oh and the movie was pretty good, too!

So, I watched Sherlock. And now I have ~feelings apparently.

• I had problems with the first episode, but honestly I've seen them discussed all over the place and I'd hate to just repeat what everyone else has said. I'll just say that my main quibble, among many, lies in the fact that Irene did not beat Sherlock at the end. You frustrate me, Moffat.

• I love John. So much. He remains my favourite forever and I'm glad he seemed to do more than he did last series.

• Okay, weird thing to be annoyed about but there are Too. Many. Guns. Owning a gun in the UK is very rare; you need a pretty good reason to have one. And the second episode: even the police don't have guns so Lastrade wouldn't have gotten one from Scotland Yard, but okay, fine, I can buy that maybe Mycroft got him one. And okay, John owns one, fine, we knew that already. But where the hell did Henry get his gun from? And in the third episode, a policeman was carrying one? I find that hard to believe. idk, odd quibble to have maybe but it just annoyed me a bit when owning a gun here is so rare.

• Why did Sherlock need to drug John in the second episode....? There wasn't really any need for it, he could have figured out if the sugar was the cause by himself simply enough. Did he just want to scare John like he'd be scared? Because that's pretty dark.

• I enjoyed the third episode a lot! (Which might be because I went in expecting it to be terrible since it was penned by the same guy who wrote The Blind Banker, tbh.) Probably more than the other two, even. Although the second one was pretty good, too.

• Not that much really surprised me in the third ep (I never really thought Sherlock was dead, this is Sherlock Holmes and Moffat after all) but when Moriarty shot himself I admit I was genuinely shocked. Did not expect that at all.

• Speaking of Moriarty, I quite liked how Andrew Scott played him. Which looking around the internet, I think is an unpopular opinion, but *shrug* It's different, and I think he plays it really well.

• Okay, I knew Sherlock wasn't dead, I never doubted that, but honestly the end tore me up, regardless. I think it was watching Martin Freeman, knowing that he'd go on however long believing his best friend to be dead. D: Man there are some good actors on this show.

But yeah, anyway. It's better than Doctor Who most of the time, at least, imo.

Speaking of, I also watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Like.... at Christmas, which feels like forever ago now. I don't really have many thoughts on it, tbh? I mean, it was okay I guess.

...lol at me writing paragraphs about Sherlock and a whole four sentences for Doctor Who. How odd.
