I'm thoroughly enjoying the new series. I'm more interested in the interaction between the characters than the solving of mysteries.

The whole point of it being Sherlock is for the mysteries though. Why else make it Sherlock, he was a detective after all :p

The best way to describe it so far is self-indulgent. 

 

Exactly.  If you wanted to (nicely) parody him, it would be easy.  I know where the characters, story, heck even the soundtrack is going.  Oooh look some BBC news, a reference to a famous person, some hashtags to emphasise that it's set in "our" world...

Nice start, then it started getting side tracked and brought about a rather anti-climactic ending, only to add the twist that I've been hoping for. This season was definitely a let down compared to the first two. Hopefully the planning that the writers did for the arc in both series four and five are better and more focused on the case.

Did you miss me?

The season was pretty meh overall.  I got lost more than a couple times this episode.  For example.. how did Sherlock ruin the girls engagement?  Looking forward to next, hoping it picks up.  For now.. I guess I have elementary.. which sadly has been pretty blah so far.

My first thought is the obvious:

 

That he is not actually alive but he had an agreement of some sort with someone to continue the execution of some of his criminal plans if he was to die, in a way that would make Sherlock believe that he is still alive.

 

If they come up with a way to revive Moriarty like "he didn't actually shoot himself" or the usual "it wasn't him" crap) i think its just lame.

Moriarty shot himself with his gun. The same way Sherlock orchestrated his death (which isn't even a done deal since it's never 100% confirmed), Moriarty could have a backup plan. Or worse, Mycroft playing both sides of the game.

?Sherlock? makers sticking to abbreviated seasons

 

PASADENA, Calif. ? The makers of TV?s ?Sherlock? say even a lobbying effort by British Prime Minister David Cameron wouldn?t persuade them to produce more episodes each season.

But ?Sherlock? co-creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue tweaked Cameron anyway for lack of effort. It?s been more than a month, they noted, since he visited China and was asked by fans there to press for more of the popular mystery series.

 

He and Cumberbatch, who said he appreciated the fervor of fans, agreed they are committed to keeping ?Sherlock? going indefinitely.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
