bbc sherlock

Katherine and I hope all of our lovely readers have had a wonderful holiday thus far and a very Merry Christmas. The lovely folks at the BBC have given us Sherlockians a Christmas gift as well, in the form of a mini-episode called “Many Happy Returns” that serves as a small prequel to Season 3, set to air this coming January. I HAVE CHILLS. Enjoy, lovelies.

bbc sherlock, I mustache you some questions

Greetings, dear ones!

As you might have noticed, the Vicky A’s went AWOL last week. Work, life, and other matters intruded and quite frankly, we lost a week. Where did it GO?? Did it get lost in the Twilight Zone? The 7th dimension? The Alt-verse? Never fear! We’re here and will be back to your regularly scheduled history and nonsense. Until then, for those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s the trailer for Sherlock Season 3.

Thoughts? Expectations? Mustaches? (No, really: what is that thing on Watson’s face? It needs to be cataloged.)

Happy Sherlock Day!!

“The air of London is sweeter for my presence.” ~Holmes, The Final Problem

Back in May, I found myself glued to my TV for the season finale of BBC’s magnificent modernization of Sherlock Holmes. My fellow Vicky A and I texted frantically back and forth during “The Reichenbach Fall”, the ‘buzz-uzz’ of which occasionally sent me flying off the couch in surprise as it interrupted my enrapt attention to the drama proceeding across my screen. We bounced from scene to scene, notes flying about regarding this bit of minutiae or that bit of genius plot. I remember sitting on the couch towards the very end of the episode, blubbering to my husband that “OMG he HAS to be watching from afar, he HAS to be watching from afar BAWWWWWWWWWW THERE HE IS” and then shamelessly dissolving into ugly sobs. I know I wasn’t the only one: previews of this finale described it as “utterly heartbreaking”. Why does Holmes still affect us so deeply to this day? Why does Holmes matter? Continue reading →
