scandal in belgravia
Sherlock. Oh so many feelings. A lot of feelings.
If you pay attention to the things I write about Sherlock you might know that I have an investment in the Sherlock/John ship. And when I say investment, I mean an over the top obsessive never ending love and they are basically my OTP of all time, and I can never read enough fic about them and I love them forever and all the feelings ever in the world.
*ahem*
So it was with much apprehension that I watched A Scandal in Belgravia. I still can't say if I like it or not. I liked parts of it a lot, and I was just genuinely happy to to see my boys again. As well as get plot resolution to the pool scene, after reading dozens of fics about it. There were also parts I didn't really care for at all.
I knew Moffat was the writer going in, which after how I felt about what he did to Doctor Who this past season, I did not have much optimism that it was going to be good in some respects. I was disappointed that there was so much Sherlock and Irene stuff in it; I was disappointed that they had Irene be supposedly in love (or something?) with Sherlock, I didn't understand her motivations a lot of the time. I was disappointed that they ultimately did not let her win over Sherlock and had him beat her, and then on top of that, they had to have him save her life. I though her badassery was minimized at the end and it was disappointing.
Also there was too much Irene and not enough John. I can't pretend I'm not all about my ship. The little Sherlock and John interaction there was was not only non shippy but usually focused on Irene. Granted there were good moments between them, and I did enjoy John's jealousy over Irene. I am basically holding out hope that has to be some significant scenes between John and Sherlock in the next two episodes to cancel out make up for the Sherlock and Irene stuff in this episode.
I'm excited to watch the next episode tonight, partly because most of the spoilery pics and gifs I've seen were from that first episode, and I really don't know what's going to happen in this episode. I vaguely know the plot, but seeing as how far Scandal deviated from the ACD plot, that doesn't really mean much. Anyway I can only hope for more shippiness in this episode.
Having there be no Sherlock for over a year and then three new episodes in three weeks is clearly too much for me emotionally! I've only watched this episode twice and I have barely hit on half of my feelings about it!
