?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.

Great, now how about we get them every year instead of two? :(

Sherlock Season 4 does not currently have a release date, though based on the scheduling of the first three seasons, it will likely come out in Britain and America in 2016.

 

I don't even know if i'll be alive by twenty sixteen :(  :laugh:

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.

How he ruins the engagement was pretty straightforward!

Just started watching the series, in the last few days, and finished the first season. I have 3 major complains about the show. There is almost no character development, the seasons are too short, and new seasons only come out every 2 years. I do like the show though, it just makes it harder to really want to watch something that is on such a ridiculous schedule.

I hope the next season doesn't feel as rushed as the most recent season did.

 

I think the character development issue is a big deal for the villain, not so much for Sherlock and Watson. Adding a few extra episodes to help fill in those gaps would be great though. And it really doesn't even need to be that many episodes, an extra three would probably do it.

 

I think they want to have something that feels face paced and the way they write the show, that can only be accomplished with three episodes. But that's just my opinion.

When does this start up again? Seems all my favorite shows are coming later in the year :/

There's an announcement at 2:21 today apparently so we might know something then!

The BBC has released an image of the crime-solving duo donning some 19th century threads, and while this looks like a promo image, the BBC?s Twitter account confirms that this is how they?ll appear in the special. Sherlock doesn?t do dream sequences, so I?m intrigued as to why Sherlock and Watson are wearing some period garb. Unfortunately, the answer is a long ways off.

The 80s and 90s Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett is one of my most favorite TV series to date and the best sherlock series ever to me. Too bad we lost Jeremy too soon.

 

I'm not really that much of a fan of the new, modern series. It's too over-the-top for me, doesn't really fit the modern era IMO and seems to be geared towards general public and young viewers specifically rather than the regular sherlock holmes fans.

 

Let's see how this special pans out. I wouldn't mind if they set one season in the Victorian London with cases similar, but not the same, to Conan Doyle's writings.

 

P.S. I really enjoyed the latest holmes games, Crimes and Punishments.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
