I realized it's a good idea to let people know what's going on, and it keeps me paying attention too. Anyway, I'm glad I inspired you to include info like that too!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-59453148085328937372014-03-12T16:06:26.746-04:002014-03-12T16:06:26.746-04:00That's an excellent passage to bring up.

I think you've got a great approach :) When you say that you liked a certain movie you're being genuine, but you'll also mention whether you think it's family-friendly or not which then gives the reader the opportunity to reflect or look it up Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112080523452829647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-48504410461639559062014-03-03T09:07:43.901-05:002014-03-03T09:07:43.901-05:00Everyone has their own comfort level -- I read one...Everyone has their own comfort level -- I read one blog post that advised people not to watch "The Empty Hearse" because it has something so morally repugnant in it that they felt defiled and had to turn it off. I'm assuming they're referring to the implied kiss between Sherlock and Moriarty in what clearly turned out to be someone's imaginings.

Still, better late than never!<br /><br />I guess I'm just been bemused by reviews for this episode that say it's terrible because of the "nudity" and because it makes Irene a dominatrix.

I wouldn't say that this is my absolute favourite Sherlock episode but I still love it a lot.

And this episode was so mind-boggling -- the scene where he figures out her phone password completely wowed me -- and hilarious!! I love that scene at Buckingham Palace too.

My main problem was that Irene was bi, which was completely unnecessary in my opinion. Other than that, this was a very solid premier episode. I enjoyed the next two episodes a lot better though. Good review, I look forward to more of your reviews of the series! :)<br /><James the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.com
