Well I have just finished watching the series finale of Sherlock series two. And now I am about to become very angry.
Not at the adaptation, it was brilliant, or at Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. Why would I? They are a genius combination.
No, it is just the usual rant at people.
In the run up to this week’s episode people were worried that this would be the end of Sherlock. Would there be a series three?
And then when Sherlock did fall to his death people went to Twitter (sorry to go all Daily Mail sourcing here) to complain that “how dare Sherlock do this?” and “MOFFFFFAAATTTTT”.
The very same people then seemed genuinely shocked that Sherlock wasn’t dead after all.
Goodness me, what a shocker? Not to age myself by several years but for the love of God, read a book. As with all characters there are a few things that everyone should know. So Sherlock has Watson, Baker Street, the hat, Mrs Hudson, Lestrade, Moriarty and dying but then inexplicably coming back to life.
The last laugh of it all was made by Moffat who tweeted straight after the show: “Yes of course there’s going to be a third series – it was commissioned at the same time as the second. Gotcha.”
And also all the people trying to figure out how in the original series of books there is no reason. You just have to go with something every now and again.
