Alright so I had the idea to do some live blogging of some TV series and maybe movie series give you my thoughts on them as I view them for the first time or the 100th. Well I decided to start with a show I have never watched but seems to be popular the BBC series Sherlock.
So the game begins episode one and we start with a solider, injured, coming home and he is lonely. Well this is Watson, and hey he is struggling to write a blog as well. Man what a first choice to live blog, I'll give you some ideas Dr. Watson.
Well that guy obviously didn't commit suicide with that pill otherwise it wouldn't be an episode. Now got some kids in the rain, and here comes more pills. A third lady committing suicide, well this could be interesting. Press conference and connected suicides obviously, they have't heard of Mona. Well these wrong text are clearly the work of one Sherlock Holmes.
Got John back and seems like he needs a roommate. We all know where this is going.
Yep, there's Sherlock; and what a poor girl. Poor Molly brings coffee in and the lipstick is gone and Sherlock liked it, poor girl really can't catch a break. So that guess that Holmes made about everything to do with Watson, pretty impressive but come on we know he is going.
Another suicide yep, time to bring Sherlock into this to catch the killer.
Sentence to death in Florida man and he ensured it, okay I can get behind this dry humor. Now we get the explanation of how he did the Watson ID, but we are interrupted by the police needing help. Out goes Sherlock, back comes Sherlock, team is getting together in the first episode but what about Mrs. Hudson and the tea. Don't Brits stop everything for Tea.
Some solid exposition on who Sherlock Holmes is and the fun part about how he broke Watson down. This is actually my favorite parts of the RDJ Sherlock movies and the Ocean movies when they break down the logic and how things are going to be done.
Checking my phone for marks and I am in the clear.
Oh it's a sister so close Sherlock.
Anderson and Sargent Donovan, note to self do not make enemies with Mr. Holmes if you are going to cheat on your wife. And another cheater, man Sherlock is going to expose everyone at this right. Also I like the little words on the screen. Rain, in England color me surprised but how could he know the weather of the whole country off the top of his head like that. The missing suitcase is what gives to be a killer.
Yep, could have told you it was a killer otherwise there be no TV episode and that would defeat the point, right. So off to find the suitcase I guess and poor Watson has been left behind. Agent Donavon staying to stay away from Holmes because he is going to kill someone. So they are going to have an episode where he is being framed, that will be fun.
Never pick up the pay phone! Let it ring, John. Don't get in the car, oh wait it is the first episode, John can die. Plus it is Sherlock that has to get frozen alive so he can take part in an animated series in the future.
Okay this is interesting, the guy wants to spy on Sherlock, hmm just take the money you barely know him. Oh, he has the shrinks notes about him. This guy is pretty interesting. Dr. Watson misses the war, guess following Sherlock around is a good replacement. Stopping to get a gun, the guy who controls camera's is not getting shot.
Taking about getting shot, Watson gets shot down worse than Molly did earlier.
Sherlock, says split the money to spy on him. Hmm, maybe that is how he does the free consulting. And there is the case. No phone, well no one leaves there phone at home anymore Sherlock, this is kinda outdated. Calling the killer, and trying to draw them up. Truer words never said need. Got to get that book Deal.
It's a taxi driver! You hope in strangers cars all the time and trust them not to kill you come on this is too easy. I could be Sherlock Holmes, though the other stuff to get this point I didn't figure out so maybe it will take time.
Arch Enemies I have one, it is the 3rd hole blue at Ramble wood golf course. That par 5 has taken more of my golf balls than I can count. True nemesis.
It's the taxi! Come on Sherlock. Off he goes. Maybe the episode has been sublimely telling us that. The Kid was waiting for a cab, the lady was to drunk to drive and did not have her keys. Oh tricky show, giving us the answers from the start. Wait, Sherlock it is the driver, I guess Sherlock didn't solve it yet. Well, maybe it is someone else and the taxi just slowed down.
It's a miracle, Watson doesn't need his cane anymore. Holmes, is definitely a junkie. Eyes in the mircowave, wonder if they catch fire like grapes when the microwave is turned on.
Sociopath, yep that makes sense. Oh, what an insult to Watson. And it was the taxi driver, why can they not see this. Taxi randomly shows up. They can track the phone, yep it is old, saying it is not a smart phone, wait did they not know that phones have GPS. Yep it is the taxi driver. Oh, Sherlock is figuring it out now. I was right and he is going to go with him boy oh boy. This is getting interesting, lying to Watson about finding the guy.
Man the cabbie is confident, but I want to know what he said too. What could he say, this is sounding awfully birdboxie. The cabbie is fan of Sherlock, he even checked out the website, man what does one have to do for some views. If I add some pictures maybe things will work out.
A great man and maybe a good one, wow deep words from the detective. It's like the nice and kind commercial like the kind bar commercials. Now why did the find phone page work so fast before but now it taking forever, shouldn't it have been on and just moving, guess the internet has improved since then. Wait no car GPS were a thing.
Silly Cabbie, Sherlock isn't dying he is the main character and this is the first episode, he has to make it or the show wouldn't be on for long and there is 4 seasons. Oh, the cabbie is jealous of Sherlock and thinks he is just as smart. Oh this is an interesting game of chance. Yeah, I don't see how it is game of chess or strategy.
Oh Moriarty is behind this guy interesting. Fake gun, I think Mr. Holmes just won the game. Maybe not this guy is going to get Holmes to play. Big ego Holmes going to get himself in trouble. Watson to the rescue, what a shot. Not the first time he has killed a man. War Hero. He called him and idiot too, fun. Oh the guy in the abondoned place was his brother, this is going to be fun. Definitely should have taken the money and poor guy has no chance with that women.
Well that was a good start, seems like a promising series let's see where episode two takes us.
Tea, yep this is a british show, guess the only place tea is more important might be china. Another person getting turned down, no love in this show at all. Hmm, this is a bit creepy, I hope it is not a body because turning that drink down would have been a big mistake.
Yeah the self service lanes are a pain. We all know how you feel Watson but why is Holmes fighting a guy. Well no answers yet, what ever to the bank because Watson needs money? Those bills aren't going to pay themselves. Nope, he is going to see the guy who sent the email.
Just talking to the secretary, oh that is good. 5 figures to solve the break-in man, this is a good gig. Door didn't open so Air Vent or Window are the only choices and that climb upward does not look fun. Oh, it wasn't the secretary it was the watch, not as funny.
What Dan Brown book was that on the book shelf, not important the guy is dead. Come on we already know it is not a suicide didn't we do this in the last episode. Oh an new inspector, guess he doesn't know who Sherlock is.
Why does no one realize it was a murder, is this going to be a theme in this show. I will not like if it is because it is going to get old fast. Another dead guy and the perfect time for a commercial break.
The girl is gone, interesting bet she had a yellow line threat as well. Or she is the killer and was told to get to work.
Oh, it is the window, well sky light. Man this guy is a pretty good climber to make it up the side of the bank.
Oh a code this is interesting. The expert is the guy who spray paints on walls. Guess the guy only can tell the paint because it does not seem he knows anything and Watson gets stuck holding on to the paint. Opps .
So the missing muesum girl has family problems, hmm to early for the show to show the killer so it has to do with her family other than that I have got nothing. Guess those years of watching NCIS and CSI are paying off, right.
To the Chinese shop and the lucky cat pushing lady. Numbers in Chinese oh, what joy, there smugglers come on Watson, this one is not a Sherlock level intellect needed. Wait, if they stole something and you want it back why would you kill them? Hard to get it back that way.
Ut-oh Sherlock is in trouble and this guy is better than the rando with sword to start. Seriously, who was that person and why was he fighting him to start the episode. Guess the earlier win gave him confidence he could fight this guy without Watson. A black flower, yep I am lost on what that means.
Andy is back and no one else noticed the yellow spray paint on the statue. Well that is a bad break with the wall, but John is pretty smart and took a picture much better than the 62% memory of the human mind when it comes to visuals.
Never left the place, guess those tea pots must be very important. Ohh, the flower is the chinese mob symbol and she used to be a smuggler, now it is starting to make sense. The murder is her brother, not good. Not cool bro. Based on a book, oh what fun. Sherlock he is just trying you to get you away from the girl, don't run too far. Bye bye, Shoo lin, Andy is going to be so upset.
Oh here is the new Sergent, let's see if he listens now. And Sherlock is going to take advantage of Molly, shame on him. But it does get the job done and proves that the lotus gang are in town.
That's a lot of books and Watson is falling asleep in office. Don't you hate coworkers that fall asleep on the job. Watson scoring a date out of it though, guess love is not dead in this show. Well, Sherlock crashing the circus with the killers. And we found the killer. Sarah getting into the mix. Good get Watson.
So Watson gets captured this time and they think he is Sherlock. Well the guy just has bad luck. The set up to have him have the documents establishing his identity, good work show writers. Now Sherlock is going to show up save the day and find the 9 million dollar jade pin. Well, Sarah isn't going to want to stick around now. Bummer, she might be pretty smart just like the inspector. Smart man.
Well guess M is going to be the over arching villain like it should be. Killing off those that fail him like a true villan does
Well after two episodes off to a solid start. Dry sense of humor and Dr. Strange does an excellent Sherlock impression, or is it Sherlock that does a Dr. Strange impression. Hmm either way it is a fun show. Time for episode 3
So i wrote this for the rest but with my computer kicking the bucket apparently I didn't save it. Which is sad cause my Jim takes were hilarious. I also shipped Sherlock and Molly. Oh well, guess it's true the best stuff is always lost to time.
