What TV Have You Seen?

Not sure if the last episode of Sherlock was pure genius or self indulgent toss. Probably a bit of both actually.

The final scenes suggest that might be the end of it all and i hope so based on the evidence of this series as it's not Sherlock as we know and love, it's not even the same Sherlock as the first two series that we all loved.

Did anyone notice the use of music from John Carpenter's The Fog in an early scene as the house was being approached.

Oh and Mrs Hudson vacuums to Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast...just as i do.

How odd that Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss can use Iron Maiden and Queen in a soundtrack and it sounds really good but Argento made it seem ****ing horrible to say the least in Phenomena.

I really enjoyed it as a bonkers episode of The Crystal Maze set in a Bond villiain's lair.

It was very good in that respect but it didn't have an awful lot to do with Sherlock Holmes.

The writers used a lot of influences and suggestions that they'd already practiced in Doctor Who. From the girl in the airplane (The girl from Silence in the Library) to the whole 'Good man' idea and several others in between.

It kind of felt like a PG Saw film as well.

Just finished watching it, I couldn't help thinking of Saw as well. I thought last week's episode was probably the best of this series. This week's had its moments but was a bit slow for my liking. The whole iconic hero and his ancestral home also felt a bit Skyfall or was that just me.

Yes it did feel like Skyfall, agreed.

Tried watching emerald city, cant exactly explain why but just couldnt really get into it, wasnt keen on any of the characters, especially dorothy she seemed to lack anything of a character not much emotions or come across like she was frightened lost puzzled scared, look at her in the series and dorothy in Wizard of oz there miles apart in the acting, and character, it was also like she was transported into the future as well which not sure why but put me of, just cant pinpoint exactly what but just couldnt take to it all.

Dead zone
Tru calling

The only one I've ever watched properly was Roswell. It's, er, okay, I guess, though season 1 is often agonisingly slow. There are some very nice young ladies in it, though.

The only one I have seen is Roswell, which I really enjoyed when it was broadcast and on one (I think) subsequent viewing since then.
