The unaired episodes of Season 2 of Apartment 23 are up on Hulu now!!! I know how I’m spending my evening.

every time i go to someone’s blog and they have switched over to waltzy’s mobile theme, i mentally high five them for making good life decisions.

currently getting my life blood from stupid internet commenters who dislike arizona, too.

so enormously irritated with arizona until the end of time, forever and ever, amen. she basically blamed HER AFFAIR on callie making the decision to amputate her leg. she cannot get over the fact that callie did so after arizona made callie promise not to amputate the leg, which fine, EXCEPT SHE WOULD HAVE LITERALLY DIED IF HER LEG WASN’T AMPUTATED. so every bit of hostility and animosity and adultury is totally justified. what.ever.

also dnc about alex/jo (i actually had to pause because i was blecching out loud), dnc about april/jackson, dnc about webber in general, dnc about the casual flaming bus thrown in because it’s grey’s anatomy, and lol as if meredith would die during an unseen surgery after surviving—as the show had cristina so helpfully point out—a gun shooting, a plane crash, idk, a million other things.

in conclusion, lol grey’s anatomy.

“But the final hour is called “Heroine” for a reason, as this is also a story about Joan Watson at the end of the day. In a case where Sherlock is at his weakest, and when he is unable to realize that the path to victory is failure because it means acknowledging that failure is even a possibility, it is Joan who sees more clearly. Joan isn’t afraid of Moriarty, but is rather protective of Sherlock (as both his sober companion and his partner), and the confusion that Moriarty’s emergence creates within Sherlock creates surety for Joan. If Sherlock only sees puzzles and Moriarty only sees games, Watson sees actual people: her interest in Sherlock is human, the kind of relationship that Moriarty can’t even imagine (referring to her as a mascot at one point in their lunch date). While the truth about Moriarty robs Sherlock of the most striking, human connection he believed he had ever made, the resulting investigation reaffirms a more powerful connection in his partnership with Joan, the newly discovered species of Euglassia Watsonia a metaphor for what happens when an extremely rare bee miraculously unexpectedly finds a compatible partner.” — Myles McNutt’s Elementary review at The A.V.
