Season 3 of Sherlock came out recently, and I was vastly excited. The series is still very excellent, but I am having trouble getting used to the non-chronological order of the episodes. I don't think I like how the scene jumps around and I don't have much of a clue. I know it's meant to all fall together in the end- like the jumbled pieces of a jigsaw puzzle; except I don't think I'm smart enough to piece together the puzzle until Sherlock's explanation. Maybe it's because I'm dumb, but I'd like to attribute it to the fact that I'm watching TV and can't really think.
I can't tell if the solution to Sherlock's fake death was anti-climatic or not. I feel like the director toyed with me so much my expectations had all diminished. I thought the whole "Mycroft is a genius, therefore everything makes sense" ploy was kind of cheap... Nevertheless I enjoyed the show. I felt kind of sad that Watson had gotten married and all that- because I figured it'd never be like the "good ol' days" of Seasons 1 and 2. I mean, not that I didn't know it was going to happen, since the TV show is based off the original works anyway- but I think I was hoping that Holmes would fuck everything up at the wedding, insult everyone and just ruin John's relationship with Mary. I mean I guess he kinda does that- but I just feel like... I just feel like Sherlock isn't as much of a sociopath as he previously was- I know that shows character development, but I kinda liked him the way he was before.
Anyway, that's that. I'll watch the last episode probably tomorrow. Having only 3 episodes per season is torture. At least GoT will have more episodes- but I guess they probably have a larger budget as well.
Very soon I'll be looking forward to Season 4 of Sherlock.
