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!

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
