Echo is 1!

As I was making this slideshow this morning, I realized how fast this last year had gone. Echo has gone from being a small, tempest-in-a-teacup, bitey puppy creature to a dog who loves her family and apologizes when she bites. She's still small, and she still has a temper. We've got some work to do :)

We love you, Echo, and even though you've ruined the sleeves of my shirts and made me play countless rounds of fetch and made me take you on three walks a day just to get you to sleep, this slideshow thing is all for you, even though all you care about is the next treat.

Happy Birthday, Echo. Attagirl.

Miss Me?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHIT'SMORIARTYRUNRUNRUN


So I finished Sherlock Series 3.

He Lives Again?

Certainly looks like it, although I am dying (pardon the pun) to know HOW you can have the back of your head blown off and still manage to turn up and say, "Miss Me?" and scare the tar off of people.

Sneaky bad guy.

I've come up with three theories on that (and DO not say, oh, here she goes again. I am not going again. No. These are options.)

1. He was never really dead and that really is him.

2. He is dead and someone's impersonating him now (unlikely given that bit at the end of the credits-EEP.)

3. He was never Moriarty and he was impersonating him and is dead, but now the real Moriarty decided it was high time to bring back his false persona.

Honestly, it could be any one of them, but I like 1 because it's simplest of all. Not the only one up on the roof faking our deaths last year, eh, Sherlock?

We might only have to wait a six months/a year for the next one-they're already talking release dates for Series 4 (thank the Mofftiss gods for that. Nothing like being the Fandom Who Waited Not-As-Long-This-Time.)

There's not a lot to be pondered on at the end of this one. Moriarty's sudden return (conveniently after Ick-Boy Magnusson was out of the way (pee on Sherlock's fireplace/steal his olives/stick your fingers in his water glass)) and it gets you a bullet in the head from the man himself. Deserved what he got. No one steals olives unless they want certain death.

Nice One, Guys

How He Did It (I think. There were two other theories that were absolute rubbish so this one is the one I'd go with. REALLY? Moriarty and Sherlock getting it on up on the rooftop? Sherlock swinging through a glass window and dramatically laying a Bond-level smacker on Molly? Now they're playing with us.)

Mycroft fed Moriarty information. The Holmes brothers played him like a violin.

So I was right on that one.

Those were Sherlock/Mycroft's people on the ground.

John got hit by a well-placed bike messenger.

Those I had right.

However, Sherlock landed on a mattress. No ponticum. The crew on the ground carted off the mattress just as John made it around the corner and Sherlock was there, lying on the ground in a heap, make-upped to the nines. Sherlock deftly places the squash ball, which I shot down only because I didn't think he would do it lying on the pavement, right where it cuts off the pulse and so John would think he was dead.

So much for nine pages of theory. I had maybe half of one right.

Sigh.

Anyway, if we ever get the actual truth, I'll let you know.

Ta,
Bec
