It is possible to experience watching The Reichenbach Fall viscerally, and by viscerally I mean my actual stomach hurts. At least I didn't cry this time? Wait, I'm crying now, it's apparently a delayed fucking reaction.

Anyway, Leigh and I rewatched both serieses this week. If you don't follow me on tumblr, my random thoughts as we did so are:

here: ASIP & TBB
here: TGG
here and here: THoB
here: TRF

I didn't write any notes on Tumblr for ASiB because I was too busy being in love with Irene Adler.


...OK, seriously, I just changed my icon from my default to the one of Sherlock on the couch and now I'm crying again. Changing it to Molly...there, not crying, just thinking about how I need a better Molly icon.

TGG is basically a perfect episode. It's so tightly done from start to finish, and there's all this emotional whiplash in it. Guh, the pool scene. Just, just guh.

I had forgotten how emotionally different the first and second serieses are. John and Sherlock really are still feeling each other out in the first series, but they're absolutely a unit by the second. It changes the whole dynamic.

The rewatch was Leigh's idea. I'm quite grateful to her. :)

It's true, they really have cemented their dynamic in S2, and I feel like that pool scene and TGG in general played a big role in that.
