A review of His Last Vow from an American Sherlockian who wasn't entirely happy with the finale of Series Three. (But there were lots of good parts, too!)

Also, these are opinions. I'm not looking to fight. I'm looking to discuss, Sherlockian-to-Sherlockian. :)

Summary
In which I finally put my finger on something that has always creeped me out about the otherwise very enjoyable X-Files ep "Small Potatoes," in which a guy who has the ability to alter his face impersonates Mulder and almost makes out with Scully.

Summary
In which, once again, a Vince Gilligan episode is 95% awesome and 5% oh for crying out loud did you really have to do that to Scully.
Series

Tags
Summary
In which, while talking about what this episode suggests about the darker side of the Mulder/Scully partnership, I cannot stop myself from going on a few little rants, chiefly about the persistent depiction of the single life as a lonely and empty wasteland full of isolation and despair.

Summary
First time around, I found this episode flawed but intriguing.
This time around I hate it with the white-hot fire of a thousand suns.
The teen rating is for language. There's some profanity.

A Letter to My Ardent Fans by TinyFrostGiant
Fandoms: Thor - All Media Types, Thor (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
03 Sep 2015
Tags
Summary
I am Loki Laufeyson, a handsome and cunning man who was always meant to rule. But, despite being a monster who can never find love anywhere, many of my adoring fans see me as a poor, wounded child who can be saved by love-and especially saved by the love of a pure-hearted woman. I am so sick of seeing this truly disgusting interpretation of me on the vast database known to mortals as the Internet that I have decided to disprove these ideas once and for all. Take a look at this letter, and follow these guidelines thoroughly. If you do not, then I can assure you that the next letter will not be as kind as this one.

Theories and Facts, or, why does the idea that Sherlock Holmes is asexual seem to be so unregarded? by ArgentNoelle
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
17 Jan 2018
Tags
Summary
In the ACD stories Sherlock Holmes is canonically asexual (”canonically”, as in: it’s not like he literally says that but explaining why he’s *not* requires much more mental gymnastics than just going with what is portrayed by his words, actions, and non-interest in canon), but in pretty much every adaptation ever made, people feel the need to shoehorn in a love interest (usually Irene Adler, who honestly deserves better). [And this is despite the fact that I rather enjoyed most of the Mary Russell novels.]

Summary
MCU's story of Carol Danvers is an intimate tale of self-discovery, knowing oneself, and embracing oneself as one is. It is not a classic confrontation between good and evil, yet people either complain that there is no villain, or that the villain is an obvious caricature. Well, here are some words on this.
