The BBC has released the first full trailer for Sherlock Season 3, which will debut January 1, 2014, on the network. With Smaug looming, this looks to be Freeman/Cumberbatch week, which is just fine with me as it allows me to type Benedict Cumberbatch, the world’s most English name, ad nauseum.

On my early 2014 anticipation of entertainment events I have Interstellar, Hobbit 3, X-Men Days of Future Past, Next Gen Consoles Finally Having Games for Next Gen Consoles, and the return of Sherlock.
If you haven’t seen the BBC’s take on a modern-day Sherlock Holmes that somehow manages to be as faithful a take on Conan Doyle’s creation that has ever been, ….WHY? It’s on Netflix! It has Bilbo and Darth Khan Smaug (please oh please let the Darth part be true)! It’s not so much a series as a mini-series of three 90 minute movies, so be prepared for that. Series 2 ended…with a cliff hanger of such proportions a lot of people thought they might be done. THEY ARE NOT! Today from the BBC comes this press release on what season 3 holds (do not read it if you haven’t seen series 2). Sherlock will be back in early 2014!
With anticipation building around the return of Sherlock, BBC One has today released the first official picture of the new series.
The question on everyone’s lips will finally be answered when Sherlock returns with three brand-new action-packed adventures. How did he do it? And how will John take the news that his best friend faked his own death? What will Sherlock think when he finds out John has fallen in love with Mary Morstan? She’s sensible, quick-witted and not at all taken in by Sherlock’s posturing. Once again, the game is on for Sherlock and John in the first episode of the new series, The Empty Hearse written by Mark Gatiss.
Speaking about the return of the series, executive producer, writer and co-creator Steven Moffat said: “It’s been a long time since Sherlock Holmes jumped off that roof – it’s time to reveal the truth about what happened between him and the pavement.”
Executive producer, writer and co-creator Mark Gatiss added: “Sherlock and John Watson are back at last! And they’re just where we want them – on the streets of London having mad, thrilling adventures.”
Sherlock is written and created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, and inspired by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock is produced by Sue Vertue and the executive producers are Beryl Vertue, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat for Hartswood Films, Bethan Jones for the BBC and Rebecca Eaton for Masterpiece.
The drama was commissioned by Danny Cohen, former Controller of BBC One (now Director of BBC Television) and Ben Stephenson Controller, Drama Commissioning, BBC.

Sherlock Holmes can tell a software designer by his tie and an airline pilot by his thumb. He has a unique analytical brain and, unlike anyone else in the world, he staves off boredom by solving crimes. When a chance encounter brings soldier John Watson into Sherlock’s life, it’s apparent the two men couldn’t be more different, but Sherlock’s intellect coupled with John’s pragmatism soon forge an unbreakable alliance.
In season three, Sherlock returns but will things ever be the same again?
The best show on TV will return! Martin Freeman! Benedict Cumberbatch! Watson! Holmes! The year of Cumberbatchian domination continues as we get our first look at series 3 of the show. Given how series 2 ended (WATCH IT NOW!!!), a tight lid is being kept on the plot, but the villain has been revealed to be Charles Augustus Magnussen. I hope they keep making this show forever. I’d love to see the two of them in their sixties still sniping at one another. As a lifelong fan of Conan Doyle‘s stories and characters, this is unquestionably the best adaptation of his work there has ever been. I like this show, is what I’m trying to subtly impart, people.
Best show on tv.
I got a lot of feedback on the artwork by Alice Zhang that I posted this weekend; asking for more. She has an excellent website (www.alicexz.com) and I urge you to go and check out all of her work but here are a few more of my favorites of hers.
