My not very coherent reaction post to Sherlock - The Reichenbach Fall:

l;lasdjfl;akdslfjalsdfj.OH JOHN. OH SILLY SHERLOCK. ;LJDFSLJASF.

Is it series 3 tiem nao?

More tomorrow, probably, because now I have to go to bed to be up by 6. But, you know. ajdflasjdf.

( Sherlock - The Reichenbach Fall. Spoilers: I cried. ) It was just beautiful, don't know what else to say. That I loved it, perhaps.


And then I went to the cinema today! And Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows was as gay and delightful as advertised!

( spoilers! )

It was slightly strange to see the movie and Sunday's finale pretty much back to back, especially as they did the same story, but while the movie had the most impressive visuals and photography (and actual FALLS), the BBC Sherlock was the obvious winner in quality writing this year. but there's something to be said for the Victorian setting - it feels more Holmsian in a way, although at the same time both adaptations by now are grounded in their own personal universes, almost not depending on book canon.

And anyway, in the end, book!Holmes lies somewhere between these two Sherlocks - not as manic and insane and attention-craving as the movie version, while not as reserved and dettached and almost non-human as in the series. Holmes wasn't as roguish and wild, but he still had that society-demanded 'gentleman of the British empire' veneer that kept him from being absolutely atrocious to people, lol.
