Don’t be dead. Would you do that, just for me.
The angst in this fandom is so toxic I might not make it ‘til Season 3. Tanginaaa
Do you know what GAIMAN’S LAW is? John Green does, and he will now tell you, along with his favourite 5 Typos (they’re really good, and I learned something from them).
My favorite author complimenting my other favorite author. Man, I love the internet.

I’m gonna extremely miss Jim Moriarity in the series. :( Andrew Scott just portrayed him so well that he became like my first-ever favorite (does that make sense?) villain so far from all the stuff that I’ve seen.
That is all.
(MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven’t seen Sherlock BBC’s Fall of Reichenbach)
Something that was so out of character for Sherlock to do.
Something that everyone has missed (Well, so far I haven’t read any theories mentioning this).
And the only thing that I could think about was Sherlock’s crying (You could actually see the tears fall while he was talking on the phone with John, plus the catch in his voice). I mean, it was indeed out of character right? Sherlock is not a man who would easily succumb to his emotions or even let his emotions get the better of him. Maybe he was crying so as to give authenticity to his suicide? So that John would only look at him and not see whatever is going on below the building? (If you can’t follow, just read about the “Garbage Truck” theory that the fans seem to think the most plausible)
I’m not making much sense, am I? Sorry. I’ve been obsessed with season two’s finale for the past few days and reading sooooo many possible and even brilliant theories on the internet… it’s just driving me crazy!
Oh well. I guess we would all never know how he faked his death until season 3.
That is all.
*Cult Box counts down its top 10 moments - Sherlock Season Two - agree?*
10. “Are you wearing pants?” (A Scandal in Belgravia)
It’s Sherlock Holmes. Sitting in Buckingham Palace. Completely starkers, but for the privacy of a sheet. ‘Nuff said.
9. “Well, that was tedious…” (The Hounds of Baskerville)
Splattered with blood and wielding a harpoon, Sherlock nonchalantly strides back into 221B Baker Street. That in itself is a hilarious image, but then the absurd humour of the situation is compounded by discovering that he travelled like that on the Tube, because as he states, “None of the cabs would take me.”
8. Moriarty gets a call (A Scandal in Belgravia)
We waited a year and a half to find out how Sherlock could possibly escape the cliffhanger to The Great Game, only to find he’s saved by the Bee Gees.
Well, technically he’s saved by Irene Adler (and in a nice piece of symmetry he returns the favour by saving her with a phone at the end). It wasn’t only a cheeky get-out to an impossible situation, but also an intriguing lead-in to Holmes’ next adventure.
7. Molly and Sherlock (A Scandal in Belgravia)
Sherlock’s pathological need to make deductions about everything leads to him revealing Molly’s crush on him.
Loo Brealey’s performance here is wonderful, as she chokes back the hurt to deliver the heartbreaking line: “You say such horrible things.” And as Sherlock, in a sign of his burgeoning humanity, apologises and kisses her, the tension’s broken with a great piece of comic timing.
6. Moriarty’s crowning glory (The Reichenbach Fall)
To the strains of Rossini’s The Thieving Magpie, Moriarty commits one of the greatest crimes of the century… just to attract Sherlock’s attention.
It’s crafty, grand in scale, and has the typically camp conclusion we’ve come to expect from Andrew Scott’s criminal mastermind as he sits, resplendent, in the Queen’s finest hat.
5. The Mind Palace (The Hounds of Baskerville)
A popular hashtag on Twitter after the episode aired, Sherlock’s ‘mind palace’ was one of the best visual demonstrations as to how the Great Detective’s mind works.
Beautifully choreographed and acted, right down to the little Elvis gesture Cumberbatch does as he thinks of ‘The King’, it’s a seamless blend of effects and performance.
4. Adler’s naked truth (A Scandal in Belgravia)
Sherlock can read your life in the stitching of your clothes, so what happens when you’re not wearing a stitch?
Irene Adler’s naked entrance is a stunning bit of visual irony: baring all in order to hide everything. Part camouflage to evade being read, part attempt to throw Sherlock off his game, it doesn’t just show us how confident she is but also how clever.
3. The Fall (The Reichenbach Fall)
Sherlock and Moriarty meet on the rooftop, and you know it’s not going to end well. And then it ends really not well.
Moriarty performs brain surgery on himself with a gun, Sherlock makes a heartbreaking phone-call to John and then: the fall itself.
It’s shocking, heartbreaking, and as you see Watson being knocked over by a Solitary Cyclist (did you spot that, Holmes fans?), you’ve the inescapable feeling that you’re seeing a carefully staged magic trick.
2. “I don’t have friends!” (The Hounds of Baskerville)
Sherlock’s seen the Hound, he can’t trust his senses, and it’s got him rattled. Really rattled. The result is the character as we’ve never seen him before: emotional.
As he clutches his scotch in a quivering hand and spits out bursts of logic, it’s as unsettling for the audience as it is for Watson. This is a true stand-out moment in Cumberbatch’s already excellent take on the Great Detective.
1. Watson at the grave (The Reichenbach Fall)
You would have to have a heart like Sherlock himself not to be moved by this. Martin Freeman puts in the performance of the series as the bereaved soldier mourning not just a comrade, not just a friend, but “the most human human” he ever knew.
And just as we too get teary eyed, the camera pans round and… we realise just how excruciating the wait until Series 3 is going to be.

It’s really hard to find a planner that fits you well these days so why look if you can make one instead, right? My friend, Sandra, made her own planner and I was simply amazed by it. For me, it even looks like she bought it because the photos that she picked and included went perfectly with each other. Since it’s only originally a diary or some sort, she also made the lines and wrote down the days herself. Totally awesome. ☺
Looooove it. Hahaha.. Thank you! :>
I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.
I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone.
It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.
But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who won’t run away.
