Sherlock, Season 4 Episode 2: The Lying Detective - Reaction (SPOILERS)

I apologize for getting back so late! It's a week late, but things came up. And by things, I mean I fell in love with the 2016(-17) revival of the musical, Falsettos and have been listening to it religiously. And I will be writing a post about the musical soon, because it's really good.

I won't be posting many photos in this post as this is a bit of a rushed one today, sorry! I'm not going to be recapping today, I'll just be reacting, mostly to the ending. So...
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS, CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Toby Jones and Benedict as Smith and Sherlock
So we got to meet Toby Jones' character finally! He played a business man named Culverton Smith. I was glad, because as I expressed in the last post, Toby Jones is one of my favorite British actors.

Smith is a serial killer and Sherlock tries to attack him, but is stopped by John. John pretty much kicks the crap out of Sherlock and then blames him for Mary's death. But it's nothing we weren't expecting. And while this is happening, Sherlock is high as a kite and can barely function normally.

While Sherlock is recovering in Smith's hospital, Smith tries to kill him, but is then stopped by John. John is the hero in this episode. So John and Sherlock are friends again, like I was expecting.

Let's not forget that John is talking to his dead wife. Yes. Amanda Abbington is in the episode. She is dead now, but she's kind of like John's conscious. She tells John to tell his NEW therapist that he's seeing her, but he doesn't.

While in the Baker Street flat, John admits to Mary (in his head) that he cheated on her. Then he breaks down and Sherlock hugs him. Yes. Johnlock is happening. I know it is. We've waited for far too long.

Then at the end of the episode, John is kidnapped by his new therapist who is revealed to be Sherlock and Mycroft's sister, Eurus. I do not think that she is Sherrinford, because in the episode, Sherlock did say that he didn't know why people stopped counting at three. So I'm hoping that Sherrinford makes an appearance in tonight's episode. Yes. I was screaming about it.

I. WAS. NOT. READY.

I won't be able to watch it until tomorrow, unless they put it on Masterpiece as soon as it's over. So I probably won't be on any social media sites until I've seen it.

But can we discuss how Mrs. Hudson is a badass? She has a really nice sports car and she threw drugged up Sherlock into her trunk!

The only thing I'm kind of upset about is in the promo for S4, they made it seem like Smith was going to be the main villain. But he wasn't.

Also, since tonight's episode is called the Final Problem, does that mean that's it for Sherlock? Because I believe, I'm not sure, but I think the Final Problem was the last Sherlock story Doyle, wrote, right?

And Louise Brealey, who plays Molly said on Twitter:

"Just in case we don't make anymore."

If Sherlock ends tonight, I don't know what I'll do. I mean they torture us enough with two years between seasons and only three episodes per season.

FIGHT ME, MOFFTISS!!!

Let's pray that it doesn't end tonight, but if it does, I am glad that this was one of four shows I ever anticipated the next episode for. (The other's were Glee, Wedding Band, and Shadowhunters. I don't want much TV. Most of everything I watch is on Netflix.)

So let's do this guys! Episode 3 tonight. We got this!

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'...

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...
