yep, or Dr Who. The first two eps are quite clever, and being set in the past they have all that great period scenery and costuming. Last ep is modern day, and so right off the bat loses that charm. The final "twist" at the end of the show is so loving stupid and just leaves a real sour taste in the mouth.

The Saddest Rhino posted:Mind spoiling the twist? They tease a little when Drac drinks the blood of a modern day Van Helsing descendant. He gets sick when he does so, not knowing why. The final denouement and "big twist" is Van Helsing revealing that most of the weaknesses of Dracula, ie crosses, sunlight, are bullshit. They've simply been perpetuated so long that even Drac believes them himself, which they prove when he's exposed to sunlight, begins screaming and then stops shortly thereafter when he realizes nothing is happening to him. Then a long spiel about how Drac is just a big puss, only going on through the centuries because he's afraid of dying. He realizes it's true, his life is a lie, and then he chooses to kill himself by drinking more of Van Helsings blood, which we now know is tainted with cancer and poisonous to Drac. The one real bright spark of the show is Dolly Wells, who plays the Van Helsings through the ages. Particularly in her role as Agatha Van Helsing, sort of a *cough* Sherlockian *cough* nun in the 1800's, trying to piece together the mystery and science behind Drac and his affliction, almost like a police procedural. She also good as the modern day Van Helsing descendant, but not with quite the same fun as the older Van Helsing. Bloody Hedgehog fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Yeah, holy poo poo I can't remember a more whiplashy change in quality between episodes 1-2 and episode 3 in any show ever. When Dracula texts the girl and ends it with a vampire emoji (and of course we see this via Sherlock-text-vision) my eyes rolled out of my head and down the street and now I'm blind forever.

The first thing I ever saw of Cumberbatch's Sherlock was that one episode where the villain ALSO has a mind palace and can think all good like so Sherlock's solution to his dastardly trap is to just shoot him in the face. It's a pretty good solution but no one else in the room understood why I was laughing so hard. e: The second episode I saw, later on, had Watson's wife as a spec ops ninja assassin, for some reason
