Sherlock

[Achim]

Series 3 starts filming next week with plans to air over Christmas.

Thanks for the update.

Christmas?  That's kinda a long wait.

True, but each episode is essentially a mini-movie so not too bad of a wait. Filming will surely take 6-8 weeks.

Series 4 has been confirmed already by Cumberbatch also.

Christmas?  That's kinda a long wait.

Series 1 & 2 also played in that time slot and the DVD was released "instantly" after the last episode aired.

Each episode could be a 5-day miniseries.  Doesn't change the fact that it's still 9 months out.  I was hoping for season 3 this Christmas!

I was hoping for season 3 this Christmas!

I think you know that that was Peter Jackson's fault...

Oh yes, I'm well aware of where the blame lies.  Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

I know it's probably blasphemy, but Sherlock > The Hobbit!

I still have to see the second season ..I have 2 of the episodes on my DVR...I forgot and missed the first one.  I want to get the DVD..or Blu-ray. 

I did just get the Blu of Ripper Street.  Only $2 more than the DVD so I went with the Blu.

I'd be inclined to agree. The Hobbit is a fun movie, but ultimately I also enjoyed Sherlock more. Except that ending, which I am also waiting to see the resolution for...

[MEJHarrison]

Yeah, nothing against The Hobbit.  I'm just not a fantasy person.  I can barely sit through and episode of Game of Thrones.  But I'll watch Sherlock all day long!

Oh, but I also enjoy Game of Thrones quite a bit. It's pretty much a soap, actually And many people actually refer to to it as Fantasy for people who don't like Fantasy...

[MEJHarrison]

It still put me to sleep.  I'm hoping to get caught up tonight so I can continue watching with everyone else.  But that show has always been a chore to watch for me.

[Dragonfire]

I've never seen Game of Thrones.

[GSyren]

I'm glad you said that, Achim. I felt a bit embarrased about not liking GoT, but now I realize that it's because I don't like soaps, and I no longer feel bad about it. 

[DSig]

I too am happy there are others that don't like GoT (that doesn't sound quite right but you get the idea).  I tried reading the books but like Dune series, I just couldn't get through it.  And loved other George R.R. Martin works ...

Good i thought, when I heard it was coming out ...  but just can't do it.  After a couple of episodes I never could invest anything in it.  I think it is the machinations ... the many arcs that don't make sense to me.

Oh well, they seem to have a great following.  Must be doing something right
