Doesn't make the show any more attractive to me than it was before, however.
Enjoy your show--and do read Emily Nussbaum's review. (Hint [Spoiler?]: I took it to be favorable.)
I'll remember that the next time I come across something that I think might interest those of you who are fans of the show. ... >:(

Jeff - we were appreciative of that.
Then you seemed to get all snarky about my post. I was being an enthusiastic fan and you reacted rather poorly. Since we didn't see any smilies or whatnot indicating you were just joking around, we took your comments quite seriously.

Still digesting Episode 2 of the 3rd season.
There was a LOT crammed into this episode.
I am not sure if I like being so pleased with all the fan satisfaction stuff and think it's a normal progression or whether to not be too happy about it because it IS out of character. Happily my PBS station repeats each episode twice, on Thursday and Saturday nights, so I will be watching the episode again before posting my review.

This Sherlock - as best man for John at his wedding - participates quite a bit in the wedding with his best man duties and helping the bride pick out seating arrangements and napkin folding styles, along with music for the first dance.
In contrast, canon Sherlock never even showed for the wedding.
Front-Ranger:
I think I saw about half of episode 2, I came in during the drunk scene. Like you, I will need to watch it at least once again before I can even comment!

Trying to avoid spoilers here...
In the second episode, it's interesting to see how Sherlock's thought bubbles varied when he was drunk from when he was sober. He was supposed to make observations at the crime scene and there was a shot of the scene with all his drunk observations superimposed over the various pieces of furniture, etc. One that I noticed was "Silly Thing" and then I noticed that the word "Thing" was on almost all of the items. And just before, when Sherlock and Watson were called to work by a client, Sherlock slurred, "The game is . . .something" and Watson replied, after reflection, "er. . . on?" It was pretty funny. I never did quite get why they were getting drunk...did Sherlock think they had to do a bachelor party??

Yes. That was the bachelor party.
Avoid the following if you still haven't seen the entire episode...
They went pub crawling and Sherlock had some plan to drink a certain amount per pub versus his calculations on how much they would excrete in a certain amount of time. He was timing them. But things started to go awry from his careful calculations and two hours later, they were back home completely wasted, asleep on the stairs. Then a client came to see them. And rather than turn her away, they tried to investigate while still pissed. It was hilarious.
