Sorry it took me a while to answer this comment! Have you had a chance to rewatch yet? I’m interested to hear what you think. This season really sparked something in me that I wasn’t expecting; I guess it came along at just the right time and spoke to some need I didn’t know I had in that moment. But I can definitely understand that it doesn’t work the same for others.

I’m so glad! I was struck when I first saw the way you formatted your posts, and I knew it was something I wanted to try out at some point. The 1, 2, 3 structure especially is a brilliant way to do things. And I’m glad you are finding interesting things in what I post! I came to my research field in kind of a roundabout manner, but I really do love it and want more people to experience all the things that are hiding in the cracks, so to speak.

Oh I love it! I love it! It’s neat to see the format from the outside — and I love all these new perspectives on a literary era to which I, to my shame, have little exposure. I think you’ll convince me that needs to be fixed in no time, though. And thank you for the shout-out! Very much looking forward to more of your posts.

I loved the first and third episode of the first season so hard (let’s not talk about that middle episode, k?), and I had high expectations for A Scandal in Bulgravia, especially since it features my gal Irene, but I was disappointed. Since reading your posts, I’m going to go back and rewatch it to see if I have a different second impression. Also, the Hound episode sounds fantastic. (Ally fact: Hound of the Baskervilles was the first Sherlock Holmes story I ever read, when I was seven, after seeing it on Wishbone)

Aw, I have to say I’m glad that my posts are having that effect! I never expected to be as taken with the BBC series as I am, but it has just recently become my current-favorite thing.

Confession: I’ve found myself falling out of love with Holmes & Watson lately, which is unsettling me to say the least. Reading your posts and taking in your love for all this is helping me get back into it in a big way.
