Like all other fans, I've been mulling over the words for ages. Now that the names of the first two episodes of Season 3 are out ("The Empty Hearse" and "The Sign of Three"), I'm dying to know the third.
"Bow" is a bit ominous. And so this this image I chanced across.
Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman look great...but it's so sombre that it makes my imagination run wild. They look so serious...and sad...and...bereaved. Is Sherlock telling John that he is retiring/going away forever? *shudder* I hope not.
But then again, I have no idea which episode this image will correspond to - and thus, hope springs eternal. Maybe it is simply Sherlock explaining his time away to John...or why he jumped.
In other news, I am planning to watch Star Trek: Into Darkness for the fourth time today. I'm just a very minor Trekkie, really, never went all the way to learn Klingon and stuff and didn't like Star Trek: The Next Generation with Captain Picard...but The Wrath of Khan was my favourite earlier, and now, Into Darkness is just so, so brilliant and it overtakes all others by leaps and bounds. Even with the ordinary lines given to Khan, Benedict Cumberbatch simply steals the show. For the first time, I paid more attention to someone other than Spock (not that this reflects badly on Zachary Quinto; he was as great as ever).
A couple of great articles on Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek that I read recently - here and here. There's a superb interview here.
Seriously, the man needs to be knighted right away - he seems so perfectly charming and courteous!
An update: turns out this was shooting for "The Sign of Three" ("Wedding") - so we're safe. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Sherlock continues as long as I live, at least. And if ghosts can watch TV, I wish it would go on for all eternity.
