    Great trailer! Wow Nov, that one REALLY makes me want to rent this right away! I know I would love this w/ Benedict as Sherlock. It’ll certainly blow Robert Downey’s performance from the movie version. I could even tell than he and Martin Freeman are sooo much better and witter than Jude and RDJ, too, that ending part in the trailer had me in stitches. I also love Benedict’s voice, now I can see why you’re in love w/ him ;)

      The trailer is really an annoying teaser…in the sense that it made me wanted to watch it so bad. I couldn’t wait for the DVD to come out (I want to buy the original later), I asked a friend to download it for me. I was anxious to meet her but it took 5 days to finally met her.

      ow I love every minute of this movie (let’s just call it movie as it runs 90minutes), it’s witty and hilarious at the same time.
      You know I never watch Downey’s version of Sherlock, the moment I saw the trailer where he was tied naked on the bed put me off. The real Sherlock would rather die than being in that humiliating condition.

      hahahaha now you know why I fell for him ;)
      He is smart and annoying and charismatic. Honestly, I wouldn’t fall for him if I saw his realself before his character as Sherlock. His realself is not as attractive as Sherlock. Only great actors can be extremely charming when acting ;)

        Ahah, yeah that scene of RDJ tied naked on the bed is quite preposterous. It’s a very loose interpretation of Sherlock Holmes.

        Yep, I think look wise Benedict is not my type, but he sure has charms.

    I haven’t watched it yet but will do so very soon. I enjoyed the first series a lot. Never reviewed it although I wanted. Life’s too fast occasionally and one month later it becomes difficult.
    I’m looking forward to watch this.

    • Novroz January 14, 2012 at 8:20 pm

      I understand how you feel, that’s why I always review all my favorites straight away eventhough I don’t pusblish it right away.

      Delighted to hear that you like the series too Caroline :)
      Isn’t Benedict incredible? Moffat and Gartiss are great writers. I am begining to admire Moffat and love to watch all movies he wrote.
      This second series is as great as the first…well so far.
      I am now watching The Hounds of Baskerville and eagerly waiting for The Fall next Sunday (I’ll be watching it on Tuesday)

    I loved this episode too. I haven’t watched the next two yet, but we have them recorded. I just am saving it up!!

    This episode caused lots of scandal over here… with the nudity

    • Novroz January 16, 2012 at 11:57 pm

      I like this one better than the second episode, I haven’t seen the Fall yet. I have actually reviewed the hounds but it is still on scheduled. This episode really involved a lot of emotion…I love it.

      Eh?? really?? I think the nudity is just fine.I can accept that kind of nudity. What I can’t accept is the frontal nudity like in The Game of Throne (that’s why I don’t think I will watch its second season)

    I have just finished watching this episode and, as promised, I am here to share some opinions about it.

    Scratch that last sentence. I am here basically to geek about it !!! I mean, OH MY GOD!!! What a way to start a season, eh?? Moffat and Gatiss didn’t give a cliffhanger on Season 1 for nothing! They clearly didn’t want to disappoint Sherlock’s obsessive fans by writing an episode like this! pure geniuses!!!

    Okay, where should I start?

    1. The humor. Moffat should get some kind of Pulitzer prize for being able to combine suspense and humor with such perfect timing! I mean, those clever wits, endless throws and punches that made my stomach hurts! Oh God, it hurts.

    2. The brilliant duo that is Cumberbatch and Freeman. I’m sure I don’t need to say this again, but I just have to: Benedict Cumberbatch is THE perfect Sherlock! Not just the way he delivered those complicated lines, but also the way he expressed himself as Sherlock! He was simply perfection! From a simple facial expression to the all-round arrogant air about him, everything was spot on! A brilliant actor is needed to keep up with such performance, and Martin Freeman was just that and more. Bloody hell, I love this duo!

    3. Irene Adler. Now, this! THIS, ladies and gentlemen, IS a femme fatale! And I just LOVE the way this character is portrayed. A bloody Dominatrix, of all occupations one can have! That’s just badass (pardon my French), which is a perfect way to sum up the modern Irene Adler. Kudos to Lara Pulver for a wonderful job!

    4. The storyline. Dear God, the storyline! I’m telling you, I’ve never been so dumbfounded after watching a serial TV episode quite like this! So many twists and surprises, with a quick pace too! But golly, wasn’t it amazing?? And that scene near the end, involving both Holmes brothers and Irene: GOOSEBUMPS !!!! My mouth conjured so many curses and cusses throughout this particular scene because I was *that* amazed !!! I can’t write anything here without giving away some spoilers, so we MUST meet to discuss this. We just must!

    Last but not least, I HAVE to mention Sherlock and Adler’s chemistry! I just have to! It was so beautiful to watch! He has met his match, indeed. Again, Pulver did a marvelous job, but Cumberbatch….God, Cumberbatch! The way he portrayed Sherlock’s controlled emotions every time he was with Irene was just pure genius! And his performance in that scene with the camera phone’s password?! I can just die !!!! Cumberbatch, I grovel at your feet!

    Again, we must meet to discuss this, Miss! We just must! or maybe chat via YM? ;-)

    • Novroz April 22, 2012 at 6:46 pm

      Whahahaha!!! I know you would be amazed!!! Can you believe that I watch this episode again the moment I finish it? I was soooooooo thrilled by this episode, it was like viewing it just once was not enough…not enough at all!!! It was THAT good.

      The humor is crazy…hilarious at perfect timing…don’t you just love that Buckingham Palace scene ;)

      I don’t need to tell you again how I agree I am to that statement…BENEDICT is THE MOST PERFECT SHERLOCK I HAVE EVER SEEN!! It’s gonna be hard for other actors to fill in the shoes from now on.

      For the first time in My life, I have to say that Irene Adler is much better in this series than the book!! Ha! It’s a bid compliment from someone who mentioned that no movie is greater than the book, but THIS Irene Adler is way more interesting than Irene Adler in Doyle’s book.

      Ah…no need to mention how brilliant the storyline is ;)
      Out of 3 episodes, I like this one the most….but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the rest ;)

      Can you blame me for turning into one of the Cumberbitches? He is genius!!!

      I haven’t install my YM yet ;)
      Let’s chat through FB.

Would love to read what you think about this post :)
