    Summary

    “I would not have John unhappy,” Mary says in the same slow, even tone she uses for the Forrester children when they fail to grasp a snippet of French vocabulary or a fact from history. “Taking him from you would make him unhappy even if he has not realised it himself.” She glances at Holmes to find him staring at her intently again. She holds his gaze. “He loves you, Mr Holmes.”

    Holmes neither speaks not shifts his gaze from her eyes.

    “I mean, he is in love with you, Mr Holmes.”

    That clarification makes him blink at last. He gets up and walks to the window and looks out over Baker Street.

    “No.” He glances back at her. “You don’t know what you’re saying.”

    Summary

    A comic mini-series, where I explore Sherlock Holmes' relationship with Victor Trevor because I deeply believe Victor to be a great part of who Sherlock becomes when we get to know him. Also, once in a blue moon, I decided to go for something both serious and not angsty!

    Summary

    This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.

     

    All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

    Summary

    It’s 1870, September, and John Watson has earned a scholarship place at a boarding school just outside of London. He has just a few months to get his education up to the standard he needs to pass the matriculation exams for medical school. As luck would have it, he’s paired with a boy called Holmes who is just as lonely as he is.
    Together, they negotiate a harsh school life, solve a spate of petty thefts and, in so doing, uncover a much bigger crime involving extortion, embezzlement and blackmail.
    And all this whilst falling in love.

    Summary

    Jim Kirk is a small-town smartass from Iowa trying to find some purpose in life by roadtripping across America. Along the way he picks up a soft-spoken boy from Boston with a complicated relationship with his parents- not to mention a talent with a chessboard- and a good ol’ country doctor from Georgia, still bitter about losing the custody battle.

    They bump into some others along the way. The beautiful singing voice in the motel room next to theirs belongs to an adventurous hitchhiker with several languages under her belt. The night shift mechanic who tows the remains of Jim’s first car comes along for the ride. His roommate would rather put his skills to the test driving cross-country than delivering pizzas. And the Russian whiz kid they pick up in Colorado is the only one who can read the goddamn maps.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    For when you feel very old or incredibly young. When you want to feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. When you want to get lost in some Fernweh. When you want some reassurance that everything is going to be fine in the end and if it is not fine it is not the end. When you need to remember that no one knows how things'll be and that that's FINE.
