BRB, Sherlocking

foolish_m0rtalI spend 90 minutes watching Sherlock and hours fangirling about it and obsessively going on Tumblr/Facebook. Not healthy, but I can't resist. God, it's like crack. I kind of wish Sherlock had a new episode every month instead of every week, because
a) I need time to calm down and process
b) what am I going to do for the rest of the year?
I don't think I can handle having a new Sherlock every week. I really can't. I want to slow down and save it for later on in the year, but I can't. And now I have 8 notifications in a few seconds on FB because we have a UVa Sherlockians group, and we might be getting together to watch Sherlock on grounds next week. That would be amazing, because it's really lonely/pathetic fangirling by yourself.
I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atomic_goo up in New York, and we freaked out for a while, but she has to go to work tomorrow, so she had to go to sleep. God, we are going to just be a puddle of rioting emotions next week. Oh my god.
I'm not going into too much detail, since I've been making (belated) Christmas puddings today, and I'm tired and don't feel like doing a blow-by-blow of the episode. On the whole, I actually thought this episode was one of the weakest, because it seemed to be trying to fit itself to the book instead of being an adaptation, more natural and graceful. It seemed like they just took the original and applied changes to it at intervals to 'update' it. Perhaps I feel this way because I'm more familiar with this season's (series's) stories than last series.
On the other hand, I loved how Sherlock, John, and their little family are adapting ('evolving' is what Sherlockology called it, and I like that term) and keep being themselves while affecting each other in little ways. LOVED the entire town shipping them, while Sherlock and John are just like, "THIS TOWN WHAT IS IT." Loved Russell Tovey (and his first class screaming! Oh, George...). While the ending made me wonder (Why is Moriarty in a padded room? Or is it an interrogation room? Is that Mycroft's reflection in the glass? Why on earth would he let Moriarty go, and how did he capture him in the first place?), it will be resolved in the next episode, I'm sure.
