It will be interesting to see what Chiball does with Who - an Ellie-like companion (or first female Doctor) would be interesting. <br /><br />And will definitely let you know once I've listened! jadelotusflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452933933818548606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163433168019315772.post-3379573236859496652017-07-14T01:51:38.773-07:002017-07-14T01:51:38.773-07:00Re: Sherlock/Doctor Who.

I think a LOT of what's wrong with Moffatt is that he's great at making promises but pretty much ALWAYS trips on the finish line.<br /><br /><i>Going to spend some time this weekend absorbing the Anastacia broadway soundtrack - my childhood!</i><br /><br />Check in with me afterwards! I've totally fallen down an Anastasia-shaped black hole so I'm after people to discuss it with. I've plans to rewatch the movie this weekend and do a whole new blog-post on it. As a tween I loved it, but I think it'll hold up really well watching it as an adult.

I liked the show to begin with but the nonsense of the first season 3 episode put me off the whole thing - and along with Doctor Who has led to my serious dislike for mystery boxes/puzzle arcs. Had no idea about the season 4 conspiracy theories, obviously they didn't learn from the lack of payoff from the two year "how did Sherlock survive" mystery and got burned again. But these days I tend to look more charitably towards the fans who search desperately for meaning in something no matter how outlandish than to the creators who first foster speculation and then mock them for it. <br /><br />Going to spend some time this weekend absorbing the Anastacia broadway soundtrack - my childhood! jadelotusflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452933933818548606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163433168019315772.post-15517138826556005182017-07-13T00:52:11.687-07:002017-07-13T00:52:11.687-07:00Just checked it out!

Looking back, some of the problems were <i>always</i> there: namely a desire to be clever that overshadowed plot (that stupid SHERlocked password which made no sense whatsoever) and a strange lack of interest in Arthur Conan Doyle's original texts - which is bizarre considering this was ostensibly pitched as "modern day Sherlock." The further Moffatt/Gatkiss got from their original premise, the shakier the show became.
