Fandom of the Week

As some of you may have noticed, there is now a poll to the left of the screen! Starting today, I will randomly draw a popular fandom (contact me if you would like one added) at the beginning of every week. With this drawing, I will create a poll on the right side of the screen relating to that fandom. At the end of the week I will make one master post about that fandom and the results of the weekly poll. (The next week the previously chosen fandom will be removed from the drawing to prevent a repeat but will be added again for the following week's drawing.) So, vote for the polls and comment all about everything! Go fandom crazy! Hope you guys like this idea! :)

Let's Make Deductions: Sherlock Series 3

Did you miss me?

So fellow Sherlockians... the time has come, and in a short three weeks, passed, for Sherlock Series 3. And I gotta admit... It was pretty amazing! I mean WOW! There were many UNBELIEVABLE plot twists and new characters and all of it was plain brilliant. From drunk Sherlock, to assassin Mary, to baby Watson, to Magnusen, to Sherlock's parents, there was an extreme amount of enjoyable tidbits! So, while of course we are sad that Series 3 has drawn to a close... I know that I was thoroughly impressed. I am beyond excited for Series 4 and all the new things coming with it. Now it's time for debate.

The Sign of Three

While The Sign of Three was definitely not your typical Sherlock episode, it was really, really good. I loved the wedding and the memories and the spur of the moment "hidden murderer" twist. However, the whole thing was just a little odd and eve though I liked it, I was very skeptical for a good portion of the episode. Did you like The Sign of Three? Comment!

"Mary Watson"

This isn't really up for debate in my world. Mary is amazing! She is an awesome character and I am so excited for her to be an infinite character on Sherlock!

The Baby

Ok. I know a whole lot of people are excited for the arrival of Baby Watson but I mean really? I was very excited about the introduction of Mary but even a wife for John was kind of pushing it. I mean it's always been: Two best friends. Sherlock and John. John and Sherlock. However, I was accepting of Mary. But a baby?! That's really testing the limits, Moffat and Gatiss. With a whole family, how will John have any time at all to spend with Sherlock and fight crimes?! So, yeah, I'm just a little unsure about it. What do you guys think about Baby Watson?

Moriarty

There has been much debate over this topic and let me be the first to say, I more than anything was hoping that Moriarty was actually back. He is an amazing villain, however, you can't easily fake shooting yourself through the head. Also, on the "Did you miss me?" reel, it was not Moriarty's actual voice. Yes, I know there was the moment after the credits, but Moffat revealed in an interview they added that for the fans. Lastly, in the Sherlock books, once Moriarty dies, another villain uses his image as, in a way, a scare tactic. So, I'm sorry to burst your bubble.  

Let me know what you think! Comment! Let's debate! What did you like most about Series 3? What are you looking forward to in Series 4? Do tell! That's all for now!

Let's cry: Ann and Chris

If you don't watch Parks and Recreation... you should. I absolutely love this show and adore the characters. While it is a comedy and I laugh way too hard, it has it's sweet moments. This past Thursday's episode, Ann and Chris, was pretty much just a compilation of sad and sweet moments. Ann and Chris are literally (*crying*) two of my favorite characters! Sadly, very very very sadly, we said goodbye to them infinitely during season 6 episode 13. That was this past Thursday and I am still recovering. IT'S NOT EVEN A FANDOM OR A BOOK! There were three reasons I was upset about it and I will now tell you why.

1. Leslie

Leslie is always peppy and it made me sad seeing her sad. I mean honestly, if you were saying goodbye to your best friend who you see every single day and wouldn't see them for who knows how long, wouldn't you be really really sad.

2. The party

The party was one of the sweetest things in the whole episode. It just was. It made me happy and sad. I don't know how to describe it.

3. April

Chris telling April that he was proud of her and her knowing it. April muttering "I love you too" to Ann. I was so done.

4. The box

The box Chris was given by the boys was so cool and they tried to make it funny but I couldn't deal.

5. When Ron said goodbye

Must I say more?

6. The final goodbye

 Ben and Chris saying they were the best friends each of them could have ever had. Leslie and Ann saying they loved each other and both crying as they said goodbye.

7. Ann and Chris

The overall episode. The two of them leaving. Everything that happened. And the fact we don't get to see the baby, know if Leslie and Ben are the godparents, and a possible Chris and Ann wedding in the future.

So, overall it was literally a night full of emotions for Parks and Rec fans. All of the above things managed to upset me and I'm assuming they upset other people too. I really want to know if people who watched this were okay with the Ann and Chris send off. Let me know!


P.S. I know I said three reasons... there were just too many feelings.
