    They do go into more detail in the actual episode. And Cenac absolutely describes it as yelling. Specifically noting how the entire office could hear it.

    True, but they are the ones paying to get on the bus and telling the driver where they want to go. It's definitely a back-and-forth sort of thing.

    yeah but the fans LOVE gay sherlock
    if they were in charge it'd be nothing but tender goofy romantic john-and-sherlock-in-bed-the-morning-after scenes

    Also Moffat has some really well-established flaws as a showrunner that I'm perfectly comfortable placing a lot of Sherlock's less desirable qualities at his feet.

    If Tumblr had it's way the only channel you could watch Sherlock on would be Youporn.

    When they first came out, I thought Sherlock was the better show. The mysteries are smarter, and I like the fact that they aren't solving murders all the dang time but elementary has a much better handle on the characters especially Watson.

    I dunno if I even care that much about the new season of Sherlock. The last season was tripe.

    I liked bits of the last season but the final episode was really stupid
    and completely screwed with Mary's characterization, which up until then had been awesome.

    The start of the third series is basically an extended joke at the expense of the fanbase, especially the slash shippers.

    I'm on the last stretch of Justified episodes. There are so many gambits piling up here you couldn't fit them all in a mine-shaft.

    But it does mean I'm still kept in suspense.

    It's pretty fun, they don't leave you hanging on the twist and never explain everything. It's mostly in the open by the 1/2 or 2/3 point. Of course, I'm expecting another twist in the last episode, since it seems too simple now.

    Just finished the final episode of Justified
    I'm still shook up and emotional, but man what a finale.

    And even though the final scene is Raylan lying to Boyd for Eva's (and her son's) protection, I still whispered 'because we dug coal together' before Boyd said it.

    Man, I dunno if Sherlock is for me

    The biggest factor here is Cumberbatch is so thoroughly unlikable in the role

    I'm going to be super disappointed if there is not a twist in the last episode.

    I sat through two seasons and Sherlock and I kept waiting for the show to acknowledge he was an unlikable dick with no redeeming qualities other than being the best at solving mysteries.

    But the supporting cast pretty much just rolls their eyes and goes "Oh, Sherlock!" a bunch and I've not watched anything since

    House was a good Sherlock Holmes (during the show's good years anyway) because everyone kind of hated him but had to tolerate him because he got results, dammit.

    I'm not really familiar with the Sherlock Holmes "mythos"

    I haven't read any of the books or seen any adaptations before this one

    But my ideal version of Sherlock Holmes is probably Dale Cooper, because he has a real love for humanity rather than a disconnect from it

    well he's part of that mystery-solving dude archetype but there's nothing particularly Holmes-ian about him except he's a bit quirky.

    Without A Clue might be my favourite Holmes adaptation.
