Finished season 3 of Sherlock and I gotta say, this is the gayest show about heterosexual men I've ever watched.



EVERYTHING SHERLOCK DOES IS FOR JOHN????????????????????

HIS HEART LITERALLY RESTARTED WHEN MORIARTY TOLD HIM JOHN WAS IN DANGER???????????????


HE MURDER MAGNUSSEN SO THAT JOHN COULD BE HAPPY WITH MARY????????????? EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE SENT ON A SUICIDE MISSION????????????????????????

Like okay, I like Mary well enough, she's pretty adorable, but I am super not invested in that marriage at all, like dang, why should I care about it? There's was no build up there at all, she just showed up while Sherlock was gone. The season started and there she was. Naaaaaaah.

I really don't want to be one of those people who hates a (female) character because she's "gets in the way" of my ship but. BUT.

ALTHO I quite liked Janine, hahaha, she was pretty dang funny. I'm also interested in just what it was that she and Sherlock did, since apparently they didn't have sex. Hmmm. :\a

This is the season where the writing really seemed to go downhill, hahaha.



I dunno when I'll get around to watching season 4. Probably tomorrow? Maybe?

Well! I'm glad the first episode of season 3 happened, because I really wanted Sherlock to not be dead, hahaha. But really, everything after that has been...??? Just regular case!episodes would have been preferable, I think, to the convoluted storyline (and frankly kind of boring wedding episode) that Mary and Magnussen brought in.

I'd read somewhere that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ended up really disliking Sherlock Holmes there in the end (I have no idea if that's true) so he probably does role in his grave a little bit when Sherlock gets resurrected, haha.

Sherlock and John have a type of character interaction that works so well for me, hits all my pings. The brilliant, anti-social genius being fascinated and drawn to the hapless everyday man is a trope that I ADORE.

What I'm really wondering is why it took me so long to watch this show, haha.

That trope decently describes the primary ship I write recently, so... XD There's a few reasons why I like this show despite all the things that have been disappointing. You know, not like I've been wearing a bracelet with a Sherlock quote on it practically every day for 2+ years or anything. "I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one second that I am one of them." If you want one I can direct you to the person who made it.

You are getting into it late, but just think how much waiting that saved you, not having to deal with the years between seasons.
