I've been trying to avoid writing about this show. Mostly because it means a lot to me and because it is definitely one of the best shows I have seen with my itty bitty eyes. So writing about it and trying to do it justice to how I feel about it would be a bit difficult.

For this week's Pick of the Week, I've chosen to write about BBC's Sherlock two episodes in during their looooong awaited third season. And boy, does this series blow any expectations you have ever had while you had waited two whole years.

Two whole years.

In great anticipation for the third and last Sherlock episode for this season, and the last episode we will get to see in a probable 72 years, Bubblebeam Magazine proudly presents reasons to why BBC's Sherlock Season 3 will be the death of us. (POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT DOWN BELOW)

THE HOLMES/WATSON DYNAMIC

I have always loved the friendship dynamics between Sherlock and John. Even in alternate universes I have always loved the relationship between any of them, like Gregory House and James Wilson in House M.D., which is the medical answer for an Arthur Conan Doyle tribute.

The "Holmes" will be the star of the show, but it is the "Watson"who will actually ground him and be the rock and his foundation, the reason to why "Holmes" is the star in everyone's eyes in the first place. With the "Watson", he is just this unlikable and cold smart-ass everyone will eventually hate. The "Watson" will teach the "Sherlock" how to be a little bit more human.

The result of it was is essentially what Season 3 of BBC's Sherlock gave us. Sherlock Holmes is seen to be a lot more human than he was, and it is thanks to John Watson who took two years to tone him down. This season not only shows us the duo solving crime and murder again, it also shows us how Sherlock has changed for the better, though struggling here and there. He's trying to be a more compassionate person, and it's all thanks to Watson.

Through Sherlock, Watson also changed for the better. He's found passion in solving crime with his friend and though he can do pretty well with being a regular doctor, it showed in the first episode this season that the thought of Sherlock being alive again made him miss the old days of when they were solving mysteries. Sherlock showed him to go for what you love and are passionate about, and thus he landed Mary Morstan.

THE MARY MORSTAN EFFECT 

Mary appeared in John Watson's life during the time Sherlock disappeared, and to quote John she was "the best thing to happen in his life". Sherlock was also a good thing to happen but come on, he was a dick.

Mary's portrayal (played by Freeman's actual life partner Amanda Abbington) is outstanding and she can keep up with the two nerds easily well. She also supports getting these two 'back together again' and being the glue that kept them together.

Sherlock didn't seem at all threatened by Mary, he liked her. He deduced her personality by a glance like a grocery store cashier scanner and made a decision to trust her on the first day he ever met her. The only thing that made him feel a bit uneasy was the fact that Mary and John might spend more and more time with each other, and they have no time for him anymore.

But Mary encouraged their friendship, and it did make their friendship a lot stronger. WIthout Mary, they might have not gotten their friendship together after Sherlock surprised him at the restaurant with a drawn on mustache. "Surprise John I'm not dead after all," Jesus Christ, Sherlock.

MOLLY AND GREG?

Admit it, there's a certain tension between these two. Molly admitted to getting over Sherlock, even though her current boyfriend is a Sherlock lookalike, but why was Lestrade extra pissy in the start of the second episode?

Sure he was pissed because of that one case, but remember the end of the first episode when Molly showed off her new boyfriend and Greg Lestrade was like, "So, is this going to be a long term thing?" or something like that? He might have been upset over that. BIG OTP ALERT, THEY NEED TO HAPPEN.

And please tell me Greg sat next to Molly at the wedding for a reason.

I would also not like to forget how he looked when Molly took off her coat in the Christmas episode in that past season.

Bless his face.

THE DREADED EPISODE 3

Based on the reputations of both creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, we're going to be greeted with a terrifying and traumatizing ending for season 3.
It will probably traumatize us for weeks, leaving us with a cliffhanger and having our heads wrapped around what will happen next season, which we will probably have to wait another 2 years for.

Plus the new supervillain looks like Hannibal Lecter's brother.
Edit: Okay, so Lars Mikkelsen is actually Mads' brother.
Despite the will to spare ourselves from this mess and just watch these two happier episodes over and over again, we're masochists.

We really are.
