The Return of Holmes

     Holmes and Watson are back for BBC's next installment of three episodes. The first episode, A Scandal in Belgravia, aired in the US on Sunday night. This episode is based off of the tale A Scandal in Bohemia and introduces us to the seductively cunning Irene Adler. Ms. Alder flashes into the world of Holmes quickly and intensely only to disappear once again, leaving Sherlock to deal with a tide of emotions he has no way of knowing how to handle. But is she really gone for good?
     This first episode gives promise to season two being just as grand and enticing as season one. Watson's blog is up and running as he writes up each case the crime solving duo takes on their publicity continues to grow. Living in the media age Sherlock has become something of a celebrity to the public, whether he likes it or not. As promised the classic Holmes look was completed with a newspaper shot of Holmes and Watson exiting a crime wearing the long jacket and hat that could be considered classic Holmes trade mark items.




     Next up on the adventure list is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hounds of Baskerville. This episode's description promises thrills, chills and laughs as our Cleaver detective and his blogger head into the moors to investigate Baskerville's legendary Hell Hound. 
     A Scandal in Belgravia kicked off the season with a twisting plot, Sherlock's down fall and redemption and set the tone for what looks to be a promising second season for the mystery solving team. Stay tuned for The Hounds of Baskerville Sunday night at 9pm on OPB.
