I should add that I enjoyed it very much too. I didn't TOTALLY agree with my better half! I could just see what she meant. She was the same with Signs, the Mel Gibson flick. I agreed that the ending was poor, but for her it spoilt the whole movie. I'm not THAT plot-led. I can still enjoy other aspects if it's otherwise well made enough.

There is a certain smugness about the two writers of sherlock.
Somewhere along the line it goes from perfectly decent to " Ooh look at me look how many plates i can spin"
All that flicking back and forth from victorian sherlock to modern sherlock - in the end i didnt see the point of making it so deliberately bewildering and pointless and by the end i didnt give a fuck. And this from a fan!

Enjoy jim. Regardless of whether it is entertaining up to a point, it is still the weakest of the series so far, by far.
If you dont like it as much as the others, you can always come and have tea and cake with me n Huey.

Yep, you'll have to suffer some misogyny and feminism as in the Victorian Era women were not allowed to vote yet. Interesting comments from Last Child about Victorian and modern attitudes towards women.
Joan, what was your reaction, being a woman?
As it's male POV series, the brief misogynist flashes of how the two leads behave in the Present is instructive to the male viewer (although everyone here - the males, probably - are just dismissing it as a "politically correct" message, which is unfortunate). But female viewers dont need a wake-up call since they're on the receiving end, and might react to the message with, to borrow an apt phrase, "no shit Sherlock."

Sherlock: Chronicles
By Steve Tribe
"A visually stunning and comprehensive guide to the hit BBC series, Sherlock: Chronicles tells the full story of the show as you've never seen it before.
Packed with exclusive unseen material, including all-new interviews with the cast and crew, this is Sherlock from the ground up: from story and script development to casting, sets, costumes, props, music and more. Each episode of the spectacular three series is remembered by those who made it, from the show's dazzling debut in A Study in Pink to this year's breathtaking finale, His Last Vow.
Featuring over 500 images of concept artwork, photographs, costume and set designs, and more, Chronicles is the ultimate celebration for Sherlock fans everywhere."
Until Joan returns I thought I'd follow up on my above post and declare my delight for the SHERLOCK: CHRONICLES book, which I received as a Christmas gift. It enthusiastically and comprehensively, uh, chronicles the behind the scenes stuff that went into the creation of the "programme."  It covers the first three series (but not the just-broadcast Christmas special, obviously). I highly recommend the book to the few Sherlock fans on this board.
I was going to submit it to the "Making of...Books" thread but that emphasizes older movies and probably Lucas/Spielberg bilge and I really don't feel like dealing with more sci-fi nerd pedantry at the moment.
