Because holy wow.
(Spoilers, obvs, if you have not yet seen the first ep of season 3).
I thought today would be the perfect day to review this unicorn of a book. It is All Saints' Day—a fitting day to revisit all the crooked ones, no? It is also the first day of November and so, today, . . . well, you know the rest. What I'm saying is, today is kind of the perfect day to do all the Maggie Stiefvater-related things! Which is, of course, why I'll be attending her signing event later this evening at my local indie, key in hand. I know. I win today. I do. What I do not do is take it for granted. My good fortune or this book. This beautiful, beautiful book. But before we get into my reaction, I want to make a brief request. If you haven't yet had a chance to read Maggie's post on how this book came about and what it was originally going to be and what it actually became, I straight up implore you to do so. It is one of my favorite things I've read this year and it is something I needed to read this year. My favorite line? "I discovered that I wa…
This is probably the best season so far. Sooooooo worth the 2 year wait. Exceeded all expectations. Too good. Too good.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I was just so very happy to be back with Sherlock and John.
DeleteIt's so good. Episode 2 is great too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI loved Episode 2! The whole toast was . . . epic.
DeleteYea. Stinks to be her, right? :)
ReplyDeleteHehe
DeleteLOVED Sherlock!!! Season 3 is an amazing one. Every single episode.
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to the 3rd one. Though then . . . the void. *sob*
DeleteThank you so much for this! I can't figure out why more people aren't talking about this particular scene! :) And when I was watching it was so taken back by what was actually happening that I missed all that swagger... the coat flip, the hair ruffle! Oh my! And now I'm totally convinced that Sherlock truly DOES like Molly. He does, he does!
ReplyDeleteRight?! It's all I can think about. Lol.
DeleteThe swagger . . . I die.
I just about died, I turned so green--and oh my good lord, that coat flip...
DeleteThe coat flip . . . sweet mercy.
DeleteI'm officially now a Sherlock lover (and his coat) ;) Watched the first episode of Season 3 and fell hard.
ReplyDeleteHis coat is its own character and deserving of all the love. ;)
DeleteLoved this scene! Although I think I liked Moriarty and Sherlock even better. This was a great episode as were episodes 2 and 3. It's hard to decide which I like best. I think episode 2 probably but episode 3 also has some incredible scenes.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. The Moriarty/Sherlock one was brilliant. I'm kind of saving Episode 3. Hate when it's over.
DeleteWhile I did not love the S3 first episode as much as I had expected, I was amazed by some scenes, this being one :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one is hard to be indifferent to. ;)
DeleteHands down, my favorite part of that episode.
ReplyDeleteUm, yes. I mean, the Sherlock/Moriarty kiss was second. But not exactly a close second . . . ;)
DeleteThanks, Angie, for posting this. Definitely my fav scene from the first episode. Am also convinced that Sherlock does love Molly, and love the way Suey summarized the allure of this scene: swagger, indeed. Quite the heart throb! (I could just replay this over and over...)
ReplyDeleteI know! I know . . .
DeleteYaa..still haven't watched this but...*gulp* I..I must. Immediately. *stares at screen*
ReplyDeleteThanks for this...HAPPY FRIDAY TO ME!
Immediately. Off with you now!
DeleteOkay. So it's totally normal to have watched this, pressed the rewind button and re-watched it again for, I don't know, about a hundred times already right? I mean it's not just me right? (please tell me it's not just me..) ^___^
ReplyDeleteLoved everything about this scene... from the way he released that buckle and then fixes his coat, and oh my gosh, the hair shake... and THAT KISS. *Dies a happy fangirl*
Totally and completely utterly normal. Not just you.
DeleteEvery detail is . . . I mean, come on. It's exquisite!
