Cleverness Is His Superpower: Five Tasty Tidbits from "Sherlock" Series 2

After a lengthy delay in filming due to other schedule commitments (Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch both star in The Hobbit and Steven Moffat was tied up with “Doctor Who”), BBC One’s “Sherlock” Series 2 will finally debut across the pond in January. Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ dark, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective, along with the brilliant combination of actors left audiences salivating for more; only three episodes per year is practically cruel and unusual torture. But soon the waiting will be over and here are a few tidbits to whet your appetites.

1. Series 2 begins airing the first of three episodes on BBC One, January 1, 2012 with “A Scandal in Belgravia,” written by Steven Moffat. “The Hounds of Baskerville,” written by Mark Gatiss airs January 8th, followed by the January 15th debut of “The Reichenbach Fall,” written by Steve Thompson. PBS is set to run the episodes in May 2012, as if anyone could wait that long.

I get nerdy cute, but man alive, Benedict Cumberbatch is an ugly mofo.

As if Moffat and Gatiss didn't give us enough (16 months ago!), Benedict Cumberbatch in naught but a falling sheet. That's one mystery solved.

January can't come fast enough. I misse my dark-haired Cumberbatch so much.

Ah, Moffat. I can only imagine how much more I would love your shows if only I could stand you, just a little bit. Not that you care, of course.

Yay!! Must find other source to watch before May...
Love the anagrams, love the effects, hope Irene doesn't suck as a character.

Well, it seems Red John has moved to the UK...and changed his colo(u)r.

He really doesn't.

Cumberbum!

That Cumberbatch fellow makes my lady bits tingle.

"I always hear, 'Punch me in the face,' when you're speaking, but it's usually subtext." Hee! May is too far away.

I watched this show on my phone wandering around lower Manhattan at night on Christmas Eve. It was deserted and cold and I was weighed down by video equipment, and I can't think of a better way to watch it. Fun as hell.

That's lower Manhattan, to be clear. Nothing deserted about Midtown on Christmas. But if you're ever in New York on a major holiday, try to find a neighborhood that tourists don't visit and you'll feel like you have the whole city to yourself.

If I have to wait 5 extra months, I swear to God I will find a way to sneak into the Pentagon and nuke Britain.

Why, why do they hate us so much? Is it because we ruined Torchwood? Please, it was not our fault. Do not hold all of us responsible for a bunch of assholes at Starz. I mean they spell Stars with a Z, what the hell did you think they were going to do to you're show.

Yes, what they did to Torchwood was vile, but please, please, please let me have Sherlock before May. I'll donate to PBS, whatever you want, just give me the damn show in January you miserable limey bastards or I will kill you all.
