Gillian's Thoughts

1. Everyone has met a 'Sir' bucephalus hodge who constantly takes credit for everyone else's work.

2. I really think they should stop giving Sherlock a sister. Like, ok it's supposed be this long lost sibling/dark family secret/badass woman is victorian era trope. But it is possible to make that character without making her the sister [i mean look at Xiao Wei. She's so awesome, i don't have enough words. She went from a village cut off from the outside world to victorian age Uma Thurman in Kill Bill (idk how to properly describe her so please settle for this, it's a compliment)].

The point is, it feels like they're trying to be woke or feminist or whatever by giving us a 'female Sherlock' but it falls short.

Addendum: if you want a female sherlock, just make sherlock a woman. The Japanese adaptation did that and even though it was short, it was awesome.

3. I really REALLY wish that Cordelia Holmes had gone full rage mode on Silas. This asshole faked her daughter's death, abused (at least emotionally but i also believe physically because Mycroft flinched because of him) her children, practically stole her wealth, and locked her up in an ASYLUM. WHERE SHE WAS ELECTROCUTED AND TORTURED.

4. They did Mycroft a bit dirty. Like, this is the softest most loving iteration i have seen of him and he deserved to be treated better. I get that he is exasperating. But, he was also a child. As the elder child, he must have been so scared AND AWARE of what was happening during Beatrice's death. And it's clear he has shouldered the burden of protecting his brother and mother as best as he could, POSSIBLY PROTECTING THEM FROM HIS OWN FATHER.

5. They wrote Beatrice with too little depth. She goes through so much emotional trauma and we never really see a lot of emotion from her. She's clearly capable of emotion but she's written to be so ... unbothered? by everything that's happened. I really wish they had shown her spiral and be traumatised by the truth and her father's manipulation and see her confront her reality.

I feel like she was shown to be really apathetic and even her change of heart when Cordelia tells her about the magpie didn't feel genuine.

She mostly want to kill Silas because he's planning on replacing her with Sherlock, so it's just jealousy and even her "attraction" to Moriarty (although clearly, we understand 😉) kinda feels only motivated by the fact that He is very interested in her. So once again, pretty selfish reasons.

I really loved the show, and the mystery around her death was really interesting but I do have mixed feelings about her character.

Don't know how we're supposed to feel about her and to be honest, if (when ?) we get a season 2, I'd rather witness 8 episodes of Sherlock and Moriarty's crumbling friendship with their banter and competition than a Moriarty/Beatrice partnership.

Safe travels, sir. Thank you for everything.

b.a.p weren't the first, but they were pioneers 😠 I find irritating people saying the 4, 5 or whtvr "it" boy group is so "original"

groups before b.a.p didn't wear military uniform that much, now everybody wears it

before b.a.p dancing, most groups slow danced, now everybody dances like warrior, power or one shot

b.a.p don't get enough credit, they're more like an obscure part of kpop 🥲

It’s literally about a guy that lives to regret his most renowned invention, who wished more than anything it wouldn’t become a weapon, and when faced with his own guilt is told to suck it up and fake a smile.

This movie is trying to get the audience to understand the plight of the scientist that feels like he invented death. He was manipulated time after time by the US military and government, and truly was used for his genius more than he “used” anyone.

It is a 3 hour movie of pain, regret, and opposition between scientific progress and moral implications of doing so.
