Oh, that title. That title. Tomorrow, let us all rejoice in yet another ninety minutes of Sherlock. How many thousands of GIFs will it spawn? Will our brains break again? HOW IS STEVEN MOFFAT GOING TO UPDATE THIS WONDERFUL STORY? Also how cute is Martin Freeman’s face? I’ve won no BAFTA awards and I don’t care. Let’s liveblog Sherlock, shall we?
I can’t wait. I CANNOT WAIT.
Now, this liveblog is going to be different for everyone, since it’s not airing officially in the United States. Like all liveblogs with relative airings, this liveblog starts when you have access to “The Hounds of Baskerville.â€Â Use the comments below as your glorious canvas. In order to avoid spoilers, please try to avoid going back and commenting on comments made on the front page so those of us who are liveblogging can stick to the front page to leave them.
The review for this will NOT take the place of a Buffy review. You’ll still get five of those. This will just be an extra one! I’ll have it up Monday or Tuesday, and I’ll tweet from @MarkDoesStuff when it’s up. Thanks!
Hahahahaha "get me some" 'Oh Sherlock, I thought you'd never ask ;)'
"It's this, or Cluedo"
"Ah- nooooo" LMFAO, I LOVE the way John said that XD
Wish he'd made Sherlock apologise to Mrs Hudson though 🙁
Ewww, Sherlock's creepy second-hand smoking xD
Hahaha, Yorick the Skull had the cigarettes all along xD
Oh, poor Mrs. Hudson… as ever the women in 'Sherlock' can't catch a break 🙁 Sounds like she was giving him a good rollicking though xD
XD Sherlock loves to stand in high places and look badass. That shot is reminiscent of one from the original 60-minute pilot episode…
Man, has this guy really been in therapy for 20 years? Or just now started…
Also, what is he psychic now? o_O
Haha, good one Sherlock. Love how quickly John just picks up on this stuff and goes along X3
Wait, what was the significance of the piece of rock…?
OH SHIT IT'S A MASSIVE PAWPRINT CAST
Hahahaha John comes into his own with the military career!! Watson > All
LOL, MYCROFT!
He's fast becoming one of my favourite characters as of last episode xD There, I said it.
Duuuuude, that scientist is win 😀
CHEEKBONES! ROFL
NO JOHN, DON'T GO OFF ON YOUR OWN, WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOOING
I just want them to make out. Like all the time. NGL.
Is this thing seriously running around for ANYONE who goes into the Hollow at night to come across?! Why aren't there more stories like Henry's of people getting ripped to shreds?
John stop talking @___@ Sherlock's in distress!
Oooooooh THA'SGOTTAHURT
But seriously, what's wrong with Sherlock? @_@
asdgdjklfd JOHN WHY ARE YOU WALKING ON THE MOOR ALONE AT NIGHT DON'T BE SO SILLY
AAAAAAAAAAH THE HELL?!?
This is why I never want to live alone.
I AM GOING TO LIVEBLOG THIS IN LIKE 20 MINUTES IF YOU ARE AROUND.
OMG I AM AROUND! That never happens.
Except that it's 2am and I really shouldn't be… but SHERLOCK!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE FLOODLIGHTS @__@
i r scared
I bet it's just a fox being cunning and annoying.
Aaaaaaaah shit cover blown. So much for that scientist being a cool dude >:
John should've just come clean… I mean the thing about "having a friend with the same problem" was true at least…
This whooshy scene-change thing is a little odd. I wonder who comes up with this stuff. Each episode seems to have different quirks…
Awwwwwwww don't leave him John! He's being so cute ^.^
Awwwww Inspector Lestrade! Yay!
"That's his name" OMG ROFL XDD
Haha Sherlock's Ominous Stirring XD
XD Awww, Sherlock anxiously watching John as he drinks the coffee… So cute! <3
Can anyone point me towards any links to stream or download? It's been a few hours since it's aired in the UK and I'm coming up with nothing. =(
D'awwww, happy Lestrade XD
I hate it when they use the word "destroyed" in conjunction with an animal >.< It's so unnecessary…
Ah cripes, he's actually going insane… @_@
I AM STARTING OMG
WTF
Whaaaaat is this weird effect that the Hound has on people?!? @_____@ It seems like more than just fear…
OMG IT'S THAT GUY FROM THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
Holy shit.
I know right! My same reaction! Allons-y Alonso!
XD Woo, a glow-in-the-dark rabbit! I want one!
Sherlock is being adorable.
ANGRY SHERLOCK. OMG.
AHHHHHHH BASKERVILLE
"Yeah, well he would, wouldn't he?" XD Yeah, trust Sherlock to have a memory-palace…
(I want one of those >.<)
XD Sherlock looks like he's conducting an orchestra…
Hahahaha Elvis Presley WTF?!
Holy crap!! He shot at the therapist!!!
YOU'RE JUST SHOWING OFF
HAHAHAHA Sherlock what are you doing???
The scientist woman seems pretty cool after all. Too bad about her daughter's bunny…
IS THAT THE TARDIS ON THE HILL IN THE HOLLOW??????
http://heckyadoctorwho.tumblr.com/post/1558994900…
Yes. Moffat is a troll.
Yep! BBCamerica confirms it:
http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2012/01/wat…
Oh man! I knew it!!
THAT DUDE IS NOT COOL AFTER ALL DX
Ahahaha he is so excited!
So ~majestic~ on that rock.
Majestic? "Meerkat" was the impression I got…
HAHAHAHA I love that the whole world thinks they are a couple.
The whole world thinks it because it's true. We know the truth. 😀
OMG IS YOURS A SNORER
Best episode ever.
God DAMN
Ohhhhhhhhhhhmagaaaaaaaaaawd what a horrible way to go @___@
I am so excited right now.
John!!!!!!!! I love you.
SHERLOCK YOU ARE SUCH AN A-HOLE
YOU REALLY ARE
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO WATSON!!!!
THIS IS SO THRILLING
WELL THAT'S NOT OMINOUS
How did Moriarty get locked up in the first place? In connection to Irene Adler I suppose…
WHAT THE FUCK
HAHAHAHA Mycroft
WHAT IS HAPPENING
I don't do that.
Yeah, you do.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Ahhhhh I'm scared!!!!!!
That was me for SO MUCH of this episode. >.<
SHIT
I AM SO SCARED
UM SHERLOCK LOOKED FRIGHTENED. I DON'T LIKE THAT
FRIGHTENED SHERLOCK IS NEVER GOOD
Sherlock being frightened is like the Doctor being frightened– no good ever comes of it.
Benedict, you are such a fantastic actor. Just amazing.
Omg this might be my favorite episode yet.
So hey, I totes saw Benedict on Sky News this evening about the upcoming 'War Horse' film. It was the first time I'd seen him on TV as himself and not as Sherlock. xD Was weird.
WTF IS THAT. WHY ARE THE LIGHTS ON
Omg "I've just got one."
OMG LESTRADE
The coffee. I can't deal.
I AM SO NERVOUS.
FUCK.
WHAT THE FUCK??????
MIND PALACE
MIND BROKEN
Omg British television has absolutely ruined gas masks.
are you my mummy
(sorry, just had to)
WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. HOW. HOW. HOW.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
What part are you at?
The final scene in the Hollow. Just….holy shit. So good.
Possibly the best hour of television I have ever watched. Honestly.
Just amazing. I swear.
Just finished watching. Long-time reader, first time commenter. BAHAHAHAHAH STUNT CASTING FOR RUSSELL TOVEY!
More to come.
Okay, lemme just organize m'thoughts…
1. Again, love Russell Tovey. Man can't do wrong.
2. Am I the only one who felt this to be the least Sherlock-y feeling Sherlock episode yet? It's not bad, it's just… new.
3. … wowsers. Sherlock jonesing for a case. No more of that, it's freaky.
4. WOWSERS. SHERLOCK SCARED BEYOND BELIEF. NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE.
5. And the freaked out Sherlock Scan. That was kinda freaky cool.
6. Can I have a glowing bunny? Because yay.
7. Why does Russell have FLOOD lights? Like, a single incandescent, I can see, but two GIANT flood lights? Just… odd.
8. Also, do British people have better access to firearms now? I thought that was all against the law and whatnot…
9. Does anyone else hear "mind palace" and think Yu-Gi-Oh!?
10. HAHAHAHAHAH EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MINDPALACE SCENE
11. I was shouting "It's a hallucinogen" for half the ep. HALF THE EP.
12. WAIT WHAT ACTUAL DOG THEY HAVE A CG BUDGET WHAT IS GOING ON
13. Oh. OH, THE FOG. Nicely done. Didn't see that.
14. And I love explosions. Thank you. Way to spend the money you probably had saved up from EVERYTHING, folks.
All in all? Again, very non-Sherlocky (but then again, this is the fifth ep in the entire damn run) but still quite enjoyable and Scared!Sherlock FOREVER. Well done!
In terms of the firearms thing, no we don't. But in the countryside it has always been somewhat easier to get hold of firearms. Also people are more likely to get a license for things like shooting. Several of my friends who live in Dorset have firearms – as long as you have a license and keep them locked up when not in use it's not the hardest thing in the world to get.
What. What. What. What is happening.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.
SERIOUSLY EVERYONE I LOVED THAT EPISODE SO DEARLY.
WHY IS HIS NAME BEING GREG SO EXCITING?
Because in the original Doyle stories, his initial was G, but a first name was never given.
Found a working site!!!
Well, this isn't starting out creepy at all!
Sherlock stop being rude to Ms Hudson!!!
OMG WHAT IS THIS???? o.o
LOVED IT.
So was UMQRA just a red herring? Random headlights after all? I kept thinking it meant "Um, curare?"
I hope so. WHAT IF IT WAS A CLUE
I think it was a hilarious red herring. 😀
Also, makes an interesting factoid – sex movements in a car spell "UMQRA" in Morse code with the headlights. x-D
Someone ask Mark Gatiss if he did personal research on this matter.
Yes, it was just the headlights. But if I followed what happened correctly, it did still help, because it got Sherlock thinking "Maybe UMQRA is initials of something… hey, maybe HOUND is initials of something…"
I am so confused and terrified!
SUGAR?!?!
WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!?!
WWWWHHHAATTTT???????!!!!!
LIST TIME
