AND HERE WE ARE! Back with Watson in London and no longer in Utah!
The prisoner, aka Mr Hope, has finished his 3 hours long monologue and well, time to get him to Scotland Yard
HOLMES! I *understand* that you trust him. But some caution? As a treat?
Also, Watson, keep that bisexuality in check for a moment, lol. No, my man, i understand the feeling!
Well, let's get him in a cab before Holmes blushes so hard as to light the room
Lestrade going 'well i drive' is a mood. Love it of him.
Perfect, sir, now what about a statement?
'Oh yes, sure. I'll tell everything'
'... You sure?'
'Oh well, i'll die either way' - shrugs -
I love Watson being a doctor here and diagnosing him via _PLACING HIS HAND ON HIS CHEST_.
I'm not a medical doctor, to be fair, but i've always thought that diagnosing an aneurism was a tad more difficult? Either way, good job Watson 6!
Now, for the statement?
Yesss, great! Mr Hope gives his statement and both Watson and Lestrade take notes. I love that few years later they're close enough to compare them. That's so good!!
On a side note, i can well imagine a young David Burke as Watson taking notes
Even if he lacks a mustache in this photo. Such a pretty Watson.

— I couldn't care less about your future.
— Well, you'd better care, because you're part of it, and so is your wife.
r/v/b for @tortoisesshells.
#victoria devlin starring in: i gave up trying to find my father so i just got a few boyfriends old enough to be my dad. or my uncle.#tortoisesshells#➤ roger collins & victoria winters & burke devlin. ┊ to know how it ends‚ and still begin to sing it again.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#gifs.#i've been accused of not exactly truth-telling when it comes to posting about r/v ... well.#this is lies. we made it up. but look at them! aren't they just darling!#thank you 60's daytime television.#this is my unethical polycule. the nonmonogamy is consensual and negotiated we're just evil in other ways.#(one of them framed another one for vehicular manslaughter and sent him to prison.#two of them have been the other one's employees at one point or another.#they have all — at some point — accused each other of murder; except for accusing vicki who is by all accounts an angel#and who would NEVER frame her boyfriend for her manslaughter on purpose. although this does happen in canon. accidentally.)#also that she stabs roger with a knife in the au but that's not *really* her fault because she's under hypnotic vampire influence.#(and – moreover that roger a. deserves it and b. enjoys it)#because they are doomed to reenact the machinations of collinsport's tripartite love story.#because a woman in possession of josette's (& laura's) locket; of an adventuring‚ prosperous husband who builds her a home in collinsport;#of a vampire-coded boyfriend also in love with her but doomed chiefly to yearning and the occasional bite;#of a foretold fate of falling from the cliffside; and on top of all that is a brunette – well‚ she must be josette.

what even was the point of ash being an android in alien. it was just kind of a meaningless twist imo… but it does mean we get the setup in aliens where ripley is distrustful of androids and then bishop (♥️♥️♥️♥️) proves her wrong and turns out to be a hero
#if you have a different opinion about ash please let me know!!!#but it just falls a bit flat for me. he could have just been a human who was under orders . like burke in aliens

I figured it out. actually only the first two seasons of Greys are good.
#after season two the show starts BELIEVING the mcdreamy propaganda#and forgets that derek is actually and has always been. at best! a morally ambiguous little creep#and once they forget that? it's sort of the kiss of death#the nuance is just gone#and they throw characters together and break them up wayyyy too fast#in a way that it's clear it's for the drama! it's supposed to be salacious!#it's not HONEST anymore#the derek meredith relationship in season 1 & 2? was HONEST#they were like 'here's this beautiful sexy man! he's so mysterious!! he's her boss but there's no way he's using her!#pSYCH!! the reason he's mysterious is that he's mARRIED#and the way that hurts meredith is real!!#her reaction is real!!!#derek making the effort to fix things with his wife is real and makes him a more interesting character!!#izzie's relationship with alex is honest!!!!#(denny is a little dramatic but i'll give it to him!)#george's crush on meredith? totally real!#all the shit in season three with izzie and george and callie? not real!!!!! it's not!!!!!!!!!#burke and christina getting engaged after not speaking to each other for days/weeks and then him leaving her at the altar? not real!!!!!#derek telling meredith he wants to marry her but be warned: he might fall in love with someone else in the meantime while she heals?#it's real but it's SHITTY and the show doesn't seem to know that!!!#there are good episodes. but the SHOW isn't Great anymore. it's not terrible yet! but it's no longer Shockingly Good#cate liveblogs!

Been thinking very hard about Charly's sacrifice and how that relates to Bury Your Gays. I want to preface everything with YMMV and it's completely valid if you're upset. In my opinion, Charly's death worked.
BYG is a set of tropes: when a characters's death is for shock value with little to no long term impact. Usually their death isn't about them and they have no agency in it, it's purpose is to inflict pain on their love interest (a main character) or to motivate another character, often for only a few episodes, often a straight man. There is also the element of creator bias, when they are aware how much that character/that relationship means to the audience and either ignorantly or maliciously choose to inflict the pain of killing them anyway. Arrow, The 100, Person of Interest, ST: Discovery, Supernatural and Killing Eve are the ones I'm most familiar with, but there are hundreds of others. Charly's death fits none of those criteria.
Charly had agency in her sacrifice. It wasn't a stray bullet, it wasn't pointless; she saved the galaxy and prevented genocide. Her decision was a reflection of her devotion to the ideals of the Union, even if she felt conflicted. The belief that all life has value, that even if it's your enemy and you have every reason to hate them, *genocide is always wrong*. That's what Charly decided. That was her story and her choice, no one else's. Consequently her actions have changed the course of the entire central storyline for the show. Her sacrifice *mattered*.
Contrast that with the Orville's Thursday counterpart, Strange New Worlds, which also killed a minority character in episode 9. It was pointless and he had no agency in it. A shock value death after the stakes of the episode had already resolved. It added nothing to the episode or the overall narrative. He wasn't even mentioned in the subsequent finale; he was disposable. In a lackluster and rushed funeral scene he got a short by the numbers speech about how he helped Uhura find herself, because his death wasn't about him.
Or go back a few years to another Trek when Discovery killed Hugh at the height of BYGs. Another pointless, shock value death that accomplished nothing except making Paul miserable.
The Orville has built up to this moment for three seasons. The episode was a culmination of every major storyline for the show, and the paradigm of the story has permanently changed because of Charly's actions. It's a tricky business killing any character in your story. It has to feel both too soon and inevitable, and making sure it matters to the narrative is something the majority of shows fail to do. This counts ten fold for queer characters. The Orville is a rare example that has met that threshold for me. To write off Charly's sacrifice as BYG is to imply that it didn't matter, and it did.
#BYG is still a very big issue in media right now#but it's rectangles and squares#not every queer death falls into those tropes and if we say they do then it loses all meaning#overall I don't think we're at a point where queer characters should be killed#but I think it's important to recognize the difference between when it's done well and when it's not#anyway that's my two cents#the orville#the orville new horizons#the orville: new horizons#the orville spoilers#star trek: strange new worlds spoilers#the orville 3x09#charly burke#my angry lesbian saved the world

BONUS ROUND
137/200.
#i like you because you have a conscience+ you don't like what you're doing+ the money really was for my silence+ so i started to drink OKAY!#welcome to collinsport maine! primary export is sardines; but close behind is monsters and monstrousness.#anyway. i do think it's really important to burke's characterization that even at the point where he gets to full picture: that roger;#bribed sam to stay quiet and not testify that roger was driving; and that sam's conscience has been killing him for ten years;#burke's first instinct is still revenge. i just think it's neat. can't unbite that rabid dog or something.#the news from collinsport#burke devlin#sam evans#dark shadows#i like that it was a collaborative effort; creating a monster. it's neat that burke's homecoming means that burke & everyone he used to kno#& trust in collinsport look at each other and realize what happened 10 years ago. roger set him up to take the fall. bought laura;#with prestige and the collins name. bought sam with a stupendous amount of money. even the people who smelled a rat (like bill);#stayed quiet out of loyalty to the collinses. and burke's decided to make it everyone's problem; even if they had nothing to do with it.
