Because holy wow.
(Spoilers, obvs, if you have not yet seen the first ep of season 3).
It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
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!
