Hey ho, let's go

[Candy Apple]

Well, if i get it right, i have to start a new post here introducing myself

I'm kind of Anderson on international forums, so I want to apologize in advance for possible terrible English and other nonsense.

My name is Svetlana, and I'm from Russia. from the eastern part of it. I'm 18.

I'm the one who waited for 2nd season for one year and is waiting for 3d season now. I've been a fan of Sherlock since I was ... ugh... 10 or 11. My mom gave me collection of short stories of Sherlock Holmes and said that i should like it. After 7 years I made my mom watch Sherlock BBC and said just the same thing. And we both were right

There are only 3 thing that i'm fangirling over: Green Day, Sherlock and Destiel. Well, i have a lot of other addiction, but these three are my fav.

 

I don't even know how to end this... I just hope that i didn't make an impression idiot

Hello Svetlana, to Sherlock Forum. Don't worry about your English, from your post it seems fine to me!

 

 

I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hi there, Svetlana. So good to have this a truly international forum. This is really a nice place to come and interact especially in sharing our shared obsession over BBC Sherlock.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Hi, Svetlana, and welcome to Sherlock Forum!

 

Well, you didn't actually have to introduce yourself, but we're glad that you did. Now we can all wait for Series 3 together!

[itslikelectiveamnesia]

welcome!

p.s. im tired of waiting....

[Candy Apple]

i definitely love this place

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Well, the wait is pretty much over. They must be running through the scripts together and rehearsing if the actual filming starts in just over a week.

 

And no way can you be an Anderson Candy Apple if you care enough about Sherlock to seek fellow Sherlockians out. No way would Anderson do that. He would go out of his way to create an anti-Sherlock forum.

[itslikelectiveamnesia]

ya theyre filming but its still gonna be a while before the showing

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

It's still slated for this Autumn always a good thing.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Autumn in the UK, at least. Who knows when it will be shown in the US or in Russia? But that's what region-free DVD players are for!

[Shangas]

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to Holmes we go,

At a smartish pace for a puz'ling case,

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho...

 

Ahem...Sorry, the thread title just reminded me of the song.

 

Welcome to the forum

[Carol the Dabbler]

Think we could get Thorin Oakenshield and Company to sing that?

[Candy Apple]

well, russian channel The First shows Sherlock on the next day after premiere

 

 

Welcome to the forum

 

thanks

million dollar idea

[Shangas]

Hahahaha. They weren't going off to the mines. They were going to find a dragon!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

You might get the silly Wood Elves of Rivendell to sing that one. But no, I can't see Thorin and Company singing it. To stuff shirted......well....I take that back. They did sing about bashing plates and that's what Bilbo Baggins hates.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Well, maybe you could find at least seven dwarves out of the thirteen who would be willing to sing it! (As for the elves, you're thinking of the book, where Hubby and I refer to them as Elrond and the Keebler Elves. The movie elves are much too dignified!)

 

 

well, russian channel The First shows Sherlock on the next day after premiere

Zow! Wonder if they'd be willing to give PBS some lessons in expediency?!

[Candy Apple]

anyway some of my friends watched live stream on the internet in the day of premiere, and next day on TV with Russian translation. that's funny 'cause they didn't get anything at first watching

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Hopefully the PBS won't hold off to long, nor cut it up to much. We Americans want the whole nine yards, not patchwork.

[itslikelectiveamnesia]

agreed ^

[Carol the Dabbler]

Masterpiece will assuredly insist on the usual cuts. They have always (i.e., for decades) had their own opening titles and theme music, a host introducing the actual program, and some appreciative mentions of their "corporate supporters" -- but it never dawned on me that they weren't showing all of the original program (till I saw series 2 of Sherlock). Presumably years ago, the cuts were fairly minimal, but those appreciative mentions (which started as just a sentence or two spoken over a placard) have grown over the years till they are indistinguishable from commercials -- so the cuts now total something like 8 minutes.

 

And if we want to see the entire show, PBS will of course be more than happy to sell us the DVD!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

I don't mind the music and intros. That goes with any program one wants to name. It's the running on, as you said...it has become more like a commercial and not very useful. But pollsters are finding that people are tuning these parts out. So maybe, someday, they will get the message and stop it. And I will more then happy to buy the DVD in any case.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Right, I don't mind programs having their own music and intros. Sherlock has its own music and intro, and that's fine, in fact I like them. But then Masterpiece adds their music and intro on top of that, meaning that they "have to" cut out part of the actual Sherlock episode. But as you say, the "non-commercials" are much longer and therefore even worse.

 

But by the time PBS runs series 3, I'll have already bought the BBC DVD. So there!
