Well strictly speaking, we do have this lovely "Other Versions" subforum: https://www.sherlockforum.com/forum/forum/35-other-versions/ so it's not BBC only. And we've always happily welcomed any Sherlock fan, whether they prefer BBC (Johnlock or PlatonicFriends flavour), Granada, or those who think Gene Wilder was killing it as Sigerson, for that matter. It's all good.

Indeed, sorry for the confusion. I don't want to spoiler anything here, so it's a bit hard to talk about the ending, but while I obviously hope for a S5 (and signs are looking good *fingerscrossed*), the way they finished S4 works as a finale, at least for me. A sad one but it makes a sad poetic sort of sense.

Saw the last episode of S4 today. This is how you do a "bittersweet" ending, if you feel you have to. *sniffle* One that leaves your viewers full of feels and not rage.

The scene in ep5 where Chloe talks to Amenadiel has to be the most adorable one ever.

Well he did give away some details, but those have been hinted at since book 1, like Jon's parentage - I think I read that he asked the showrunners about it to see if they were attentive readers. And I think he also stated that they didn't follow his advice at times, like killing of one of the Dothraki (Jhaquo?) that he had told them he'd still be using in a major role in one of the books later. That being said, if (!) any more books are ever published, I can't see GRRM being as disrespectful to the female characters as the show. He might be a tone-deaf male at times and it shows in his writing, but he's always tried his best.

I'm only two episodes in, but loving it so far. The new format and quality is amazing, as are the performances. Takes a lot of self control to pace myself and not binge the rest. eta: Three episodes now. Impossible as it may seem, I love Maze even more now.

Put in spoiler tags just in case:

Yeah, there are many ways they can [censor] this up (and they demonstrated some of them in S3, sigh). But given how they handled the Deckerstar episode, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I have no idea about the situation in Belgium, though, but here in Austria at least it's not that easy to change your name. For starters, you have to state a legitimate reason for wishing to have it changed, though "difficult to pronounce or spell" is one of those accepted reasons. And it also costs like a couple hundred euros (I happen to know that stuff because a friend's son successfully changed his given name last year, and it was indeed a hassle). And yeah, people can butcher even the simplest names. Our last name has five friggin' letters and people misspell all the time.

Not much of a spoiler without context, but I'll put it in a box just in case:

Speaking of British politicians, let's try if I can get twitter to embed again here: Well that was underwhelming. Pic:

It's been postponed, again. Whether or not that is good news, dunno. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-whatnext-factbox/factbox-brexit-delayed-what-happens-next-idUSKCN1S01B7

Lucifer (which got dropped by Fox after S3 but picked up by Netflix) starts S4 in a week and half. Here's a brief recap of S1-3 (spoilers, obviously):
