5/10 and I'm being generous. Like an anon said in the other thread, there was no need for this to connect to the mainline series, it should have been a standalone one-off story.
>>64356378
Oh, no.
It's connected to the main series?
I was hoping for a completely standalone one-off special story.
Is the victorian setting used well at least?
Fucking awful.

>>64357403
It's like a Doctor Who Christmas Special.In that it's tedious and skippable.
>>64357403
It is not a stand off episode.
It is connected to season 4 definitely.
Sherlock is dreaming in the airplane (continuation of 3x3). In his mind place, he is back to Victorian age and trying to prove that Moriarty is indeed actually dead. The whole episode is just to prove that a man can not be returned from the death.
>>64357403
It's the start, but it doesn't really matter because literally all you need to know is that Holmes was high on the plane and said Moriarty is totally dead. They'll show that again in the new series because it's a 20 second scene.

Welcome to why Reddit is shit.
t. the Previous thread.
>>64357465
>I wouldn't want to be Moffat, every single person hates you.
He doesn't HAVE to be a cuck, though. He could just write stories he wants to write and be done with it. I know the BBC probably has some involvement in what he writes so he most likely has to inject certain themes they deem agreeable into his shows, but if the man had any integrity as a writer and as a MAN, you think he'd risk losing his job if it means he can just write the stories he wants to write.
But he doesn't. And he won't. Cause he's the showrunner for two very popular British programmes that are internationally liked, so he's never risking anything but the most flabbergasting brown-nosing.
I mean, Holmes literally says something along the lines of "it's a war we deserve to lose" when over 5 fucking people have had their lives taken. If I were working on the show, I wouldn't even know what to say to that.

That's probably the best summary anyone could give. What a fucking waste.
Why didn't they just adapt one of the stories not covered by the Jeremy Brett series? I'd even take something goofy like The War Service of Sherlock Holmes.
>>64357654
Honestly if the token strong independent cunt who was on Coronation Street was taken out of the equation, it'd actually be a nice little show. Certainly better than Sherlock, at this juncture.
Richard E Grant definitely makes it watchable, as well as the actor who was that Captain Dance.

I can only assume it was to prep the bull(s). I swear at this point Watson is just being used as a self-insert for Moffat himself.
>>64357913
She barely has a part in it though, She's just a side piece which can be said for a lot of the characters that aren't Jekyll/Hyde and E Grant
It was really enjoyable while it was all in the Victorian era. When they flash backed to the present day, the show just went to shit straight away and became a complete mess of flashbacks and random dreams.

>>64358093
Women dressing as men is not a new thing in the entertainment industry, or in history itself.
The same is true vice versa.
>>64357754
That's the thing that gets me about it the most. I imagine if you're the type of person that sticks with writing and you have enough passion to stay a writer, then you 'probably' wouldn't want people undermining your work. Let you be the one who decides whether your work will be shit or not.
I know it's a trap a lot of writers end up falling into, particularly if that trap continues to get you money, but it just kinda saddens me to think that once upon he was probably a writer that had aspirations of getting his voice out there instead of pandering SO HARD that it actually backfires and makes feminists hate you even more.
If I had the power to do so I'd just put the man out of his misery and shoot him. He shouldn't be a writer, anymore. And he CERTAINLY shouldn't be a showrunner for anything.
>>64358093
If this was intended to pander to SJWs then it failed miserably.
How many bongs do I have to wait for a torrent of Big Black Cocks' Sherlock?
>>64358156
If you don't understand anything about writing, pacing, or general themes, then you really have no business asking questions as absurd as "what's wrong with eating shit? It's tasty and nutritious...".
I'd say "come back when you learn anything about film", but as you're a woman, that's impossible. Just fuck off to Tumblr instead and tell all your pals how great it was until it got too hard for you to follow. Trying to explain why it was bad to you would be like trying to argue with a brick fucking wall.

It was an average and completely derivative one. Probably the most linear and predictable Sherlock fanwank you could imagine.
>>64358337
Believe me, if I thought you had a single ounce of intelligence, I'd give it a decent shot.
You don't. I know it's hard to hear after being coddled for your entire life, but you have the mental skills of a child. Children eat up shitty cartoons, and trash shows like Who and Sherlock, adults are supposed to develop this thing called taste. It helps you differentiate a toy commercial from art.
>>64358388
also fake and gay
The closing bit of dialogue between Watson and Holmes before he looks out the window actually wasn't that bad. It felt like Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were actually talking.
I'm legitimately curious if a third writer stepped in just to write that bit off, it was very out of place dialogue in that it felt like something two grown men from the 19th century would actually exchange with each other.
>>64358301
Actually I think he's done a decent job with Doctor Who, Heaven Sent was easily one of the shows best episodes if you ignore Hell Bent.

Star Wars was fine, you seem to be falling into the trap of thinking that /tv/ is a single entity.

>>64358440
Why the adversarial attitude? We're just chatting about television here. No need to get upset. I enjoyed it until it flashed forward to the plane and I agree it completely went downhill after that.
>>64358301
Oh I've watched it, unfortunately. Aside from Heaven Sent, Mummy on the Orient Express and maybe one or two others, almost everything with Capaldi has been particularly poor.
I think ever since Clara's inclusion as a companion, Moffat has been getting shitter, but it's like the man isn't even trying anymore. Ironic, as you've got a legitimately well trained actor to portray the Doctor and you just squander him by writing him god-awful dialogue.
honestly i'm going to watch some caroline quentin era jonathan creek to wash that horse shit out of my mind
>I only asked for torrents
>no torrent links on this thread
>only spoilers

>>64358468
Heaven Sent was not directed by him, my bad, I'm surprised it was written by him. Felt like Blink. I hope he lets that woman direct more.
I guess he is the best at standalone. Every time he tries a 2 parter the second part falls flat, except for Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, which was under RTD's direction.
Nothing else in his time as showrunner has approached Heaven Sent, except maybe Eleventh Hour.
>>64358617
If anything, it got BETTER with the plane. It was completely dull, formulaic, Nu-Who trash up until that point, and the switch to the present day at least gave me a couple of laughs from just how hard Moffat fucked this up.
>>64358620
Capaldi is the best at acting like his version of The Doctor, besides McGann who only really counts in audio. He is one of my favorite Doctors that Moffat has ruined.
Isn't Peter Jackson supposed to direct some episodes next season? Or was that youtube thing just a waste of money and time for all involved?
>Imagine a Jackson directed episode with a Gaiman script that isn't restricted by BBC childrens' contests.

>>64358629
>tfw a single season of Johnathan Creek has had more genuine mystery/puzzlement for the audience to work out on their own than Sherlock has in its entirety
The pilot of Sherlock actually had some problem-solving for the cheapseats at home, but there's absolutely no doubt that now Sherlock's just an action-adventure show where you're supposed to enjoy the ride.
I mean, was there ANY way we, as the audience, could have deduced the culprits behind the murders? Maybe in some way cause I did guess a couple things right, but there was no fucking way I would have guessed there was some kind of cult of purple KKK members ritualistically marking the next man for death. There was no mystery behind it, Sherlock just used his smart people magic and suddenly knew what to do and who to blame.

I think that might have just been a joke video.
I'd be up for it, honestly. I'd imagine because he's a big-time director (as well as a guest) the BBC couldn't push him around as much as they do with their regulars so at least he'd probably have more creative control over an episode. Now whether that'd be a good thing is up for debate since it's modern Jackson, but I can't imagine how it'd be any worse than shit like pic related.
>>64358827
The reflection shit was obvious if you know anything about mentalism.
Just like it was obvious that his wife killed him. Nobody went in, the doors and windows were locked aside from the one they broke.
The cult didn't even have anything to do with the story aside from as a soapbox for Moffat to appease feminists. The wife could have easily been a copycat, and the ghost bride could have been helped by whoever watched over the morgue, to both secure a corpse and sneak her back in.
Tumblr right now is kicking up a fuss cause of fat jokes

>Joke video
Ugh, they already made Five(ish) Doctors, isn't that enough?
Jackson has stated numerous times throughout his career that he is a big fan of Doctor Who, so I don't think he wants to upset the fandom.
I also feel like he approached The Hobbit completely different than LOTR. I think a fresh fandom to work with will give him a good boost.
He can do sci-fi if paired with someone decent, or he is put into the role of producer.
>>64359026
i just saw someone on twitter having a go at moffat for "mansplaining feminsim"
>>64358899
He was high and everything happened on the plane in his "mind palace."
I think the only real part was when he landed, then he imagined himself back in the 1800's, then he imagined himself going back to his time and digging up a grave, but he wasn't REALLY there, then he imagined himself going back to the 1800's a third time (even though he had no reason to imagine himself digging up the grave because fuck-all happened).
I wish they could just write an episode. That's all I'd want out of Sherlock.

>>64359224
wondering the same thing.
>>64359026
The fat thing I actually completely forgot about. I was too busy being triggered by how shit the episode was overall.
It didn't even occur to me that people would find that offensive as I watched it, I had already been blind-sighted by everything else. But I suppose I shouldn't be shocked that tumblr's focusing on the most arbitrary parts of a programme.

>>64359290
>>64359290
It's a callback to the end Season 3 where Moriarty returns and says "Miss me?" on TV screens across the country. But at the end of THIS episode, Sherlock confirms that there's no way Moriarty is alive, so the Miss Me message is linked to some bullshit we have yet to discover.
So strap in, because I think the next season is going to go full Nostradamus-tier in how Moriarty is gonna fuck with Sherlock despite being dead. Which is horrible, because without a doubt the worst thing about the show is how Sherlock, Moriarty and the other "smart" characters are able to predict things like some kind of omniscient deities.
They have five fucking characters like this, as well.
