AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sherlock mini episode!!!

Okay, I'm going to try to use sentences.

This is marvelous.  Anderson is a true believer who thinks that Sherlock is still alive!  And he is wearing a Watson jumper and grew a grief-beard!  Unexpected and brilliant choice.

I'm glad for the confirmation that Lestrade is still trying to keep up a friendship with John.  Also, John has apparently selected his new flat because it, like 221B, has eye-catching wallpaper.

I can recognize Benedict Cumberbatch's hands even when that's all of him we can see.  They are very good hands.

Given this show's track record with Orientalism, I'm not sure having Sherlock posing as a monk in Tibet was a good idea. Even if travel to Tibet is something that Holmes did in canon, it felt perhaps a bit much "Exotic East."

I was laughing and happily cheering for much of it, then Lestrade gave John the video and suddenly it was ASSAULT BY FEELINGS.  Oh dear.  I am overwhelmed by seven minutes; what is an entire episode going to do to me?

"Yes, this jury was convened under unusual circumstances, in that it is the first and only one ever! So who cares who you people are, might as well pick ones who don't speak the language and hence couldn't follow the trial!" *giggles*
