Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It can be done.But it can occassionally be nice to switch off the subtitles and just let your eyes move across the screen the way they should, rather than making extra stops at the bottom of the frame.If you're not used to subtitles, I can see how it can be a pain to have to read them.But watching a film in its original language with subtitles will always beat watching a dub!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Subtitles pull me away from some of the finer details of a film, but after about 20 minutes or so my brain adjusts to reading and watching at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Just a bit a warning: the next episode is the worst one out of all nine, so don't give up and think the first one must have been a fluke or anything.

nightscape94 965 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 So I finished up the first season of "Sherlock" last night. Jay, you were right about the middle episode but I didn't exactly dislike it. Still good, it just had the unfortunate circumstance of being sandwiched between two great episodes, especially that finale Moriarty is a bit eccentric, eh? Off to season 2!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm convinced ep 2 is the weakest because Sherlock was originally conceived as a one hour series rather then 90 minutes.When the format changed they had to pad out the scripts, which worked fine for ep 1 and 3, but less so for ep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the show holds up.Interestingly, season 1 only features 2 of those intimate character portraits, which, in my opinion, are the best episodes by and far, and I found myself waiting for another one, rather than focusing on some of the Lost-styled mystery plotting. The second season has been almost exclusively that type of episode, focusing less on any narrative, and it's been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just finished up Season 3 Episode 1 of Sherlock. More oddball humor than in past ones, but welcome. I like that this was completely about the characters and their relationships. The villain was barely a presence and that was fine. Nice change of pace.Right now I'm voting for The Hounds of Baskerville to be the weakest so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
