Sherlock!!

I've been so lazy. I should've made this post on Sunday or even Monday, but I couldn't be bothered. In India, there was a lot I could've posted about but I was too lazy. Need to get my motivation up!

Anyway, I wanted to talk about Sherlock series 3. If you haven't watched it, I advise you not to read this post. Go watch all the episodes, then come back and read this! There are only 9 episodes, though each lasts an hour and a half...
But honestly, it is such a brilliant series! It's not worth spoiling! It's so clever, beautifully filmed, acted terrifically and there's just so much suspense and humour. It's BBC's best TV series.

From this point on there will be spoilers:
---

I'm just going to list things (like I did with Catching Fire) because when I have a lot to say, putting it into coherent sentences is a lot of effort. It makes things longer and I risk forgetting stuff.

Episode 1
- I love the different theories. The first one seemed realistic whereas the second one, with Sherlock and Moriarty on the roof, was just hilarious! Derren Brown was in this episode!!
- Love how Sherlock announced his presence to John
- John's moustache!
- The main thing about this episode is that we don't know whether the theory that Sherlock told the newspaper man was true or not... Was the newspaper man hallucinating?...
- Lot of suspense in the train carriage scene

Episode 2
- Very clever murder technique!
- Dean Thomas from Harry Potter!!!!!!
- I guessed it was the camera man!
- Sherlock's speech was touching at times and other times so funny, in his own sense of humour
- Love Sherlock's mind palace

Episode 3
Now this was the best episode! The last episodes of each series are always the best but this exceeded them all!
- Wiggins; he's got Sherlock smarts!
- I think we all felt the John's awkwardness at Sherlock's 'girlfriend'
- Mary's twist!
- Molly slapping Sherlock, such character development there!
- When Sherlock got shot, I loved seeing his mind palace! Especially when the other characters were helping him stay alive
- Moriarty in his mind palace!! So good to see Moriarty! My favourite villain. The actor is so good at portraying him. Loved his song 'It's raining, it's pouring. Sherlock is boring' (that made me laugh at the childishness) 'I'm laughing, I'm crying. Sherlock is dying'. Moriarty's makeup and the set up was very effective.
- Magnussen's glasses seem brilliant, then when you realise it's all in his head, he's not reading anything, you realise he's a genius like Sherlock.
- Seeing Sherlock as a child and his relationship develop with Mycroft was nice. It's funny seeing his parents too.
- Felt like whooping when Sherlock claimed he wasn't a hero but a 'high-functioning sociopath' before shooting Magnussen. It's sweet how he did it so his best friend can have a good life.
- I realised Sherlock was going into exile and the goodbye was sad but he cracked some jokes. I thought this might be the end of Sherlock forever and I was sad. But when they got his plane turned back around, I started laughing. Found out that series 4 and 5 have been plotted.
- Moriarty's image saying Miss Me? was so funny. It was glitchy and tacky looking which I think was done on purpose. And the voice of it! It was like a slightly spastic gif.
- In regards to Moriarty, one of my friends was like 'oh no, he's back!'. Then I'm here like 'oh yes!' and cheering. I love Moriarty! He is completely evil, manipulative and a murderer but I love his character and the actor plays him so well. His voice makes it all the more effective. I'm so glad he's back!
