Top 10 Sherlock Episodes (Till Now)

Top 10 Sherlock episodes

With the recent airing of the Sherlock Christmas Special, The Abominable Bride, we’ve come to ten full episodes of Sherlock over six years. And since ten is the best number to use for a countdown list, why not take this moment to rank all the episodes released till date?

Before we get on with the list, though, some clarifications. Firstly, only full fledged episodes will count, so Many Happy Returns, the promotional webisode, will not be on this list. Secondly, this will be quite a subjective list, so if you don't agree with it, go make your own instead.


Without further ado, let's go through the top 10 episodes of Sherlock!

SPOILER ALERT, of course.

FLASH - PROFESSOR ZOOM Teaches A Lesson

Tom Cavanagh and Professor Zoom

Given that Flash - the TV Series is building up its plot for the second season around another
speedster. The mysterious yet ‘supposedly having a cooler costume’ than the Flash himself - Zoom. It is only worthwhile to take a look at the current Flash story arc being run by DC (which came to a conclusion, only gearing up to address the aftermath, in the latest issue) centering around the actual rival of the Flash, the antagonist of Season 1 of the Flash TV series – Professor Zoom aka Eobard Thawne aka Reverse Flash (one among five others) aka a-few-other-aliases.

A Bunch Of Random Awards Given To Movies And Stuff - 2015 Edition

2/1/2016

 
by Luv Mehta
It’s a new year already. We saw our first celebrity roast (and then proceeded to lose our shit), saw a spate of popular and high-quality serialized webseries (like TVF Pitchers) and saw our first Indian news satire show (On Air With AIB). We freaked out about Free Basics and Narendra Modi, went into an outrage about how no one was in an outrage over the Chennai floods, changed our profile pictures to show support for legalization of homosexuality in the US, for the victims of the Paris attacks and for Digital India (that last one I judged the hell out of).

For a dweeb like me, 2015 was pretty alright. While making a top 10 list of movies, though, I fell kinda short. So, I reasoned, why not take a look at the year that passed and hand out arbitrary awards to various things I watched in this year gone by?​


So, without further ado, I present the Name Pending Awards 2015. Cue recorded fanfare.

What Being Married To A Diamond Is Like - Doctor Who Style (Doctor Who Christmas 2015 Special)

The Doctor and River Song

​Christmas is synonymous with indulging yourself in some unpretentiously glutinous, unadulterated fruit-cake, kicking up your tired heels and letting good sense out the door while saying hello to glittering festivities. The Doctor Who Christmas Special is along the same lines.

And Now For Something Completely Different - Monty Python's Flying Circus

“Silliness is about a way of dealing with things you perhaps don’t want to do or when life gets rather, not exactly boring, but the way life is organised and the way people behave rather pompously and rather self-righteously and assume that they run this, that or the other – then you need silliness. It’s very, very important.”

-Michael Palin, one of the Pythons.

Write Scripts, Not Novels - Analyzing Why True Detective Season Two Failed

23/10/2015

Last week, we talked about the thematic complexities of True Detective's first season and why they made the show so great. With yang comes yin, however, and True Detective has unfortunately been victim to a hugely scrutinized and highly derided sophomore slump.

​
While it may have been a disappointment, though, it makes for a highly interesting case study. So let's look at what worked in season two, and, of course, what went wrong.
