Henchman Ranks All the Sherlock Episodes
The hit BBC show Sherlock ended it’s four-series run this past weekend, and I’m happy to say I was a fan right through the end. This show had a shockingly good debut all the way back in 2010 and, like everybody else, I waited patiently over the years for each new exciting installment. It made superstars out of lead actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, it spawned two American clones, and it’s probably defined the character for the new century.
Sherlock was a pretty good show.
It’s a good hat
Sherlock was far from perfect, though. By seasons three and four, I think it was struggling under the weight of its own dazzling debut. The creative people involved were more weathered and deep in the business by the end, and I think they were unable to re-capture the magic of the first two seasons. But I don’t fault Sherlock. It’s still a grand achievement and a delight to watch again and again.
And since there’s a solidly finite number of episodes, I’ve decided to rank them from worst to best! In my own opinion, of course. Your thoughts may vary, and I’d love to see your own list in the comments!
Join me after the jump as I rank all 13 episodes of Sherlock!
New Logan Trailer Is OK, I Guess
Compared to the Mighty Morpin’ craziness of the Power Rangers trailer earlier, I just don’t think this new Logan trailer holds up. The tone could be interesting, but what exactly are we seeing here? Old Man Logan learns to be a softy again thanks to impressionable young girl?
At least they seem to be getting their R-ratings’ worth of swear words and blood. I suppose that counts for something to movie executives.

The Power Rangers Trailer We’ve Been Waiting For!
Remember that first trailer for the Power Rangers movie, which seemed more like a reboot of The Breakfast Club? Yeah, forget all that stuff. It’s time to see the real, full, crazy movie!
This has got everything! Morphing! Zords! Monsters! Jokes! Putties! Craziness! Zordon! Alpha! This really does look like the freakin’ Power Rangers! This is crazy, crazy stuff, and I’m more excited than ever about this movie!

6 Insane Characters Peter Dinklage Could Play Other Than Pip the Troll
Awesome actor extraordinaire Peter Dinklage was recently announced as being in talks to star in the two upcoming Avengers sequels. So I had the bright idea of doing a List of Six about the possible roles that Dinklage could play. Of course, the entire rest of the Internet had the very same idea. Clearly great minds think alike.
So much Dinklage attention!
The smart thing to do would be to cut my losses and just do another list. But then I got to thinking: why not just be lazy and make my own list anyway? I’ve never done a list about Peter Dinklage before. Why not? Besides, pretty much everybody on the Internet has pegged Dinklage for the same handful of potential characters: Pip the Troll, the Watcher, Mephisto, Adam Warlock or M.O.D.O.K. And yeah, these are all solid ideas.
But what if I opened up the awesome expanse of my geeky mind and came up with six character possibilities that no sane person would possibly consider?! Yeah, that might be fun.
Holy Robin! It’s Robin in Injustice League 2!
My interest in DC Comics video games rises and falls with whether or not Robin is involved. I’m shameless in this, and I don’t mind. So when Robin didn’t appear in Injustice: Gods Among Us, I was a little less interested in the game — though it did feature Nightwing, and Robin was involved in the tie-in comics.
Well the new trailer for Injustice 2 features Robin for reals, people! It’s Damian Wayne, to be sure, but he’s got a real Robin costume!
Robin shows up about a minute into the trailer fighting Batman. So it’s not like my dream come true of a heroic Tim Drake version is going to happen. But I will take what I can get.
Here’s a screenshot showing off the Robin costume!
Not the best interpretation of a Robin costume, not even in video games. But like I said, I’ll take what I can get. I am not 100% more interested in Injustice 2.
