You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My primary objection to Sherlock is that it takes time away from producing Doctor Who. And Moriarty. But mostly the Doctor Who thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Apparently Freeman and Abbington broke up shortly before filming. She said it was a bit difficult dealing with all the "new parent" stuff, as it reminded them both of the early days of their relationship, but the break-up is amicable and that she'd work with Martin again.

I am hoping the Watson flirtation is a plot-driver in the rest of the season, or it was just a waste.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think Mary's death and her challenge to Sherlock will be the plot-driver for the rest of the season. John's flirtation was so out of character, I couldn't buy it. I mean, that character is all about loyalty to the extreme, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, I thought the whole flirtation thing was ridiculous. Plus, it was almost the only thing Watson got to do in the whole episode. The only thing that actually seemed like John was the balloon head.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Did love the balloon head.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Looking for a like button.

I'll be more than happy for Moffat to let someone else shoulder the Doctor Who burden and concentrate his showruiningrunning efforts on Sherlock.

Chris Chibnall is of course slated to take over Doctor Who after next season. I'm somewhat nervous about that, he's never actually written a top-notch Doctor Who adventure (pretty much every Moffat effort during the Davies years gets top-rated).

I'm not a huge fan of Steven Moffat's work over the Eleventh Doctor's tenure (taken overall; there were still some nifty highlights), but the Twelfth Doctor seasons have been a revelation.
