I was furious with Sherlock for what he put Watson through on the underground, with the bomb business, having switched it off. How cruel! Especially after he knew how W had suffered when he thought he'd died!
I also missed quite a lot of the dialogue, but didn't know what was going on anyway, even though I was trying to concentrate.

At one point I thought he was going to kiss Watson. That bit was very sweet. smile

Have you seen him in Worlds End rosesarered? I think of him as a David Jason type actor. He can take on may different parts and do them really well. BTW Worlds End was filmed in my home town (Garden City)

Three of us started watching, but we turned off after 30 mins as none of us knew what the hell was going on.
Apart from it being confusing, DH couldn't make out what was being a lot of the time due the sound quality. We know his hearing isn't perfect, but there were quite a few times when the other two of us didn't know what had been said either!
What a shame, as I had been looking forward to it. sad

Yes, it was a bit confusing [am easily confused!] Enjoyed it nevertheless, and loved the bit about the 'off button' on the bomb.Glad Watson got rid of the moustache [is that the correct spelling?]Though I can't see that actor now without thinking of The Hobbit [saw the film last week.]

Maybe I watch and read too many thrillers?

I just thought it was a double bluff, that he told the nerd the truth knowing he wouldn't believe it.

Marvellous! grin

Yes a bit confusing. Several different ideas of how he 'did it'. Will watch again on catchup. Maybe today. I DO love Benedict Cumberbatch though.

Loved it, but cannot say that I fully understood all of it!

Oh, I really enjoyed it! Farfetched death, yes, but they made it seem vaguely plausible I thought. Always have to suspend belief just a little with these programs I think!

Though if I'm going to nitpick, I do wish they'd shown it at the right season - would have been more appropriate to show it near Guy Fawkes surely? What did you DH say Pittcity. Be interested to know what they got wrong!

I think it is being repeated on BBC3 in the next few days so I may watch it again and see if I can make more sense of it!

ninathenana Thu 02-Jan-14 10:32:52

Well, there were three of us sat in silence and full concentration and non of us is any the wiser !

Grannyknot Thu 02-Jan-14 10:08:39

Nor me. But then I was knitting at the same time and paying more attention to that! grin

merlotgran Thu 02-Jan-14 10:02:06

I can't get my head around it either.

Pittcity Thu 02-Jan-14 09:55:15

Glad I'm not the only confused one.
It was made worse by my DH coming home from his night shift on the London Underground and pointing out the numerous mistakes.... confused

sunseeker Thu 02-Jan-14 09:43:31

Anyone else as confused as I am? I enjoyed the programme but think we still haven't been told how he really faked his death, and since when did Sherlock Holmes go around kissing women?
