HOLY SHIT.

I MEAN REALLY, HOLY SHIT.

There is no way I can list all of the things I love about this show, but here's a big one: THEY PUT IN ALL THE GOOD BITS FROM CANON. Bored Holmes shooting up the apartment (BEST RESPONSE TO 'THERE'S NOTHING ON' EVER), Moriarty's Irishness, Holmes doing disguises, THE BAKER STREET IRREGULARS LUV LUV LUV, Watson's abortive horror at Holmes' strange experiments, and above all:

THEY DID "IT WAS WORTH A WOUND." Or, you know, being strapped into an explosive vest. OH MY GOD, THAT WHOLE BIT. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR PALE WORRIED FACE SO MUCH. MARTIN FREEMAN IS MY WATSON NOW.

Alright, coherency can wait. I'm going to go roll around like a dog in all the new fic, and work on retooling something I started before the last episode aired.

Moriarty was Irish?? Haha ahhh I'm such a failface!!! As I watched him I thought he had a weird accent, but I was like: OH I BET HE'S NOT REALLY BRITISH AND HE'S PRETENDING TO BE THAT'S WHY HE SOUNDS LIKE THAT OR SOMETHING 8-D ...like Colin Morgan.
