BradHorse Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm also not in the camp really appreciative of Moriarty. He's what... a 30 year old evil supervillain with all the power and money in the world somehow? They went the 'cartoon crazy' route with him, which is fine I guess... but it needs to be done better than that (imo). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Agree with the last three posts. Whenever i see him on the screen i feel like verbally abusing my cat. He's just far too over the top . Moriarty is portrayed far better in the film's imo. The hound of the basrkervilles was my favourite episode aswell by far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah I'm the same. Everything's based around Moriarty it seems, I've never read the books but he's annoying me, seems needless him popping up all the time. I like him just solving the cases, it's superb when done properly, I just finished watching the Special there. Very disappointing. Eta: it reminded me of inception! Just got round to watching this on iplayer , I like moriarty , he pops up all the time because he is sherlocks biggest fear , that episode and all the appearances of Him where all in sherlocks head , I feel the dream was a big clue to what has gone on , I believe moriarty is dead but at the start Victorian Watson claims twins are a possible explanation to the dead bride appearing to rise from the dead which Sherlock immediately rubbishes however when he mentions secret twin Sherlock reacts much more uncomfortably to begin with before rubbishing his claim again , which brings me to two possible outcomes of how I think it is going to go down in the next season either moriarty has a secret twin which Sherlock has forgotten about or is subconsciously aware of due to some reason or if you back to the end of the last season mycroft says something along the lines "I am not given to outbursts of brotherly emotions , you know what happened to the last one " which might open the door to a bad Holmes brother, hence sherlocks uncomfortable reaction to the secret twin mention Edited January 5, 2016 by forever_blue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The boy that plays Moriarty in the series is an absolute diddy. I'm really surprised to the hate for this character. Really like his schtick. Wasn't massively loving the new year episode. Seemed a bit gimmicky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Been catching up on the stuff we'd taped over Christmas and New Year. Watched this last night. Thought it was very poor and not half as clever as it thought it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just watched the newest episode, it was okay. It did try and appear more intelligent than maybe it should have. The linking of the story between present day and the Victorian Era was a bit over the place at times. But I guess the show did have enough in it to keep fans going until the new series begins in 2017. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I thought that special was poor. Tried too hard to be clever and funny but achieved neither with much success. The Moriarty character should have his own theme tune he's become such a cartoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzoton Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think the twins reference was to hark back to another case, in Case of Silk Stocking it was twin brothers that kidnapped young women and they couldn't pin any murders on one due to alibis and wrong finger prints, no one knew of 'evil' twin brother of butler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Caught this last night on iplayer... A good episode but not a great one. I felt the waterfall bit near the end was a bit like the Bain and Batman scene from the Dark Knight Rises (the bit where he breaks his back) It'll be interesting to see what comes of the Redbeard reference at the end. Roll on series 4 in 2017 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Saw the trailer for the New Year's Day episode earlier. I hope it's better than last years effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Last year's was good when it was a one-off, but it ended up trying too hard to be clever. It's probably the only episode I haven't liked, though, so I've still got confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I was pretty disappointed in last years show and as it's one of my favourite shows I was a bit gutted. Hope this years is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I enjoyed that. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say much other than I'd splunge all over Molly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I enjoyed that. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say much other than I'd splunge all over Molly. Decent...as always.But I just think this show has run out of steam. It goes way too big with storylines and hypes everything up to 11 - every single time. Very quickly that gets boring. These massive life-defining moments are created and then the next trailer shows things back to normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as i love the show i kinda hope this is last series so they dont keep trying to milk it and end up ruining it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff14 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I feel these days that the case is more plotfiller in the recent episodes rather than central to the storyline. As above, maybe time to wrap it up, which is a shame as some of the early episodes were right up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I enjoyed that. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say much other than I'd splunge all over Molly. That would involve spoiling Molly, would it not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all the better for not being part of the ongoing moriarty plot line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just watched it. Generally a 6/10 episode, but the last fifteen minutes are a brilliant set up for the rest of the series. And lest we forget, by far the weakest of series 3 was the first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I thought it was just ok. 6/10 is about right. It's become a soap opera now but it was better when it was about solving complex crimes by clever sleuthing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
