What have you been watching on telly?

Spoiler alert if you did not see Sherlock, season 2 final episode.

Not been a fan of Sherlock Holmes generally but the films have been awesome and the TV series pretty good. I know it's not fantasy, or is it? Certainly the TV series is, bringing it into modern times with no reference to the famous sleuth from the 1890s-ish.

Having seen the final episode last night, I am left wondering if SF elements will be used to explain how SH survived the fall at the end.  He obviously planned something from his conversation with the girl in the lab (not sure of her name) at Barts before going on the roof but the fall and aftermath was a pretty convincing death for Watson.

Looking forward to Series 3 (confirmed today in comments on BBC website by Steven Moffat). Shame we have to wait for next year.

Sherlock and Moriarty seem as if they've been enacting an internet battle.

That seems really unlikely to me, other than perhaps the Baskerville drug from episode two or a sophisticated disguise, for the same reasons that Steven Moffat dismissed the idea of a Doctor Who / Sherlock crossover (here):

I think there are problems of doing that," he admitted. "Because then you would say that Sherlock Holmes lives in the same world as The Doctor, and there are Daleks and all sorts of things. If a Sherlock Holmes story depends on time travel being impossible, it's quite hard [to do it] if he's a personal friend of The Doctor's."

Aparently... There is a very similar story line in the original works of Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle killed his sleuth off - but then resurected him due to a backlash from the fans.

Been watching Rome on DVD. That's good but very smutty!

All of the Sherlock episodes are clever reimaginings of original Conan Doyle Holmes stories. That's kind of the point I think.

I'd really like to have seen "The Geek Interpreter" and "The Speckled Blonde" cases mentioned in one of the latest episodes!

Quite enjoying Grimm but it's starting to get a bit procedural.

Adventure Time is just about my favourite cartoon since Samurai Jack. It's surreal, surprising, sweet and funny, and the autotuned singing is hilarious. The comic - which I was supposedly buying for the children - is pretty much perfect too.

Starting to feel a bit sad about not having Sky Atlantic this year, with Game of Thrones season two on the way...

Me too! Must get the DVD for season 1.

We let The Walking Dead season 2 pile up on the tivo, but after a slow start we're starting to get into it now. Some great characters on there - just wish they had a bit more to do. And I'm still annoyed that the zombies in it can run, which makes so much of what the characters do seem utterly stupid. It's a key part of the comic that if you keep moving and don't get surrounded they won't catch you.

Completely caught up on The Walking Dead season 2, and it ended up being brilliant. Amazing performances from every actor (Andrew Lincoln especially), top notch zombie action every episode, and what an entrance at the end for one of the comic's best characters.

We've been catching up on Person of Interest this last couple of weeks, and it's been okay - shows some promise from time to time, but with so many episodes to a season it's  ended up running through some overfamiliar plots. Much better when it's on its own unique territory.

Think we'll get stuck into Hemlock Grove next. First episode wasn't outstanding, but there was enough to make it worth a second look.
