Please bear in mind that this was all watched with Dutch commentary and Dutch is a language I cannot speak. Also, I saw none of the women's, which makes me sad because I love Beth Tweddle (she and Dan Purvis are walking examples of the saying, if you want something done, send a Northener). I also didn't get to see a lot of the men's finals.

All that being said Some points )

TV Meme - Day 29 - Latest TV show obsession

You may have noticed my high pitched and squeaky posts about Sherlock. There will, eventually, be a high pitched, squeaky, excessively detailed recap of episode 3. It's just one of those shows that plays to the things I like, particularly Sherlock himself.

This is not one of these blind, oblivious loves, the second episode was chronically bad in parts, but it's pretty total.
