Sherlock: The Lying Detective

I've had two nightmares about serial killers this week. Don't think it's really related. But mainly I'm wondering, was that bit about the orangutan betwixt Sherlock and Watson a reference to Poe's detective (and Sherlock's predecessor), C. Auguste Dupin, and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue'? 

Sherlock: The Empty Hearse

There isn't anything about this series I don't enjoy. You know, besides the two-year gaps between them.

And isn't Mary just brilliant! That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we mean by a 'strong' woman.

Sherlock: A Study in Pink

I've seen this a few times now: when it first showed for the second time; my recording of the second first time, twice; with my sister; with my parents.

Not bad considering it’s my last year of uni.


Fantastic!
Do you know you do that out loud?

The Vesuvius Club, chapter XI

I must find duller books for my bedtime reading. This is another I picked up to go through chapterly. That was yesterday; I'm now over halfway through.

Lucifer Box has such a distinct voice (it's in first person), though he does remind me a lot of the also fantastic Flashman.

Sherlock: The Great Game

"Fantastic!"
"Meretricious."
"And a happy new year."

A little late with this—I didn't have TV access in August. Was some apprehension due to other ‘modernisations’ of things that did not ever really work.

This does. It's fantastic.
