Okay, when me an' crantz write a Sherlock story full of deliberately insane and exaggerated bullshit, it's really kind of disturbing to see some of it actually happen on the show.

Hilarifying.

*snort* Good one!

Everyone else on my flist who watches Sherlock is flailing and wailing and gnashing their teeth.

So, sounds like Ep 3 is best left to watch just before S3 starts. (I hate cliff-hangers. Even when I know the basic outcome. I'm all STOP FUCKING WITH ME TV PEOPLE!)

It's not a cliffhanger, oddly enough. I think they realized that there's really no point. It's just awfultraumy.

Ah, that, yes.

People right and left are upping their anti-anxiety meds. *rueful face* I say that with no sarcasm whatsoever.

Well, it really *would* be a bit silly, you're right, to try it on as a cliffhanger.

I watched it this morning and was seriously wishing I hadn't tossed the expired Seroquel. I'm also glad I'm not a small child because JESUS CHRIST. It's a future generation's version of Daleks trundling through Westminster.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like something I wanna see soon. Yikes.

I'm just going to quietly get caught up on S1 on PBS the next few weeks.

And hold off on S2. Until S3 is airing.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Actually PBS' episodes are all cut.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

They do it with all their Masterpiece stuff. Suzan and I gaped in shock when we saw what had been cut from S5 of Lewis.

Gosh, just so that we can see Alan Cummings (bleah) and Laura Linney (meh).

I have uncut DVDs eventually arriving, so I'm good.

I'm sure they cut stuff from Cranford 2 (which our strapped-for-cash station never showed) and Downton Abbey, too. Thank goodness that stuff is reasonably priced after awhile at Amazon.uk.
