Sherlock concludes
Edited like 15 times because rewatching did things to me.
I honestly don't know how to express my feelings. It feels kinda weird, seeing how the whole fandom just exploded and everybody's crying and has all these feelings. I don't know, maybe I'm really a heartless person (Jim from IT, HI), but I didn't really have moments like OHMYGODDON'TDOTHISTOME or what's gonna happen now???????. I just think that all the fuss made by the crew and cast (which obviously did its work) was a bit too much for what actually happened there. It raised my expectations to the point where I was totally convinced they were going to do some mind blowing twists in the plot, while practically everything went the way it should have, or at least the way I expected it to go. Actually, screw that. After watching it for the second time, when I knew what to expect, it actually worked, worked like hell, and I'm FINALLY having difficulties with watching the sad gifs everywhere. They did a brilliant job with taking the original story and making it onto the screen, there's no denying and no disappointment there. It was perfect and awfully moving. I'd like to point just a few things that NEED pointing out:
* Jim. If I was to point a moment that, how to put it, shocked me in any way, that would be Jim's death. I had a tiny pinch of hope that maybe they would say screw canon when it came to him, bo unfortunately no. But at least he got the time and attention he deserved, I mean, come on, the scene with the crown jewels? JIM IS OUR KING. My bleeding heart misses you already.
* Molly fuckin' Hooper. Haters, go to the bloody hell, she's the best female character this show has.
* John, but that's obvious, isn't it? Believing in Sherlock, till the very end. Also, believing he might actually be able to not be dead. Heartbreaking from the very beginning till the very end. All the Baftas in the world to Martin for this episode. The scene when Sherlock finally reveals to him that he's alive, I know it's gonna be brilliant, no matter how John reacts.
* the Sherlock/John relationship which was perfect in every last bit. All the trust and believing in each other, the running (<3333), all those moments that were so them, and my God, the rooftop scene. Titanic can go and hide forever under the sea.
* Sherlock the Batman. Or, as I should rather say, bloody Benedict Cumberbatch. EVERYTHING he did there was magic, he IS Sherlock Holmes in every movement and word, in every second and scene. No one's beating his Sherlock for me.
I'm really disappointed with Mycroft, though. He was just, I don't know, completely out of character. Screw the fact he gave Jim all those informations (btw, seriously, a line of code? SERIOUSLY?), it's the way he acted after that, like he just gave up on everything. I don't like that, it's not the Mycroft I grew to love.
When I think of it, I'm thankful they didn't leave us with a cliffhanger like the one from season 1.
On to the series 3 then. By the way, we all knew they were trolling us about that too, didn't we?
