Sherrinford Holmes - Who is he?

As I write this, I have not seen the episode. However, this is a scheduled post and will probably be posted after I see S4 Ep3. It is currently 6pm on the East Coast of the lovely US of A. It is Sunday, Jan 15 and I will not watch the episode until either tomorrow morning, if it's on the Masterpiece website by then OR tomorrow night. So I know nothing, yet.

However, since season 3 ended, I have done a little research here and there about the third Holmes brother.

2 of 4(maybe) Holmes kids
Sherrinford Holmes. Apparently he is the eldest, according to he information I have gathered. Which is great because as much as I love Mycroft, it's good to know that there is someone else carrying the Holmes family on their shoulders, besides their parents of course!

I didn't do TOO MUCH research on Sherrinford to keep some mystery to him. And at first, I really supported the idea of Tom Hiddleston being the third Holmes brother, however, after learning that Sherrinford is the meant to be the eldest, I changed my mind quite a bit.

When Mycroft is on the phone and asks to be put through to Sherrinford, I don't know why, but I had the feeling he was calling a prison. Meaning the eldest Holmes might be psychotic.

I do not think that Eurus is Sherrinford, simply because Sherlock made a fuss last episode about people always stopping at three.

In a perfect world, I personally would cast Mark Strong as Sherrinford, because he's a magnificent actor and I feel like he'd blow us all away.
For all I know, I could be wrong and Sherrinford could be Eurus' first name, Like Sherlock is really William


So there you go. And fun fact that most people already know, Strong portrayed a villain in Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock films.

I bid everyone a good night and hope the episode is amazing. I shall watch it when I can tomorrow. Whenever, I watch it, I will come back to scream about it. Just letting you guys know that.

I hope the episode is good!

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...
