Breaking news: anniehow sometimes posts!

There will be a ranty post about July, the month of gainful employment that sucked my soul (soon to a cinema near you!) but it will be probably boring, as most rants are, and... self-indulgently ranty. This is not that post.

I have a 'temporary' folder in my bookmarks where I keep links to fics I want to rec. Some of those links are now more than a

'Course, I have some issues: like others, I kinda figured out the killer in the first episode right at the start. In the second, ye olde mysteerious oriental villains made me go more wtf? than 'they are different and creepy!' which seemed to be the point of a lot of the setting (seriously, the montage of The Orientals Are Watching You set to creepy music? With several shots of bored teenagers? I'm supposed to find that inherently creepy? Really, Moffat?).

Oh my God, SO MUCH WORD.

And on all the rest of it too. I don't know whether I am fondest of John or of Sherlock at present - I &hearts them both VERY MUCH for different reasons. (I also &hearts Sarah, and shall be Most Saddened if she isn't a recurring character, like Miss Molly.)

There was a moment there where I was all 'they're going to actually kill Sarah because Watson's wives always die/disappear and I will be sad' and then they didn't! And I was happy!

I was hoping we'd get an Irene Adler as well, but if it's only three episodes math says it's going to be Moriarty next Sunday.

How about Benedict Cumberbatch in a costume drama?

Well, there goes any productivity on my part for the morning! I hope you're happy now *points accusingly*

HIVE MIND

I am so glad you have a thing for Sherlock himself as well. The weird thing is I've never fancied that actor before, but he is just made for Sherlock! The dark curly hair, pale skin, pale eyes - and the weird thing is I didn't see it so much at first but a couple of days after seeing the first episode I woke up ridiculously attracted to him. It's a strange sort of good looking, kind of like Alice Krige, but omg is it sexy!

(It's also the first Sherlock incarnation where I've ever actually WANTED to read Sherlock/John slash. IDEK why all things considered he pulls off the asexual thing brilliantly. I think maybe that actually might be the very reason it appeals! Flirtier incarnations of Sherlock haven't really done it for me but the disinterest on this one's part just makes me go OMG DO WANT because I am a contrary Mary)

HAHAHA, that's the Rodney McKay effect! Stealth hotness! You don't know it's there until it's too late ;-P

YES, he DOES pull off asexual really well. He manages to project a whole "why waste time on sex when there are so many more interesting things?"
