The Game My Precious Sherlock Fans Is Finally On!!!
The show many people are raving over that is the new Doctor Who, the show people can not resist once they see a few seconds of it, the show that stars two razzle dazzle actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman who brings the famous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson from Victorian Era to Modern Day. That's us where we are!
Enjoy your stay here as we discuss the first three episodes: A Study In Pink, The Blind Banker, and The Great Game, (even the unaired pilot of A Study In Pink), which one did you prefer? What did you think of the actors performances, what you expect to see in the newer episodes, etc. It all happens here!
We're On Fire!!!
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!

*Screams like a fangirl*
I am totally in love with this show! My favorite episode is a close tie between Study in Pink and Great Game. Ben and Martin were perfect choices as the main characters, and I think the people who made this show possible are brilliant!

^ Wow already picking favorites? I can't even choose which one is my favorite because i love em all! Yeah in a special feature on my DVD Benedict didn't even have to audition for the role of Sherlock. The creators and director wanted him from the very beginning. I think that's awesome!

*Sigh* I love the picture you chose for the first post.... Is that from the DVD cover?
I wish I had the DVD... I'm hoping that I'll get it for Christmas.
Hmm... my favorite episode? Well I havent gotten a chance to see the third one yet; I have it recorded on tape. I definitely liked the first one better than the second (though I loved both).
I just love the chemistry between the two characters. It's actually hard for me to decide whether I like this Sherlock or the Robert Downey Jr. version (which was one of my favorite movies of all time). They are both so amazing.
What's everyone's favorite moments? I have a lot, lol. It's hard to remember them all, but... I really love the part where Sherlock calls Watson away from his meeting with Mycroft just to ask him to do something really simple (Was it calling smeone on the cellphone? )
And that girl who's totally in love with Sherlock... haha, that's so cute.
I also love how Sherlock kept getting in the way of Watson and his date, LOL.

I watched this a month or 2 ago and their is new episodes comign out next year, I love them. The newest movie is awsome 2. That taxi driver man was just scary, I would love to have a mind liek sherlock.
*runs in screaming "SHERLOOOCKKK! AHHHHH!"*
*runs out again*
*comes back in clam & composed*
I have been in love with this show ever since I saw "The Study in Pink" last Wednesday. It's amazing. I won't try to describe it because I'll fail miserably! But one thing I LOVE about this show are the hilarious lines & characters. Sherlock & Watson crack me up! Very quotable. Plus, Sherlock is just genius! For example, when he could tell that Watson was a soldier & an army doctor just by looking at the way he stands! And that he could tell all that about his brother just by looking at his phone for like .5 seconds! I couldn't believe it...
As for favorite lines, there's a ton of good ones! I love the thing about how Sherlock wears the nicotine patches to help him think.
W: Is that 3 patches?
S: It's a 3 patch problem.
What's everyone's favorite moments? I have a lot, lol. It's hard to remember them all, but... I really love the part where Sherlock calls Watson away from his meeting with Mycroft just to ask him to do something really simple (Was it calling someone on the cellphone? )
haha! yeah, he was on the other side of London & he told Watson to come just to send a text!
S: Did he offer you money to spy on me?
W: Yes
S: Did you take it?
W: No
S: Pity, we could have split the fee. Think it through next time.
As for a favorite episode, I can't choose! They're all so good. Except for that horrid cliffhanger at the end! AHH! HOW could they do that?! What do you guys think?

Haha yes, I'm a Sherlock nerd. Oh well. Here are some more quotes I've remembered:
W: Met a friend of yours...
S: A friend?!
W: An enemy.
S: Oh. Which one?
~~
S: Could you roll them back out for me?
Molly: W-well, the paper work's already gone through.
S: You've...changed your hair!
M: What?
S: You've changed it. It's usually parted down the middle.
M: W-well, I--
S: No, it looks good this way. It suits you better.
Molly: Oh...*smiles cutely, and turns away. Sherlock's expression changes from friendly to totally stone faced*
~~
Then of course the part in the Great Game where Sherlock acts like an old friend of the guy who went to Columbia, fakes the crying and then suddenly switches back to normal when he's done talking to the guy's wife.
Can anyone else come up with any?

A Study In Pink:
Sherlock: Mrs. Hudson took my skull.
Sherlock: It's for men.
Anderson: Well of course it's for men I'm wearing it.
Sherlock: True and so is Sergent Donovan... oh I think it just vaporized. My I go in?
*Anderson says something in German* something revenge.
Sherlock: Yes thank you for your input
*Closes door on Anderson*
I love Sherlock and Anderson's conflicts it is so hilarious! I hope Anderson comes back in a few episodes.
Nods head, yeppers the picture is the DVD set, now available in the USA and UK
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!

Oh my gosh, I love the whole Sherlock/Anderson conflict!
A: And we found the case in the hands of our favorite pyschopath
S: I'm not a pyschopath Anderson, I'm a highly-functioning sociopath--do your research!
A: So we can get into her email, so what?
S: Anderson, don't talk out loud, you lower the IQ of the whole street.
And of course any tiffs Sherlock has with the police in general:
S: She was clever, clever, yes! She's more clever than you lot and she's dead! Do you see, do you get it?
S: There are clues so obvious even you lot couldn't miss them!
Lestrade: Oh yeah, right, thanks. And?!
S: It's Rachel!
*Gets blank looks*
S: Don't you get it? Rachel!
*More blank looks*
S: Look at you lot, you're all so vacant! Is it nice not being me? It must be so relaxing!
W: So why do you put up with him [Sherlock]?
L: Because I'm desperate. Sherlock's a great man, and I think that one day, if we're all very lucky, he might even be a good one.

^ haha yeah! I was watching that last night at the same time when writing my screenplay!
Oh gosh please bring Anderson back! So funny!
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!
Jill+Tirian! Let there be Jilrian!
Those are so funny! The writers are amazing...
I LOVE the beginning of the Great Game!
S: *shoots the wall with a gun 3 times to give a yellow smiley face spray painted on the wall eyes & nose*
W: What are you doing?!
S: *quietly* Bored
W: What?
S: BORED! *shoot* Bored! *shoot* (something about not being on a case)
W: So you take it out on the wall?
S: the wall had it coming *flops down on the couch like a little kid*
That whole scene is hilarious! Then Watson opens the fridge & sees the head! Oh, boy... I could go do this all day!
W: You could always go [to the store] yourself, you know. You've been sitting there all morning! You haven't even moved since I left!
S: *flashes to when he was fighting, guy swings the sword toward Sherlock & he ducks*
W: What happened about that case you were off on. (something about a diamond)
S: Not interested *slides a sword under the chair back with his foot*
I sent them a message. *Punches the guy who falls unconscious in on a chair*
Oh, boy... Why doesn't he ever tell Watson this stuff? Like when that guy chokes him with the handkerchief, & Sherlock comes out all coughing, but he doesn't tell anyone!
--------------------
W: It's not obvious to me
S: What is it like in our funny little brains? It must be so boring...

You know what, Pendragon? I have no idea! Maybe it's just his nature.
Here's one from Study in Pink that gets me all the time:
Lestrade: So, she was writing 'Rachel'?
Sherlock *sarcastically*: No, she was writing an angry note in German! *now annoyed* Of course, she was writing 'Rachel'!
Oh, and the part in the beginning where Sherlock hacks everyones' phones to tell them that the police are wrong about the murders!
Awesome-as sig by Ithilwen, sweet-as avi by DamselJillPole. Thanks you two! *hugs*
^ i LOVE that last one! When you first watch it, you think it's the murderer, then when you see the "SH" in the text, it's like "What? Wait...HAHA! I get it!"
You know what, Pendragon? I have no idea! Maybe it's just his nature.
Oh, Sherlock! The mysterious mind of a genius! lol
--------
S: It must be a serial killer, LOVE those!

Hahahahaha! I love your theories, Pendragon! They're pretty much exactly like mine! Speaking of getting texts from murderers, here's a great part:
John: The murderer...you think the murderer has the phone? Wait--who did I just text?!
If I were him, I'd probably be grabbing Sherlock's shoulders and shaking him, going, "Why did you make me text that person?! Now a murderer has my number!"
(I'm gonna write that down, actually, that'd be great for a Sherlock fanfic )
Oh, and this little number when Sherlock and John are chasing the cabbie in Study in Pink:
J: I got the cab number!
S: Good for you. *Alternative route process begins in his mind*
Which reminds me of the one part in Blind Banker where John sees ciphers on the wall and he takes Sherlock to see them only for them to have been covered over:
S *grabs John by the shoulders and spins him around*: John, do you remember the ciphers? You must try and remember, because the average human memory is only 62% accurate!
J: Well I would if you'd let me get at my pockets! I took a photo!
S...
I love how they both work so differently!
Awesome-as sig by Ithilwen, sweet-as avi by DamselJillPole. Thanks you two! *hugs*
^HAHA!
I LOVE that scene when they're chasing the taxi, & you can see the map in Sherlock's mind! SO cool...
If I were him, I'd probably be grabbing Sherlock's shoulders and shaking him, going, "Why did you make me text that person?! Now a murderer has my number!"
(I'm gonna write that down, actually, that'd be great for a Sherlock fanfic )
You should do it! Fanfics are so fun to write! I'm gonna have to make up one...a GOOD one...mmhhmm...
One of my favorite scenes (here i go again! ) is when Watson & Sherlock are at the pool in the last one, & the bad guy has Watson straped to the bomb, & Watson offers to die for Sherlock! Then when the guy leaves, Sherlocks walking around & like "I can't believe it...that was good of you.." OH! SO GOOD! I love their bond! They did SO well putting their characters together. Sherlock gives Watson adventure & Watson shows him what loyalty is, & he brings out the more human qualities in him. Love it.
