> [@Ephemera](#): > > I keep waiting for Firefly to come back from hiatus. Same. Also waiting on The Unusuals; they sure are taking a long break! šŸ˜› I will be jonesing when NewsRoom ends the season; lord knows when the next one will be, or if there will be one. Since I like the show, itā€™ll probably tank. Looking forward to Game of Thrones and Once Upon A Time returning, though. ---

> [@](#): > > ā€œI always found it a little unlikely that Dr Watsonā€™s only reaction was to faint for instance ā€“ as supposed to possibly a stream of terrible swear words.ā€ Iā€™m O.K. if thatā€™s not his _only_ reaction. But I am not going to be happy if he doesnā€™t get to faint at all. ā€œThe Empty Houseā€ is my favorite Sherlock Holmes story because of that scene. I used to be in agony in August waiting for my shows to return. But with DVDs, the Internet, and summer cable series, Iā€™ve lost any sense of a defined T.V. season. I just watch whatever is available now, and then am pleasantly surprised to learn that something I like is back. As much as I want to see Sherlock return, I had forgotten all about it until this thread. ---

Iā€™m living for the next season of ā€œMisfitsā€ to come on - weā€™re watching the first three seasons on Apple TV\* now, then we start on ā€œSherlock.ā€ Seriously, if you havenā€™t started watching ā€œMisfitsā€ yet, START NOW! Itā€™s beyond awesome. \*I have to buy the third season still - Iā€™m hoping the price goes down soon. ---

ā€œJustifiedā€ - itā€™s one of only a handful of shows that both my wife and I enjoy, and so far itā€™s maintained itā€™s quality. I thought for sure they had peaked with Mags Bennett as the ā€œBig Badā€ in Season 2, but damned if Quarles wasnā€™t scary and entertaining as hell. Canā€™t wait to see whatā€™s on tap next season. ---

Despite a general decline in quality/increase in stunt casting and questionable incidents (_Oh, the plane \*\*just happened \*\*to go from on time departure to delayed just as the last team was approaching the airport??_) over the years, in my household, we pretty much end each season of The Amazing Race wondering when the next will begin. Like, turning off the TV after the finale and saying, ā€œI wonder how long until the next one?ā€ I am also really wishing the next seasons of Shameless and Nurse Jackie would start. I pretty much started mourning the end of each before the season finales of last season. I can count on one hand the number of TV shows I watch, so when theyā€™re not current, I barely watch TV at all. Not that thatā€™s a bad thingā€”in fact, I really donā€™t want **more** shows that Iā€™m interested inā€”but I like a bit of TV now and again. ---

Iā€™m not reading any of those spoilers for Season 3 of Sherlock, even if they are publically known. Iā€™d rather wait. Iā€™m one of those people that wonā€™t even open the paper if I know thereā€™s a potential of spoilers, even minor ones! I just. Canā€™t. Wait. ---

**mika** - Howā€™d you manage to wait until August to see the last ep of Series 2? And wasnā€™t it fabulous? Martin Freeman breaks my heart. Benedict Cumberbatch was great, of course, but Martin Freeman is more nuanced, I think. StG ---

So when it FINALLY came on DVD, I put it on my Netflix queue, at the top of the queue, immediately. However, i think they must have only gotten three disks or something, because that entailed another wait of a couple of weeks until I was able to get it. I donā€™t mind waiting. Well, I do, but it does up the excitement. I just worry that once everyone else has seen it, they donā€™t avoid spoilers the way I do. I donā€™t expect people to cater to my ways, I just have to work extra hard to avoid them. And yes it was totally fabulous. ETA: Martin Freeman is great, but I am totally in love with Sherlock. ---

It hasnā€™t been on BBC America, but it was on PBSā€™ Masterpiece Mystery. I splurged and bought the DVDs, however. When series 3 comes out on BBC, Iā€™m so going to learn how to do the proxy server thing, though. I canā€™t think of any other show Iā€™m willing to got out of my way for. StG ---

I really loved ā€œAmerican Horror Storyā€. The second season is supposed to be a lot different, but hopefully just as good. ---

I canā€™t wait to see the next series of Montabalno, which we see this side of the pond on BBC4. Its an Italian production about a Sicilian police detective. If you donā€™t mind sub titles its just the thing to watch on wet, gloomy winters night. Sunshine by proxy ! ---
