I don't know how long one episode takes to film and edit so lets say 6 weeks per episode (being generous) I'd say we're looking at air-dates anytime from September-December. Early would be nice but i don't see it

yeah, i guess so. they are one and a half hour long, though, so that's gotta take some time with all the filming and editing and stuff. i can wait, i just hope they're good.

It's the fact they're feature length that makes the wait worth while. I sometimes think Doctor Who should go the same route, several feature length episodes a year giving the ability to tell stories on a grander scale

i think this method is way better than having like 20 short episodes per season, which show events that don't make much sense or sort of connect to each other. at least, in a hour-and-a-half-long episode, every little thing is shown and the mass confusion is lowered. i really like the idea of 3 episodes per season, and i gotta admire the fact that they're able to film three 1.5-hour long episodes and air them the same year, or within a year from the beginning of the production.

I think the way the BBC does it's programmes the way it does (short series between 3-6 episodes) cuts down on filler episodes that are rather naff.
I'm sure we've all seen a 22 episode season of whatever and thought "damn half that run was crap". At the same time though i do understand the "wow BBC that series was awesome but why is it so short?" from international viewers |

That's why shows like Sherlock are so damn good. Although, in this instance, Benedict Cumberbumberbatch is responsible too |

Same. I've never been into star trek and now I'm curious.
I was mind blown when I realized Martin Freeman is the lead in The Hobbit film. Kinda gasped loudly in the cinema and very proud of him. |

i prefer Martin's role in Sherlock rather than The Hobbit, tbh. i think his acting was good in The Hobbit but imo he's generally a rather comic character and i think the 'laughable' moments in Sherlock suited him better.

He's a master of deadpan comedy IMO, something he perfected while playing Tim Canterbury in The Office. Him playing Watson in Sherlock is kind of a similar character to Tim. |
