Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think I'm a little jealous.

There are total perks to my knowing that the 'verse exists but really having no idea beyond that.

I'm debating whether you have to throw a bit of Mycroft in there

More Mycroft. Mmmmm, Mycroft. I totally bought him as "omg, this is the evil mastermind who is against Sherlock" at the very beginning of his introduction scene. And, as much as I was initially misdirected, that scene still is perfect on rewatch when I know what is going on. With new little things to notice each and every time I watch. Mmmmmm, Mycroft. I will read ... well, anything ... if I am promised there is good Mycroft.

it seems like Sherlock's relationship with the police evolved out of a bored game of Someone's Wrong on the Internet in the Newspaper, and I Must Correct Them.

It does read like that coming to the series new. And I can see where Moriarty (and Sherlock) get off on the "game" between them. Too smart for anyone's good, including the public's really.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Has anyone else watched both the "Sherlock" episodes that were aired on "Masterpiece Mystery," and then the versions on the DVD set? The edits make a BIG difference. For one, it's more clear that Sherlock's figured out it's the cabbie earlier, and the cabbie's connection to Moriarty is more spelled out. It's one of the few instances where I actually preferred the DVD edit to what I saw originally. (These edits may have aired in the UK. I don't know.)

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

Holmes wouldn't have Watson around if Watson were a bumbler.

That's what aired on BBC and what was floating around through nefarious sources, Victor. Yeah, the cuts were NOT GOOD. My reactions are based on the full eps because the cuts really took a lot away.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Castle: "way too meta"

God, I love this show.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Castle: "way too meta"

And Beckett's silently mouthing "Meta?" in confusion afterwards.

Also, Ryan and Esposito were extra adorable tonight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

They were all pretty adorable tonight.

Wait. Was there a new "Castle" last night?

Yes. All about an actress playing Nikki Heat in a movie trailing Beckett and Castle during an investigation.

I loved Ryan's proposal to Jenny, I actually got a little teary-eyed at it.
