I randomly saw Benedict pop up in a movie I was only half-watching during the train ride to Sevilla lol. My best friend was like, "Hey, isn't that the guy in Sherlock?" And I was like, "Yeah. O.O" It was quite funny and odd at the same time. \:D/

O. My. Goodness. This. Is. Amazing.
I'm watching episode 3 of season 2. Worth every minute.
Although I found episode three of season 1 quite predictable, I figured out who was behind it all by the second phone call \:D/
Can't wait for season three \:D/
Although I just realized that a majority of TV shows I watch are BBC Shows.

Wait, what? He's alive? Because he must be alive if he can...

Did the Queen start leaning on Moffat to do more? Because I heard that that was what happened to Doyle.

I think I will have to check this show out when I have time.
I randomly caught part of an episode a while ago and liked what I saw.

I encourage you to do so, bookworm. \:D/ As my French professor often said, "History repeats itself, and so do I": Sherlock is brilliant.

I also love Tumblr. \:D/ (Except for the Johnlock shippers. :x They make me want to hit the computer screen.)

I watched the first episode and enjoyed it. I didn’t realize these were modern retellings of actual Holmes stories, I thought it was just a modern representation of the character. The reimagining of Holmes and Watson’s first meeting was especially clever; it was similar enough to be nostalgic but nuanced enough to give a good example of what this updated series is going to be like.

OMGOSH.

OMGOSH.

You guys have NO IDEA.

Aeva and I just marathoned the final four episodes of the six. WHOAHMYGOSH. I know I'm behaving in quite an immature and non-adultish way, but I DON'T CARE.

I JUST SPENT FIFTEEN MINUTES IN HYSTERIA.

I remember those days, watching them with my roommates. And especially watching the last one and crying and being amazed at the end.

you go ahead and be hysterical, Termite. I fully support your reasons. :)

Okay... now that I'm in a better mental state, let me define said hysteria: It took me about twenty minutes to stop sobbing/laughing/screaming. It was literally THE craziest reaction to ANYTHING I have ever experienced. xD

My friend thought the season 1 finale was superior to the season 2 finale, to which I disagreed. What does everyone else think?

Both finales were great. But the second one really blew me away.

I forgot to post this before. A friend of my good friend goes to film school and was studying abroad this past semester in England and is a huge fan of Sherlock. So of course they happened to be in London during the shooting of season 3 \:D/ she took some pictures that I have put into an album for all of you to enjoy \:D/

I like the show, but my problem is that I get so jealous of Sherlock's ingenuity and end up becoming sad that I'm not a genius like him...

The Blind Banker had a very intriguing story. Interesting that Moriarty was behind this, like the first one. I wonder if he’s going to be responsible for all of these, like it’s some kind of contest between him and Sherlock.



The Great Game was hard to keep up with at times with the many separate yet connected stories. It was fun to see Watson develop his own observational skills. Then the Mycroft story was sort of confusing to keep track of because it was just a side focus as everything else was going on.
The confrontation with Moriarty left me speechless. I can’t tell if I love or hate this incarnation.
And then boom - cliffhanger? That was abrupt and unexpected.
