they also don't know shit about sherlock holmes. mary watson was killed off in the books, too, and not even in an interesting way. in a way that male authors in the 19th century tended to kill off female side characters. off-"screen" and with little mention.
it's like she forgot about the whole suteki da ne scene. in which yuna is swimming. and just as comfortable under water for a long amount of time as a pro blitzballer.
In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words. “Work is the best antidote to sorrow, my dear Watson,” said he...
the only thing close to a "confirmation" is the bbc saying they're "reasonably hopeful". that's not saying much. normally shows are already signed for the next season by the time the current season airs. so i'm not going to believe anything until the contracts are actually signed.
"This view is echoed by showrunner Steven Moffat who tells this week’s Radio Times: “Right at this moment, we really don’t know about the future. Mark [Gatiss] and I have to have a long chat, possibly on a train, about what we’d actually do with another run. We love the show very much, and that means we don’t want to let go of it before we have to. All of us involved know that days like these will never come again and we’re in no hurry to see them over.
“At the same time, because we love Sherlock the way we do, we don’t want to keep it going past its natural term. There was a fairly long time we thought series four might not happen. Then Mark and I sat down, got very excited about some ideas, and in time pitched them to Sue [Vertue, the producer], then to Benedict and Martin. Only then, with a clear view, did we all decide to get back to work. The same has to happen again — we have to be excited. We have to think of stories we can’t bear not to make.
“Everybody’s schedule is difficult. Benedict and Martin aren’t just two of the finest actors of their generation, they’re stars, in demand everywhere. Sherlock can only ever be a passion project. So give us a moment and Mark and I will go back to [Arthur Conan] Doyle and see what we’ve missed. The game may still be on.
“Unless, of course, everybody dies at the end of series four."
^ that is what i mean when i talk about not having seasons. i feel the same way about parts of the US where it's in the 70s-90s in october. i actually like it when it's cold as balls in winter and warm in the summer.
I honestly wouldn't mind this? "Ending" the series but bringing out a fun Christmas special every couple of years wouldn't be a bad idea. It would probably be easier for everyone to handle too.
