Sherlock series 3 and Doctor Who

So Sherlock finally has an airdate in Britain of Wednesday, January 1, 2014!!!!!!! (And then the next two will be on Sundays: January 5th and 12th). Which was announced in flowers driven around by a hearse, omg. An empty one, we would hope. Can’t believe it’s less than a month away... I’m of course desperate for new content, but I really hope this doesn’t signal the end of what I see as a golden age of fanfic with all the varied and brilliant takes on what happened after Reichenbach. I doubted the writers that they could make series 2 as amazing as series 1, and I was proven wrong. So now I won’t speculate, I’ll just hope with all my heart that series 3 is as good or better than series 1 and 2 were. But I recognize that it’s a very tall order for the poor writers!

Also in BBC news, this time Doctor Who:

( Cut for musings on Paul McGann, other anniversary things )

The Hobbit premiere!!

Oh my god, you guys, there is a livestream from The Hobbit premiere right now. Apparently Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Orlando Bloom, as well as other actors, are going to be there!!! *excited*

EDIT: All done now, and it was great! Benedict wore, like, a red velvet tux that was great and perfect for the dragon Smaug! :) I'd recommend this clip where Benedict pinches Martin and then flicks him off to say hi. Their chemistry continues offscreen, clearly, ahahaha. :D
