Now that "Elementary" has closed the book on a successful first season with a jaw-dropping reveal, the work begins on Season 2.
《基本演绎法》以令人大跌眼镜的秘密结束了成功的第一季,第二季的故事已经在紧锣密鼓地筹备中。

It's already been announced that next season's opener will be filmed in London for a story that's sure to explore some of Sherlock's roots, and the show's creator and executive producer Rob Doherty admits that the writers are just getting started on plans for next season. But during a conference call to discuss last night's finale, Doherty did share some of what we might see when "Elementary" returns in the fall.
《基本演绎法》早已经宣布下一季的揭幕地将在伦敦,并且故事中是一定要去探寻Sherlock的本根的。该剧集的创作者和执行制片人Rob Doherty承认,剧作家们刚刚开始为下一季剧情做计划。但在一次讨论前一晚的大结局的电话会议中,Doherty也分享了一些我们可能在秋季《基本演绎法》回归时会看到的故事。

"The story's still being developed," Doherty explains about the show's trip to London. "But my guess is it would only be Sherlock and Joan. I think story wise it might be hard to justify a trip for all of our players. I'd love to have Captain Gregson [in London too]. In the pilot we explained he worked and lived there for a little while. That's how he met Sherlock. So he does have some (seniority) with Scotland Yard. But at the moment I'm going to say no. Probably we're going to limit this trip to Sherlock and Joan."
“故事也一直在发展,”Doherty就新剧的伦敦之旅解释道,“但我的猜测是,(主人公)也只会是Sherlock和Joan。我认为明智的故事情节可能很难说清楚一个有我们所有角色都参与的旅程。我也很希望队长Gregson(也在伦敦)。在试行中我们解释到他曾经在伦敦工作过和生活过一会儿,正是如此他遇到了Sherlock。因此他与苏格兰场也有一些(渊源)。但现在我将会说这是不可能的,可能是我们要把这趟旅行限制在Sherlock和Joan两人之间吧。”

But Doherty also thinks the London episode could be exactly the right time to meet a very important character. "I've always loved the idea of Sherlock's dad -- this person that is spoken of but never seen," he says. "I enjoy that aspect of it and yet if we had an opportunity to work with a great actor, somebody who could look at and go, Oh yes, absolutely! That's our Sherlock's dad; that's the guy who you could see parenting or not parenting Jonny Lee Miller, we would go for it. You never know. The London episode might be the perfect time to meet Sherlock's dad and get a better sense of him and his relationship with his son."
但Doherty也认为在伦敦的这一集可能是出现一个重要的角色的正确时机。“我一直很喜欢夏洛克的爸爸一个想法——这个人总是被说到,但从未出现过,”他说,“我喜欢他的感觉,如果我们有机会与一个伟大的演员一起工作,一定有人会去看并演绎的。哦,是的,当然!这就是我们的Sherlock的爸爸;这个人你可以看得出有没有养育Jonny Lee Miller,我们会去的。天知道!伦敦一集可能是Sherlock爸爸更好地了解他和他儿子的关系的最好的时机。

Another storyline that's likely on tap for Season 2 is exploring more of Joan's past. "We've toyed with the idea of getting a little more into her backstory," Doherty reveals. "What really happened? How did her patient die? How much of it was her fault? What's her comfort level with the idea of a return to a surgical career? It's all fodder for Season 2."
另一个潜在的故事线可能是对John的过去的挖掘。“我们已经开始提到更多一点关于她的背景故事的想法,”Doherty透露到,“到底发生了什么事?她的病人是怎么死?有多少是她的错?当重回外科事业的想法出现时她的适应水平又是多少?这些都是第二季的素材。”

And fans should expect the mix of episodic mysteries and longer arcs like Season 1's Moriarty saga to continue into Season 2. "I predict that next season will feel in many respects like this one," Doherty says. "We will absolutely have standalone stories and cases. But there will be certain stories that you can arc over a run or a stretch of shows. We still have to find those and identify them -- What's the kind of story we want to build over four or five, six episodes? This year we had our work cut out for us with Moriarty. We knew we wanted to get here by the end of the season."
和影迷们所望的情节一样,像第一季中连续的神秘事件和更长的故事交叉的Moriarty的传奇故事将会在第二季继续。“我预测,下一季在许多方面都会像这样,”Doherty说,“我们将不全有完全独立的故事和案例。但也会有一定的故事让你能在剧集中延展一下。我们仍然要找到那些和识别它们——我们希望建立超过四或五,六集的故事是什么?今年我们已经削减了关于Moriarty故事的许多工作计划。我们知道我们想在新一季结束的时候再回到这个故事上来。”
