I am particularly loving Martin Freeman's Dr Watson. They couldn't have cast this show better.

I went through a series of clicks, but ultimately it wanted me to download software, and I'm not ready for that level of commitment.

I liked the first out of the three: fast moving, complex and decent plot. - Parts 2 + 3 didn't live up to that on any of those counts.
Love Mrs. Hudson

Ep 3. Just seen Mark Gatiss's husband as Moriarty's Defence Barrister.
He's a good actor so I can't complain.

Oh yay. Another monthly subscription. I already pay for Netflix and Hulu Plus. Any more and I might as well get a dish. 120 channels for $34.95 a month. Free installation. I wonder what a second and third box would run me?

Umm...it's just a portal site. There's no fee.

Damn, I thought I worked out what we were all missing (according to Stephen Moffat).
I heard Sherlock get a text message before he started laughing.

On rewatching, no text alert.
And I suppose I should have realised that he wouldn't have the old standard SMS Nokia text notice.

It must have been my Mum's phone going off downstairs!

Back to the drawing board.
I've never been any good at this type of puzzle.
Usually what I think of as a clue turns out to be a plot hole.
Like how long it takes to get a headstone erected (3-6 months).

SPOILERS!
One thing out of character for Sherlock, apart from the emotion in his voice and choosing to make a phone call instead of sending a text is his distress at Moriarty's death. Moriarty was a villian and Sherlock is a pragmatist. He's seen corpses before. Moriarty was trying to kill him. So what is he sniffing into his sleeve for?

Sundae, you didn't read the books. That's the trouble with telly. No one reads anymore!

Moriarty was an intellect equal to Sherlock's own, by his own reckoning. He was likely mourning for the loss of the challenge.

Spoiler!

Moriarty never quite dies.

I've read all of the Sherlock Holmes books and stories!
I still don't think Sherlock would blub at Moriarty's death. YMMV.

Tonight on BBC FOUR: Diana Rigg in the Mrs. Bradley Mysteries. Think I'll give this a try if my DVR doesn't play up.

Watching series three of Whitechapel online.
Second ep.
I still like it, but I think some of the world out of time aspect is missing.
Locations and peripheral life are more resoundingly modern.

Pemby has lost a lot of weight!
Makes him look older. Although he is playing a man older than his true age in this anyway.
