We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled THG Meta Post To Bring You Holmes Brothers Feels

[penfold_x]

lorataprose held my hand yesterday while I cautiously watched the Sherlock Christmas special. As you may remember, I utterly loathed the finale of season three, so I was hesitant to watch, lest more of what I loved about the show go up in flames. Fortunately, while there were a few things I didn't enjoy, they were overwhelmed by the surfeit of Holmes brothers feels. And thank goodness I'm not alone in this reaction:

I liked the Christmas special overall, but some of it was UGH-worthy. I am disappointed that I will apparently be waiting until 2017 for both Doctor Who and Sherlock. (I also hated the season 3 finale)

I did wish that they didn't try to make this plot-relevant to the overall arc? I felt like that was a bit odd and jolting? I think I would have preferred that the whole thing remain a kind of charming AU of the 'real' world.

Oy, I like that the Brits take their time and get things right rather than just throwing out 22 episodes of schlock, but this is a *lot* of waiting to ask for.

I think it is mostly because many of the parties are successful and busy. I appreciate that they have stuck with their old projects, even though with less time. The British actors seem to work far more projects. I am amazed to see the same people showing up again and again.
