Sherlock 103

Man, that was good! And I hope that they make more movies soon, otherwise I'll be pretty pissed, really!

I loved all the personal stuff about Sherlock and John, like when Sherlock disappointed John or when Sherlock got angry about the stuff John wrote about him in his blog or - and that was the best - the last scene: Sherlock was so scared for John, the way he ripped off the bomb! And I also love that they now communicate with just a glance, they just look at each other and they understand each other!

Also, what a cliffie!

BTW, the DVD box set is out on Aug. 31st for just £12.99!

*FLAILS!* I can't believe they ended it there!

But, yes, Sherlock and John are amazing together, especially that last scene. I gotta say that I really, really like their interpretation of the characters and the way they interact.

Although I totally called Jim as being Moriarty but only because I know Moriarty's first name is James. Still awesome. And obviously crushing hard on Sherlock.

But approximately $25 for three episodes, even long ones? Hm.

I loved it when Sherlock looked at John and John nodded at him and then Sherlock turned around and pointed at the bomb! They understand each other so well!

I haven't read any SH books so I don't know anything about Moriarty. I was completely surprised!

And the price is 390CZK which is less than I would pay for the Sherlock Holmes feature movie here, so it's okay with me

Oh, you should at least check out at least some of the Holmes canon. If you can't get through the stories/novels, I don't blame you because, if Doyle didn't even like his own creations, why should you? If not, I highly recommend Granada's Jeremy Brett version, which is awesome. Sherlock is actually even more awesome when you know some of the canon. The fact that Moffat managed to explain Watson's floating injury (he starts out with a shoulder injury, and then it's suddenly a leg wound because, again, Doyle didn't give a crap) is the most superb thing in the world because no one else bothers; mainly, everyone assumes leg wound. Plus! You can squee at lines like "I'd be lost without my blogger," which is a take on "I'd be lost without my Boswell." There are about a million canon references, generally in the first and third episodes.

Omg, that look! I love their progression into each other's planes of existence, how they're now on each other's wavelengths. So awesome!

I have several of the SH books at home, some by Doyle, some by his followers - just NO time to read them *whimper*
