It's all leading up to the third episode though. The second episode, while it builds a little on the story of Moriarty's master plan, is sort of a standalone episode based on the Sherlock Holmes tale "The Hound of the Baskervilles." In this version of the story the title has been slightly changed to "The Hounds of the Baskerville." It's a tiny change, but one that makes sense as soon as you realize what's going on. At one point Watson jokes that Holmes probably has Aspergers, he's probably not that far off. Always trying to hide any sort of sentiment. His outward demeanor is calm most of the time, but inside he's frantic with emotion. Holmes is still obsessed with himself and any sort of knowledge that would be helpful in solving crimes. The more attention he gets, the more closed off he becomes. You can feel Holmes becoming meaner this time around. Watson's blog, about their cases, is becoming more and more popular with each case they solve. Holmes is gaining popularity in the media as people start becoming familiar with the amateur detective who can solve crimes much faster and more effectively than the police. The first episode really sets the tone for the rest of the season.
Sherlock is recruited by his brother Mycroft (Mark Gatiss) to find her and a the pictures she claims to have of a high-ranking, but anonymous member, of the royal family. Irene Adler (Lara Pulver) is a dominatrix who stays safe by collecting secrets from her clients who are usually people that are extremely important government figures.
Another well-known character from the Holmes universe is introduced. The first episode, "A Scandal in Belgravia" is tailored to carry on as a passage from the first season to the second season. The second season features three 90 minute episodes, just like the first season. They do, but I won't tell you why or how. We know that for there to be a second season that somehow Holmes and Watson escape from this situation. Sherlock holds a gun and is about to shoot the bomb vest that was strapped to Watson. The second season picks up right where the first left off. I've been waiting to find out how John Watson (Martin Freeman) and Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) escape from Jim Moriarty's (Andrew Scott) clutches at the end of the first season. Although, the wait for the Blu-rays is just as excruciating. I couldn't wait the allotted time for the next episode to air. I hate to be left hanging at the end of these episodes because they're just too good. I want to be able to sit down and watch them all at once. I don't watch 'Sherlock' when it airs on PBS simply because I want to wait for the Blu-rays to come out.
