Most of us know and love — or at least have a slight fondness for — the Wallace and Gromit guys, more officially known as Aardman Animations. They are the claymation creators behind The Pirates! Band of Misfits 3D, which I saw with a friend at the Westfield Mall in San Francisco.

I had to do it! I’ve been waiting to finish off Sherlock (so to speak), in part because life has been busy, and in part because it would mean a lengthy wait for season three before my next Sherlock fix. But I just had to watch “The Reichenbach Fall” before it official airs on PBS in May.
Once again, I don’t do a full recap, but turn back now if you haven’t seen the episode and want to avoid any surprises. I do talk about the ending.

For those of you who have not yet seen “A Scandal in Belgravia” — PBS is due to start airing season two of Sherlock on May 6, 2012 — this review talks about the episode, but doesn’t give away any information crucial to the mysteries. Still, if you want to wait and see it fresh without any clue, turn away from the door now!

Sherlock premiered in the UK in July of 2010 and is an update of the the classic mysteries penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle over a century ago. The opening seconds are quite insistent about how un-Victorian they are — the slickly shot images of modern warfare announce to us that this is not going to be an old-fashioned BBC costume drama.
