Well. It's the episode we've been waiting for. And it lived up to my every expectation! :D

There will probably be more than one post about this episode, because ... well. Because there was just so much stuff in there. I can't express my many and various thoughts in this slap-dash just-before-bed working-on-memory manner. Definitely it needs a re- ( Read more... )

Thanks. See, this is why I shouldn't make flaily posts at one in the morning, it always ends in HTML fail. :/

It really was. Oh God, yes, bring on the hounds! *bounce*

Yeah, you need a Sherlock icon. But Morgana is a very good close second. *nods*

Haha, you're going to want to fix your html. :P

-I AGREE SO HARD ABOUT MORIARTY. God, I fucking adore him, my heart and all of the spare ones I can find lying around in a box to Andrew Scott for a brilliant, creepy, fucking terrifying performance, holy shit, man's a scary genius.

-"THE SPECKLED BLONDE" MADE ME LOL SO HARD, NO LIE. AND THE DEER STALKER. HERE'S TO WELL-CRAFTED HOMAGES. ♥

-Haha I totally thought John was being carted off to see Moriarty, too!

-Nonononono, honey, I think you've missed the point of that scene with John and Irene. Because he says, "We're not a couple," he says, "I'm not gay." And then she says, "Well, I am. But here we are.." [paraphrasing] It's about the fluidity and changeability of sexual identity and the inadequacy of labels, because John is "straight" and Irene is "gay" and they both love Sherlock anyway. That scene made me so so fucking happy, because a) I can totally relate, and b) I do read John as straight, but this is like having our cake and eating it too, because I suppose you ( ... )

Haha, yeah, thanks. That'll teach me not to check my posts over. XD

- Andrew Scott is pretty much a genius, yes. Augh, Moriarty! *creeped out all over again* Not many people could pull off shouting down a phone one second and 'I will skin you' in a completely calm tone of voice the next without it being silly. And he does. And I could fangirl about this all day.

- 'The Speckled Blond' was great - but I'm also kind of sad that we won't get a full episode based on 'The Speckled Band' (which is one of my favourites by dint of being the first Holmes story I read). But the title makes up for it. (As does John's blog post about the case.) I AM ALL OVER THE WELL-CRAFTED HOMAGES. <3 <3 <3 ( ... )
