Scattered Strawberry Summer

Happy New Year everyone!

I met 2014 in Lisbon at Praça do Comércio with my SO, but about that I'll tell you in my next post.
My year has already peaked with the long awaited (two years, it;s been two years!) Sherlock series 3. Quality of the site we were watching it on was rubbish and it stopped a few times but thankfully we didn't miss the most important bits.

SPOILERS AHEAD
















                                                                                                                                                                   So. Mark Gatiss is a funny man isn't he. Having a go at all the fans and their theories. I loved the first solution, I realised it was fake at this exact moment:




What a scene, what a scene.

It was probably the funniest episode so far and I enjoyed every minute of it. Sherlock is a lot more..humane.. he's making jokes and laughing from John's mustache, not something you'd hear from Sherlock in series 1, he has grown a lot but he still struggles to understand human nature.

A lot of people complaining about the fan service in this episode, but did people forget that A.C. Doyle resurrected Sherlock Holmes because of fan protests in the first place? You could  also say the whole series is a fan fiction, both Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat are huge fans of Sherlock Holmes just writing a very very good fanfiction. And I don't see anything wrong with that.


I'm not entirely sure the last solution is actually real and if we'll ever find out how he faked his death but the man thing is Sherlock is back!

The latest trailer of Sherlock: Series 3. I'm soo excited and I cannot wait. Too bad I'm not in the country on 1st January and might not see the new episode till Jan 3rd, but hey I waited for two years, I can wait a bit longer.

What an episode last night. I knew it was going to be very heavy and emotional episode. But I still felt like this


 I really enjoyed even though it was very sad. His "note" was so emotional. I find it hard to watch it.


  I can't believe  we will have to wait for another series for a year.
I watched Scandal in Belgravia at least 5 times and many times rewatched my favourite scenes. But soon the videos will expire, so I  got first series DVD, only £4.99 (free postage, from amazon). yay.





SH: I may be on the side of the angels but don’t for a second think that makes me one of them

Some quotes from the first episode:


Sherlock: Brilliant! Yes! Ah, four serial suicides and now a note. Oh, it's Christmas. 


Sherlock: Possible suicides. Four of them. There's no point sitting at home when there's finally something fun going on.
Mrs. Hudson: Look at you, all happy. It's not decent.
Sherlock: Who cares about decent? The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on! 


Sherlock: Dear God, what is it like in your tiny little brains? It must be so boring




Watson: I just met a friend of yours.
Sherlock: A friend?
Watson: An enemy.
Sherlock: Oh. Which one?
Watson: Your archenemy, according to him. Do people have archenemies?
Sherlock: Did he offer you money to spy on me?
Watson: Yes.
Sherlock: Did you take it?
Watson: No.
Sherlock: Pity, we could have split the fee. Think it through next time.




Sgt. Sally Donovan: Are these human eyes?
Sherlock: Put them back!
Sgt. Sally Donovan: They were in the microwave.
Sherlock: It's an experiment.


Sherlock: Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street. 


Watson: You were going to take that damn pill, weren't you?
Sherlock: Of course I wasn't. Biding my time. Knew you'd turn up.
Watson: No you didn't. That's how you get your kicks, isn't it? You risk your life to prove you're clever.
Sherlock: Why would I do that?
Watson: Because you're an idiot. 


Of course, it's not that funny taken out of context, so better watch it if you haven't already
