The love for my fandoms is always interesting to watch (but sometimes depressing, when you know how it will/can go). From the initial crush to something less obsessive, more stable - and sometimes - to falling out of love.
Sherlock (you know, that show with only 3 episodes so far) I still have a massive crush on. I swear the duration of this phase is out of proportion, considering there's been no new material.
And now I'm not even sure I want new material! It's all the fault of the cliffhanger. It was so good that I'm afraid its solution won't live up to my expectations. And that's the fault of time. The first time I saw the cliffhanger I wanted more, I needed to know what happened then right the fuck now! But a bit of waiting and you learn to appreciate the cliffhanger. It gives you the time to think about the possibilities. That's also exactly what's bad about it, because then you start prefering some of the ideas and they turn into expectations. And, honestly, if that bomb doesn't explode, there will have to be some other epic shit to make up for it!
*sigh* Sometimes the solutions of cliffhangers destroy them forever. You know, it was an awesome moment when you didn't know what would happen then. But as soon as you know the moment isn't the same anymore. I like the cliffhangers that stay awesome despite your knowledge of how it will be resolved. I swear they exist, although I can't think of a single example right now.
So it's been said earlier that season 2 would have Irene Adler, Hound and Reichenbach. Now Mark Gatiss said a bit more and fans are freaking out juuuust a bit.
The part about the character development? Yay!
But "twisted love story" and people get understandably panicky. I mean, I think what he means there is the case, not Irene/Sherlock, but you can't blame people for worrying. And since I'm a panicky person by nature, I'm worried myself too, but only a bit. Because, despite what Mofftiss said in the DVD commentary, but what if they are sooo changeable?
And then there's Steve Thompson writing The Final Problem. We want that episode to be awesome, but Steve Thompson is the one who wrote The Blind Banker, which, everyone seems to agree, is the weakest episode.
So there isn't actual new material yet, but at least new info. Finally something to relieve my withdrawal symptoms! A crush is much more fun without that way.
