Any more entries?      Though a difficult task,  winner to be chosen tomorrow.....

Sorry,  I had to do it!      Have fun with this one this week.    What the heck is going on here.

Kitty:      "Don't you guys have somewhere better to be?"

John:     "No,  not until Series 4, Episode 1."

changes lots,  but here are my favorites today:

1.  Study in Pink
2.  Scandal in Belgravia
3.  Reichenbach Fall
4.  His Last Vow
5.  Hounds of Baskerville
6.  Great Game
7.  Empty Hearse
8.  Blind Banker
9.  Sign of Three

Ah,  thanks HL0000 for the link to John's blog about the elephant in the room!    Great to hear it's real. 

And sadly, no,  I don't think we'll never hear a definitive explanation about his survival of the fall.  We
may get further small tidbits of details over the years.    Maybe even some cryptic future blog entries.

It's certainly fine to keep wondering,  but it seems now there's just so much more to wonder about.
Lucky and frustrating for us!!

 

Guard:    Oh look.   Actor boy is late again,  as usual.

Understandable to be disappointed.     It took me over a year to
watch THB a 2nd time,  to even begin to think it deserved
to be in the same series as the other episodes..     my thoughts:

I mean, chances are I probably will watch it a few times but there was just so much about it I wasn't keen on.

1. Weak case storyline

so what else is new.

2. Too many moments played for comedic effect

after that long wait?   I felt it was just the right amount,
for a first episode.    Though I hope it doesn't continue at that pace.

3. Too many fandom references

just enough for me,  and clever.  Though I hope it doesn't continue at that pace.

4. Bad editing/scene placement

loved the editing in the opening sequence.   and the end.   But
it did suffer from not as brilliant direction we were used to.

5. Lack of decent explanation of TRF in favour of ambuiguity

that's true!    Though I don't really mind.    The canon didn't dwell
on details of the improbable escape either.   I can see where they'd  just rather move the story on.

that's just awful, Mary.   are you okay?    Shame on those guys.    shame on the parents who raised them.   shame on those who stood by and did nothing.    There is really much better out there in the world.   Glad to have found a small corner of it here.   Take good care,   cherish your friends.   Hugs.
