OMG, I forgot how intense it feels to get New Sherlock after a hiatus.  It's hard to even sort out what my reaction to the content of the show is because the whole time I'm watching it there's a part of my brain excitedly repeating "IT'S BACK!  NEW EPISODE!  IT'S BACK!  NEW EPISODE!", which gets distracting.  Here are my thoughts as best I can get ( Read more... )

Sherlock is filming.  I dislike spoilers, so I've thus far avoided looking at the setlock photos and speculation.  However, I did end up clicking on an article on The Mary Sue that shows two of the costumes.  I have some thoughts about the costumes themselves (no information or speculation on the plot.)

[Spoilers for some costumes from the upcoming Sherlock special. If you live under a large Sherlock-related rock, the costumes raise a lot of questions. Those questions are not addressed here.]

Meme time!  This one is swiped from the_redjay:  at the moment, what songs remind you of your OTPs? Since usually one of the first signs that I'm going to intensely ship a couple is that I start mentally compiling a playlist, I couldn't resist this meme.  I'm forcing myself to stick to one song per ship.  Links go to some way to listen to the song, either on ( Read more... )

So I haven't managed to post my thoughts on The Empty Hearse yet (they are complex, being mostly squee but with some caveats), and I need to go to sleep rather than writing a full post on The Sign of Three, but I have some preliminary things I must say about it.

1.  I REALLY LOVED THIS EPISODE.

Okay, I'm going to try to use sentences.

[Spoileriffic reactions]This is marvelous.  Anderson is a true believer who thinks that Sherlock is still alive!  And he is wearing a ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamt a Sherlock/Elementary crossover.  Both Sherlocks and their Watsons were in some big fancy skyscraper at night, working together on a case.  Sadly I remember absolutely no details of the mystery.  There was lots of snarking and arguing amongst Sherlock, Sherlock, John, and Joan, but they were ultimately putting their heads ( Read more... )

I've been feeling rather down about my life and the world lately, but rather than whine about it here is a list of things I've enjoyed lately:

Books/Comics
-Dust and Shadow:  An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson by Lyndsay Faye.  This is a marvelous pastiche.  Lyndsay Faye (of the Baker Street Babes podcast, although I think ( Read more... )

My muse has sadly been in a state of deep hibernation for quite some time.  However, it recently occurred to me that I never bothered to publicly own up to a little fragment of Sherlock crack I wrote for the kink meme many moons ago (original thread here). The prompt was Sherlock and Moriarty duel with banjos fancy violins.  My response is a bit of ( Read more... )

Last night, I dreamed about Sherlock's series 3.

My subconscious refused to give me any exciting new theories about how Sherlock survived the fall or his reunion with John, but I did dream one exciting and unexpected surprise about S3: one of the episodes was a musical. 
What's more, Gatiss, Moffat, et al. had NOT told the public that there would be ( Read more... )

I'm here to rec a fascinating fanfic house of mirrors that will punch you right in the emotions and make you crave more.  There are multiple parts to this recommendation, because the last fic has prerequisites.

First, have you seen Sherlock?  If not, you must be mighty bored with my LJ.  :-P  If you have, good!  Let's move on.

All the fics in this ( Read more... )
