Arrrgh, I'm late! OH WELL I'M GOING TO FLAIL AROUND HERE ANYWAY.

As I was watching, I started getting this thing where I had to jump up and flip excitedly through my books every few seconds until I found every single reference. And. Just. THE LAST SCENE. I WAS LIKE, FROZEN, FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES. HOMYGOD, REICHENBACH FALLS WAS A SWIMMING POOL, WHUT?

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Uh, so, I win the slow-child award on the Reichenbach Falls front. I totally didn't get that, despite catching very nearly every other reference, including the really strange ones like Holmes shooting up the wall, due to the fact that I had the entire SH canon memorized when I was nine. (I'm thinking about writing up a references post.)

Also, THAT SCENE. When it was over, I think I had a moment where I was like, "I just listened to a villain monologue for ten minutes. And I was okay with that! BEST SHOW EVER."

In the category of "things that should exist that I'm too lazy to do myself"... a references post! I think you should.
