finally caught up on sherlock

[kaydeefalls]

See, there really ought to be a proper post about the BBC's Sherlock here, now that I've had time to watch the remaining 2/3 of the miniseries. But there's not, because I am now STUCK ON FLAIL and coherence is no longer possible.

THIS IS MY SHERLOCK HOLMES, GUYS.

And, I never thought it, but that's my Moriarty now, too. Definitely nothing like I ever would have envisioned him, but that pseudo-petulant genius schoolboy thing really, really worked for me. And genuinely surprised me.

I'm also stuck on HEY I KNOW THAT GUY for this show, like most BBC productions. The DI from part 2 was the ill-fated Eugene of Torchwood's "Random Shoes", and Joe from part 3 (who accidentally killed his sister's fiancee for the memory stick) was Alton More from Band of Brothers, who stole Hitler's photo album. Heh.

The massive slash quotient for Holmes/Watson continues to be THROUGH THE DAMN ROOF. But this surprises no one. Oh, that pool scene. I kind of expected John to be the last one abducted, but it still worked SO well. And Sherlock losing his shit once Moriarty left and ripping the bomb off John and clearly verging on a fucking nervous breakdown of having almost killed the one non-family person he cares about...um, yes, that pinged me very hard. OH BOYS. (John's quiet little I-need-to-sit-down-and-hyperventilate-for-a-moment-now was very nicely played, too. But we all know how much I love Martin Freeman already, right?)

In conclusion: MORE NOW PLEASE. Please?

Oh my god, I spent that entire pool scene makes noises only dogs could hear. HE FLUNG THE VEST ACROSS THE FLOOR. When Moriarty was talking about burning out Sherlock's heart I was shocked when they didn't pan to John because it was SO OBVIOUS that's what he was talking about. omg. LOVE.

I KNOW RIGHT. SO MUCH FLAIL AND BIG SPARKLY HEARTS, I CAN'T EVEN.

More! Also from BoB? I say this as someone who hasn't seen Sherlock, but Moriarty supposedly is Hall from "Day of Days."

Also also, Ill-Fated Eugene is an excellent name for a band.

I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR. Somehow I missed that when I scanned his imdb page the first time.

You're right, it totally is! Someone should get on that.

i know omg it was amazing - i full on shrieked "they can't leave it there" at the end though. i am desperate for more of the moffat/gatiss goodness that is sherlock.
but what was moriarty's accent? i couldn't place it at all - my mam thought he sounded a bit like lloyd grossman, lol

*EPIC FLAIL*

So I made the mistake of watching the final episode last night after everyone else in the house had gone to bed. The computer I was at is located on the opposite side of the wall as my parents' bed. Good thing I had headphones in and have become, sadly, quite adept at silent the *WTFOMGBBCFLAIL!*

So yeah. I NEED MOAR.

Sadly, I have no appropriate icon for this fandom. Yet.
