Mit dem Start ins neue Jahr kommt auch die vierte und (voraussichtlich letzte) Staffel der BBC Serie Sherlock ins Fernsehen. Ein guter Grund, um mal alles wieder aufzufrischen.

Mit Mr. Holmes bringt Regisseur Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Twilight – Breaking Dawn 1 + 2) ein ruhiges und intimes Portrait des fiktiven Meisterdetektivs in die Kinos. Getragen von Ian McKellens Performance ist Mr. Holmes eine erfrischende alternative zur beliebten BBC-Serie mit Benedict Cumberbatch.

Zum wahrscheinlich letzten Mal begeben wir uns ins Kino, um nach Mittelerde gebracht zu werden, die riesige Welt, die die Kinozuschauer seit 2001 fesselt. Doch Bilbos Weg neigt sich dem Ende zu und wir wollen mal schauen, ob das ein Abschied in Würden ist.

 Plus, I am super convinced that no matter what happens in the Season premiere THIS is the definitive answer to what happened in the second season of Sherlock).

WARNING!: There will be spoilers for Sherlock’s first two seasons and Star Trek Into Darkness.

Trust me… I have gone through all the episodes frame by frame and I have now discovered all the missing details. Writer Steven Moffat hinted during an interview that he was aware of all the fan speculation but that all the theories on the internet he had come across had missed one important detail that will explain everything about how Sherlock cheated death.

And I can now say that I am 99% sure of what detail he meant and that the answer is trickier than we thought. You see, Sherlock Holmes is not really Sherlock Holmes, it was just a smokescreen to conceal his true identity. His real name, is…

On January 1st the British re-interpration of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes will return in the form of the third Season of BBC’s Sherlock. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hobbit) as the title giving detective and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Ali G. Inda House (yes, check it out just to see Freeman as a gangsta!)) as Dr. John Watson. And after the cliffhanger from Season 2 featuring a confrontation between Sherlock and his archenemy Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) we had to wait 2 years to find out what happened in these final moments.

This essay will contain spoilers for Season 1-2 of Sherlock and will go into the depths of my fears for Season 3:
