okay, i'm willing to admit it...i am sherlocked.

i watched all six episodes for the first time about five days ago, and i was struck by the brilliant writing, the respect for the canon, the fantastic acting, and benedict's cheekbones. *shot* no, seriously, it's actually really great. like any good purist i was skeptical, but they have really made this work. i think benny's the next jeremy brett, to be honest, and as long as the writers don't wimp out and do something stupid (like has happened for every other screen holmes at some point) this series could go forever. however, i have a suspicion it's going to be very short-lived... there will be a third season...maybe a fourth. but i think this is one of those things where...they topped out too early. they should have saved moriarty for later. but, we'll find out... hopefully, my worries will be unfounded.

anyway. on to my long-winded meme opinions...

i truthfully like sherlock and john equally in this series, they both do excellently. but i love that picture so much! he's very holmes in it, i think...

donovan needs to go back to whatever job she had before she joined the police force. seriously. why is that all women just want to cause trouble??? it's their inherent flaw, and sherlock's wise to keep his distance from most females.

lol i can't draw in paint. but seriously, you know there's nothing more important to anthea than that phone XD

and this now is the crux of it... i hate pairings. slash or het, leave it alone please! if it's not on the screen, why are you imagining things? to satisfy some need in your twisted minds?? to have an excuse to write porn!? that's what 90% of fanfiction is these days y'all who dig pairings out there really have ruined fandoms for sane people who prefer to confine their adoration to what is real, not imagined, because we can't search the internet for anything without being confronted with NC-17 rated fics and art. flame me if you want, but my mind is not changing. i hate pairings. lol i forgot to write SH+MH and cross it out... shows you how little i think about pairings XD

molly and lestrade are awesome characters what is the original quote about irene, that she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex? THAT line should be used to describe molly. because no matter what sherlock throws at her, she's as loyal and true as watson is. i'm very interested to see if her role expands in the third season (since you know she's in on the fact that sherlock's alive). and then of course there's lestrade, who calls ahead to give sherlock a warning that he's going to be arrested if he wants to get away. it's a departure from the canon portrayal of the character, but at least one policeman on the force had to have a brain, or i doubt sherlock would work with them at all. and i've gotta say...he's quite handsome.

moriarty. obviously not a canon portrayal, but you know what? it's the first portrayal that hasn't been lame. for the first time ever, he has been smart and scary onscreen, and you really see that spider that holmes is so bent on destroying in the canon. not just a frowning old bald guy... and i really don't like irene. i can kind of accept what they did with her character...but in the end she was really a wimp. just another emotional female... not nearly the equal to holmes that moriarty is and was portrayed as. so, yeah, she's my least favorite villain.

okay, i'm still on the edge of my seat for that scene! for just a few moments, sherlock is not one step ahead, and that look on his face can't be duplicated. you can see him actually consider for the briefest moment that it's been john all along, and...wow, what a plot twist. excellently written and acted.

now this one, not only was it fantastically written and acted, but...what would you call it, directing? the way they sequenced it, splicing the police scenes with moriarty's story was really great. and watching sherlock get angry... it's just great. and moriarty's delivery of those lines is fantastic. he really is the evil genius. i'm going to miss him XD

sorry, fangirls, no hugs are in their future. it's going to be yelling, and swearing, and brawling, and probably even angry refusal by john to even speak to sherlock. believe what you want, but this is the most probable prediction.

my wallpaper is from the a-team, currently. but poor john... that moment when sherlock realized he couldn't do it with john, had to do it alone... it was precipitated by this scene. i'm kind of wondering if over time john actually does begin to believe the lie... at least, sherlock thought he could be convinced of it. i feel the plot-bunnies beginning to hop...

oh, blank meme here: [link]
