The LJ post cometh before the Fall

tardis_stowaway-"The Reichenbach Fall" is tomorrow. In preparation, I reread "The Final Problem" earlier today. So glad I didn't experience this in real time with the Victorian fandom. Even knowing that "The Empty House" will reunite them, Watson's grief at Holmes's death still has my emotions in a twist. I'm even more emotionally invested in the BBC versions of these characters, so I suspect tomorrow is going to require ALL THE SHOCK BLANKETS.

On the subject of Reichenbach, I have decided that the theme song for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is Florence + the Machine's "What the Water Gave Me." When Holmes and Watson lock eyes right before Holmes pulls Moriarty over the edge, the moment screams to be on a fanvid to oh my love don't forget me / when I let the water take me. Really, Florence + the Machine is appropriate for all occasions.
-I have a Tumblr now. Unsurprisingly, I'm tardis-stowaway. I'm not planning on taking too much of my activity over there, since I find the platform not very conducive to social interaction. Also, it favors graphics-based fandom, which is not an area where I can really contribute anything more than reblogs. Still, I like looking at the pretty pictures (and enjoying the crackiness of Sherlock fandom over there), so I figured it made sense to get myself an account rather than just visiting the individual pages of people who post interesting stuff. If anyone on my flist has a tumblr and/or can suggest interesting tumblrs to follow, let me know! Also, I have noticed to my chagrin that people tend to post spoilers without any form of cuts over there. I understand there is something called Tumblr Savior that helps you block posts tagged as spoilers, but I don't know how this works or where to turn it on. Help me, Obi Wan Flist.
-Most of this illustrated review of War Horse could have been written from inside my brain. (contains spoilers)

Date: 2012-01-16 05:56 pm (UTC)Ooooh yes, they do. I installed Tumblr saviour but it only works if people actually tag their posts so... I am so conflicted. I love the place and I don't mind Supernatural spoilers. But then the people I follow suddenly start posting giant spoilers for the Sherlock season finale and they don't tag them so they show up on my dashboard......... :(
